This is the only meatloaf I make! My family loves it; my teenager asked me to make it for Thanksgiving dinner! Wonderful recipe!

From someone who was never a big fan of meatloaf, I love this recipe! Also, my husband and two kids love it and request it all the time. When do kids crave meatloaf? Not mine until I tried this recipe. I normally add some of the sauce to the meatloaf so the sweet flavor is throughout. Just don't add too much or it won't hold together. Trust me on this one, once you try this meatloaf recipe, you'll never make meatloaf any other way!

This was very good, although I guess you could say I didn't follow the recipe. I accidentally grabbed a can of tomato paste (yes, a large can), so I ended up mixing some of that with tomato soup for the sauce. It was very good, although I will have to make it again following the recipe. I also baked it in an 8" square pan...more crust, definitely cooked. It was still VERY moist.

Every time I ask my kids what they want for dinner, it's meatloaf, this one. They love it. It's easy and always turns our perfect.

This is pretty good. I use cider vinegar instead of regular vinegar. I once made the mistake of trying to blend together the remaining meatloaf ingredients while the hamburger was defrosting in the microwave. Didn't turn out too well!

I'm a novice cook, and I've had rather limited success with the recipes I've tried, but this one was a hit! The only changes I made were to double the pepper and onion, add a little garlic powder, and I used half the recommended amount of white sugar for the sauce.

I thought this recipe was GREAT! My husband on the other hand thought it was way to sweet! I will compromise with him next time I make this and make the sauce less sweet. (I'll make this sauce for me on the side, ;-))

Delicious! Double the sauce and leave half of it so that people can pour it over their portions at the table.

This was sooo good. I was at a loss for dinner one night and found this recipe. I had everything I needed right in my pantry. My family LOVED it, my son, who is quite finicky, wants it again and again. I think the sauce for this would be delicious on pork chops and grilled chicken too. Thank you!!

WOW! I would give this recipe a 10 if I could. My husband & son-in-law raved about it. It is the best meatloaf I've ever eaten & it makes wonderful sandwiches if there are any leftovers. I used Italian seasoned bread crumbs because that's what I had on hand & I think that added a lot of flavor. But I omitted the salt because of the extra salt in the bread crumbs. I also used freshly chopped onions instead of dried. I doubled the gravy recipe to ladle over the meat & potatoes. This will definitely be showing up on my dinner table at least one a month.

My family loves this meatloaf.

It was incredibly moist and a nice change from the usual repetoire. Initially, I put the meat in a meatloaf pan and the quantity of meat did not fit - the pan was too small. So as someone suggested, I transfered the meat to a large casserole dish and it was great! Hubby and 1 picky child loved it.

Thanks to whomever said to add the 1/2 packet of onion soup mix that made the meatloaf full of flavor. The meatloaf is great and moist but blah on the sauce. It is tooooooo sweet! I felt like I was eating sugar. I like a sweet and sour flavor but that too me was more sweet. I did eventually end up doctoring it up to make it more edible but next time I think I'll make this meatloaf with the onion soup packet (oh and I used real onions) and just leave off the sauce. I'd rather have the ketchup flavored sauces myself. All in all I'd give it a 4 because the main part of the meal was great! Skip the sauce or cut back on the sugar maybe???

To pack in some nutrition and add flavor and moisture, this is what I do: Use 1/2 lb lean ground beef and 1/2 lb ground pork (Yes that's only 1 lb meat total). Instead of using dried minced onion, add chopped 1/2 medium-large onion. Add 1 cup finely chopped carrots and at least 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach, and follow recipe as directed. I use a mini-prep electric chopper so the additional prep is simple and fast. The extra veggies actually mellow out the sweet and sour flavor. I never use a loaf pan, but instead I use a 9x13 baking dish and shape it into a loaf about 1 1/2" high. This is excellent over white rice. My whole family, including a very picky toddler, loves this.

This is my second time making this meatloaf.Second time around I made a small change. I used an 8oz can of tomato sauce instead of the 15 oz.1/2 went into the meatloaf and 1/2 went to the sauce.I added maybe an 1/8 of a cup of kethcup in my meatloaf and in the sauce as well. Used about 1/4 cup of fresh minced onion.The ground beef i used only had 4% fat in it so i was really worried it would end up dry.because i added fresh onions and all that ketchup my meatloaf ended up so moist,flavorful and DELICIOUS! I added 3-4 tbs.brown sugar to the sauce and did not add the white. I will continue to make this meatloaf with my alterations. The sauce is great by the way.

I love making this meatloaf. It is so easy and makes great lunches for my husband who is a teacher. A tip for blending ground beef so that it doesn't end us solid as a rock: use a pastry blender to mix ingredients. It incorporates air into the mix. I use the pastry blender to make hamburgers as well. I prefer to use ground sirloin for this one, and always line my pan with aluminum foil to save on cleanup.
