Added some chopped onion at hubby's request. Son who "hates" meatloaf , loved this. Made in 9 inch round pans and iced with mashed potatoes for April Fools Day.

Found this recipe 6 months ago. My family LOVED it. We make it once a week. I have made a few adjustments. We are not fond of onion soup mix so I use hidden valley ranch dip mixes. We also use ritz crackers. Sometimes I put mozzerella cheese in the middle and sometimes I put slices of bacon across the top. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

I took the advice of some of the other reviews and changed things up a little. I used whole wheat saltine crackers, added celery, onion and some spices. Also I used a bit more sausage than beef. I also took some marble cheese and stuck it in random places throughout the loaf before cooking then coated it in a sweet BBQ sauce. Delicious!!!!

It was good-ish, maybe better as a breakfast meat. As a dinner meat, it was kinda dry. Maybe it could be enhanced with Wooster sauce, another egg, medium-heat sausage or another spice. We won't make this one again.

This recipe fit the bill for my entire family and we have some finicky eaters. I ground up my own pork from the last of the hog we bought last year. I mixed sleeves of saltines and Ritz. I did add a touch of buttermilk to aid the eggs in binding. I doubled the recipe in anticipation of meatloaf sandwiches and everyone is looking forward to those tomorrow. Thank you for providing a quick and affordable recipe, esp. great for busy moms (and dads).

My meatloaf was for only 2 people, so I made half a recipe. Very tasty! But your recipe has too many calories. I changed it by adding 1/2 red pepper chopped; 3/4 small white onion chopped; and used only 10 saltine crackers. Will likely use only beef next time, also. 4 STARS!!! Thanks!

This was great! I'm lucky that my family already likes meatloaf but I like to try new things often. I added salt and pepper (you can do that you know...lol) and the ingredients were really simple to understand. This recipie is a no brainer and a winner in my book! way to go mom!

The family really enjoyed this recipe. I made slight modifications to suit our tastes: 1 additional egg, 4 slices of toasted whole wheat bread instead of saltines, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper. It turned out great and everyone went back for seconds. Thanks for a great recipe!!

We LOVED this recipe!! We used a Hot pork sausage and wheat club crackers. I was afraid that it would be to spicy because of the hot sausage, but it blended with the beef and came out perfectly seasoned.
