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.

This is so easy and my grandchildren love it. Sent it to my daughter in N.Y. and they are loving it too.

I added a few strips of bacon to the top (underneath the ketchup layer). Not super healthy, but yum! Mine was a little crumbly, but very moist and delicious.

I have been married to my husband for almost four years and he has always expressed his dislike for meatloaf. Well, I made this one night because I figured after all this time I was due some meatloaf. Long story short he loved it!

My husband LOVES this! I add different things every time (what ever veggies I have on hand), but it always comes out great! I always add some thyme, salt and pepper too. I use bbq sauce instead of ketchup...yummy!

My husband LOVED this recipe. He's a big Stove Top fan and when I made this he said "Make this again with enough for sandwiches!"
