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.

I made this the only thing I left out was the salad dressing and cheese. My family loved it & instead of the chicken stuffing I use herb stove top... it tasted wonderful

This was a hit with my family served with buttered parsley potatoes and corn. Will add to my meatloaf recipe collection!

Loved this recipe, although I made a few changes. I used 1lb ground beef and 1lb ground turkey. I also added an envelope of meat loaf seasoning. We have a grandson who can be hard to please and he ate three helpings. Thanks for the recipe

Added green peppers to the onions. Used more ketchup, but none on the top. No cheese either. I put the mixture in muffin tins to cup down on cooking time. My husband said it was the best meatloaf ever. We could not get over how moist the meatloaf was.

Instead of using the ketchup, I added tomato sauce and omitted the eggs and water. I have tried several different brands of stuffing and Stove Top is the only one to give a really good flavor and keep the moistness.
