I have been using allrecipes for years and never reviewed a recipe until now... do not try this recipe. No one in my family would eat it, including me after one bite. Sorry to be so cruel, but I wouldn't want anyone else experiencing what I did. I have been on South Beach for a month now and this is the only recipe I found to be this bad!!! Sorry folks.

This makes a good starter recipe, however I modified it by doing half carrots and half parsnips as the veggie to add into it. I have not tried cooking it in the oven, but instead found a great way to microwave it: create a large flattened doughnut shaped "loaf" (about 12-16 inches diameter) in and cook it in the microwave on high, covered in wax paper, for 10 minutes. Top with the sauce and cook another 4-5 minutes. I like it this way with either beef or turkey.

I did exactly what user AGENTLUCY suggested in her review, and it was SOOOO GOOOD!! So flavorful and moist, and still SB-friendly. I used an xtra large glass baking pan and formed a loaf in the middle, and cooked for 35 minutes. Mmmm.... The 5 stars are for that version, not the original, which I didn't try.

This was tasteless. There is another South Beach Diet Meatloaf recipe out there that is much better than this one.

I've made different variations of meatloaf and this version is similar to mine. This recipes serves a great basis for a meatloaf in that the texure is wonderful. I used 1 1/2 pounds of ground turkey since I love the leftovers :o)~~ Here is what I did different: 1. I used 1 tsp of seasoning salt. 2. I omitted the red wine 3. I used about 2/3 can of tomato paste to the meatloaf mixture (no sauce was placed on top) 4. I added 2 - 3 tsp Italian seasoning 5. I added 1 TBS of worcestershire sauce 6. I pulsed the oats in food processor so the oat pieces were about halved in size 7. I added a small chopped onion that was sauteed in olive oil. 8. I added NO WATER-----it's not necessary. 9. MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT BAKE IN LOAF PAN!!!! Shape the mixture into a loaf and place on a broiler rack!! The liquids will cook AWAY from the loaf, ensuring a nice "crust". This may seem like a LOT of work, but it's not. I buy several pounds of ground turkey and freeze the raw loaves for future meals. I hope this helps!!!
