Makeover - How We Did It

We've made over this traditional entree and cut more than half the fat by using extra-lean ground beef and egg whites instead of whole eggs. As a result, this saves 6g of fat per serving.

How to Safely Prepare a Meatloaf

After shaping a meatl oaf with your hands, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water for at least 20 sec. A quick rinse under the faucet is not enough to kill any harmful bacteria.

My husband doesn't really like meatloaf, I do. I made this but did individual meatloaves, made 6 small ones. He actually said it was good. Also didn't have any Chicken Stove Top Stuffing, but did have cornbread stuffing. It was really good. Made good meatloaf sandwiches the next couple of days for lunch, it's a keeper

I made this without the cheese, and it was excellent! I went ahead and cooked the whole recipe (but split into two loaves) for just the two of us, and my husband has been eating the leftovers any chance he gets! There's still one piece left, and he's already telling me that I should make it again. It was a definite hit in our house!

The meatloaf had a good overall flavor. When mixing, I thought it was a little wet... may cut back a bit on the water next time. It made a very large meatloaf. There was plenty for leftovers and I wrapped some up to freeze for a future dinner. Would make again.

A little salty, but still good.

Absolutely delicious! I made this for my husband and two year old son and they both gobbled it up and wanted second helpings! I tweaked it a little by adding garlic to the onions and dressing. I also added BBQ sauce to the ground beef. I didn't add the cheese in the end because I figured we didn't need the extra calories. It turned out wonderful. Moist and tasty.

Best meat loaf I've had in a while. I used whole eggs since I had no immediate use for the yolks. I mixed the cheese into the meat loaf and then grated more over the top. I will be adding salt and pepper next time though.

I used chili sauce instead of ketchup and no cheese. This was delicious. I'm going to make it with sage Stove Top next time and see how that is.

My family thought it was wonderful! I followed the recipe as written except I used only half the cheese & I mixed it in rather than adding it to the top. Oh, and I did add a small amount of bbq sauce to the top - just wonderful comfort food. Thanks for the great recipe!
