I didn't like the texture...it was too dense. Next time I'll use bread crumbs and double the sauce. I added 1/2 lb. of hot italian sausage for extra bite.

Very good! My husband said it was a homerun. I followed the meat mixture exactly and had no problem with it falling apart. I was also worried about the texture without any celery or onion but again no problerm. I did change the sauce slightly because I didn't have any worcestershire sauce. I used some barbacue sauce that had a smoky sweet flavor along with some hot sauce because I didn't have any spicy vegatable juice and we definitely like our food with a kick. I will definitely be making this again. Thank you for a great recipe.

this was ok, but i prefer meatloaf with more texture. i might make it again if i didn't have any celery, onions, etc. on hand.

The flavor was great. The whole family loved it. My only complaint is that it is a bit too moist. I made it in a meatloaf pan, so that extra fat could drip from it, but it still fell apart.

Wow, wow and wow! This is so yummy. Nice and firm, doesn't fall apart and is packed with flavor. A little salty, so next time I might cut out the salt since the ranch packet is so salty. I also had to improvise on the sauce because I was out of Worcestershire Sauce. I used Soy Sauce, which wasn't bad, but I look forward to the next time I make it so I can make the sauce right!

I used a homemade dry ranch seasoning mix (Kelly/SD's from this site--half a batch) and I did not add the extra garlic powder and onion powder. I only added a pinch of salt and I used my own homemade whole wheat bread crumbs. I served the sauce on the side so that the boys could choose wether or not they wanted any. They actually ate it on it's own without the sauce, though they did try a little. This turned out really well and the boys liked it well enough. It also stayed together and didn't fall apart in a huge clump which is something I've always struggled with. I'd make this again. NOTE: I highly recommend you combine the ingredients and form the meatloaf and let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours before baking. I think that helps a great deal in making it more solid.
