Excellent and family approved! Used 2 lbs of extra lean ground chicken instead of the beef/turkey combo, red onion, and made my own buttermilk ranch dressing mix... Dry Buttermilk Ranch Mix from Scotdog! Used reduced fat cheddar cheese, and all of the other ingredients except the egg....felt it was not necessary since the mixture is very moist, also used whole wheat crumbs. Just delicious! Served with grilled asparagus! Thanks~

Just made this for the second time. Last time, I added more veggies than called for. This time I followed the recipe exactly. Both were outstanding. Thanks for a great recipe!

This was soooooo good! The kids (ages 9 and 11) loved it! I ADVERTISE to the kids that in my meals there are hidden veggies and can they identify them? They could not! P.S. we all wanted more of the ketchup/steak sauce blend! Double that for sure. Thanks for the recipe!

Zucchini Ranch Meatloaf Haiku: "Halved with all ground beef, but used everything the same. Super-moist and nice." So I made a 1-lb'er w/ all ground beef, and kept everything else as written. We couldn't taste either the ranch or the cheddar cheese, so really, what we liked best about this meatloaf was the addition of the grated zucchini, which made it moist, and hey, can't complain about the addition of anything green to what I eat. I also liked the ketchup/steak sauce on top; dragging a bite through sriracha sauce gave it a nice sweet/spicy taste, so all-in-all, it was meatloaf success.

Outstanding meatloaf recipe! I would have never thought of adding shredded zucchini to meatloaf and it adds a wonderful healthy moistness. I did not even use sauce on top and still loved it. I will definitely make again when making meatloaf, thanks for sharing! Tip: you can now buy seasoned ground turkey in the store which is delicious in this recipe- cut back on salt and other seasonings.

This is now my Go To recipe for meatloaf. I don't know what it is, I think the ranch powder clinches it.

LOVE this recipe. I've made it with and without the ranch packet and can't taste the difference. And while the name is zucchini ranch meatloaf, both of those flavors are really mild. Instead it ends up tasting more like the steak sauce you put over it. It turns out really moist and pairs great with baked potatoes and a green salad. Everyone I make it for (including those who aren't meatloaf fans) LOVE it. This one is a keeper.

I am not a meatloaf person, but I am with this! Definitely the best meatloaf I've ever had. Hubby loved it too and NO ONE complained about the veges (I'm sure they didn't realize what they were, of course, but still, I'm pleased.) Great flavor---not too "meaty" flavored. I'm a fan.
