This was really good! I ditched the garlic powder and used lipton onion soup mix instead for extra flavor. Came out terrific! My two year old had seconds!

Great recipe...however I did use ground turkey in place of the ground beef which went very well with the pineapple flavor. I also doubled the sauce and added some to the ground meat mixture to moisten it up. I think I will try it with crushed pineapple next time to cut back on some of the sugar. Served it with corn and sweet potato wedges for a healthier yet still incredibly tasty version of meatloaf and potatos!

LOVE this recipe! Doubled everything and, as others suggested, used crushed pineapple in place of preserves. Delicious!

This was absolutely DELICIOUS! My family, who hates meatloaf, loved it. However, I couldn't find pineapple preserves so I used pineapple ice cream topping and it worked just as well. Thank you for sharing this recipe, I will definately be making this again.

I agree with one reviewer who said this deserves 6 stars. It has become THE favorite meal in our house. It doesn't need any alterations - just throw it all together and bake. Awesome!

What a great way to get kids to eat their meatloaf! This dish tastes just like sweet and sour meatballs, without all the time and mess. I have found that adding a chopped onion, a dash or two of worchestershire sauce, garlic salt and subbing with italian style breadcrumbs makes for a more savory meat to pair with the sweeter sauce. (For a more tangy sauce, I add prepared brown mustard to taste.) I always double the glaze, and like to DRAIN the meatloaf before glazing, to ensure that the glaze doesnt get diluted in the loafs cooking juices. Served with rice, steamed carrots and salad, and I never have leftovers.

Very good. My first attempt at meatloaf. Had to use pineapple+apricot preserves, as that is all I could find here. The sweet/tangy-ness of it was a nice touch, and far better than meatloaf we tend to pick up at the store. I was on the 50 minute side of things to ensure it was fully cooked.

Wow this recipe was awesome. I used apricot pineapple preserves (bought at Wal-Mart)which turned out great. I used extra lean ground beef because I really did not want all the fat. My mother in law (tiny person) had two huge pieces, which really surprised us. She loved it. My husband wants me to make this more often. Next time I will double the sauce as it was so good eating it with the meat. I have passed this recipe on to many friends and family. Thanks again. This is a 5 star rating for us.

This is such a quick & easy recipe - and a definite keeper. Only made a couple small changes to the original recipe: I substituted ground turkey (as healthier alternative to ground beef) and added a handful of chopped onions to the loaf. Baked for 25 minutes, then added the sauce & baked for another 20 minutes. Had to use apricot/pineapple preserves since I couldn't find just pineapple preserves. And, based on some other commets, I doubled the sauce - and so glad I did. I've been on the search for the perfect meatloaf recipe & this is a definite contender. My boyfriend said this is the best yet!

This is delicious meatloaf! I pureed fresh pineapple instead of the preserves and I also used half of the amount of brown sugar called for. It turned out great and it was so easy!

Only change was to use apricot preserves (jam) instead of pineapple (couldn't find it). Easy to make and oh so flavorful. Great dish! Love the saucing on it. Made individual miniature loaves.

Delicious!!! used crushed pineapple instead of preserves. Baked 30 min then put on sauce and did another 20 min. Only thing I'll change next time is make more sauce to serve some on the side. My 3 year old ate 2 whole slices and even my non-meatloaf loving husband enjoyed it!

I must agree with the other comments. This dish was definitely excellent. As my family size is big, I had to double the recipe. I did use the Crushed pineapples and scaled back on the brown sugar. Perfect...simply delightful. Thanks for sharing.

I didn't change anything about the recipe except I doubled it, shaped the meat into a loaf and baked in a rectangular baking dish. Our whole family thought the meatloaf was amazing. My husband made meatloaf sandwiches for the following two days and raved about it how good it was. The glaze was the perfect amount of sweetness. I am so glad to have finally found a meatloaf recipe that I like. I think this would also make a good recipe for a meatball appetizer dish.
