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 family just loved this meatloaf. The stuffing mix keeps the meat very moist, I even made sandwhiches the next day for lunch with the leftovers. YUMMY!

I messed up when I bought the stuff to make this and instead of getting stove top, I got shake-n-bake, it ended up turning out great!! I also used BBQ instead of ketchup. I will be making it this way again!!!

This was a quick and easy recipe. I added a little more water and ketsup as advised by other reviewers and it turned out very moist. I would make this again!

My family loved this recipe. I was in a hurry so I made into burgers using ground turkey breast. I will make this again.

I probably did something wrong to it. I had to cook it longer and I felt it needed more salt or ketchup. I probably didn't meassured the ingredients correctly since I had to make it for a larger family. But I will definitely make it again and hope it comes out a bit better:)

I served this dish and my family was furious! They preferred my personal meatloaf recipe to this one. I had to promise them to never make this again! I have to admit, it didn't taste as good as I thought it would.

Excellent flavor but a little bit dry. Will add either a little more ketchup or water the next time I make it -- and I will make it again.

This is the best recipe I have found for meatloaf. Very moist and delicious! I halved the recipe, added in carrots, and used BBQ sauce instead of Ketchup. The onions made it very flavorful!
