I didn't have liquid smoke, which I'm sure would have made a huge difference, but this was delicious as it was. I love a good meatloaf, and this is a great base with the combination of bread crumbs, corn meal, and oat meal.

Probably a 4.5 star recipe flavorwise, but it just crumbled coming out of the loaf pan. Will try this again, but I'll compensate for how moist it was.

I had been looking for a great meatloaf recipe and this is it. My whole family loved it and went back for seconds. Didn't change a thing. Yummy

My husband was not happy to hear I was making meatloaf. But once I made it... he was in love!! Made a few changes after reading the reviews. Omitted tomato sauce and water. Placed 1/2 cup of tomatoe paste and added enough water to make total volume of 3/4 cup. Used fresh bread to make my bread crumbs. Everyone must try this recipe!!!

The only thing I'll do differently next time is double the amount of sauce for the top. My husband devoured this and the leftovers didn't las 24 hours.

This was quite good and it was enjoyed. However, it was a little sweet for my taste. But the rest of the family loved it.

I substituted turkey for the ground meat as well as V8 juice, and took the suggestion of poking holes into loaf before pouring sauce on top. Halfway into starting the recipe, I realized that I did not have the cornmeal, so just crossed my fingers and added more breadcrumbs. The meatloaf was moist but held together well. Defnitely a keeper for my recipe book. Thanks!

I followed the recipe and the flavor was good but needed a little bit more, it was too heavy on the breadcrumbs. Instead of tomato juice I may next time try V8 spicy juice, a dash more of liquid smoke and use a mixture of beef and pork. I may cut the bread crumbs down to 1/2 cup and increase the meat to a pound and a half.

this has to be one of the worst meatloaves i have ever made. even worse than the ones with too much breading. I knew i was in trouble when i mixed up the filler before adding the meat and had more filler than meat. the flavor was also really bland. i haven't been more disapointed in a recipe in a long time
