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.

Oh my word! It was too good! I don't like meatloaf normally, but this really was too good! I left off the ketchup on top and made some cream of mushroom rice to go with it and some gravy...ooohhh it was too good!

My husband and I enjoyed this meatloaf but I used the low sodium Stove Top stuffing mix for Chicken as we have watch our salt intake. I will be serving this meatloaf again.

I brought it for my co-workers and they raved over it also. This will be my favorite meatloaf recipe! I also served it with another great mashed potatoes reciepe from Kraft. It's called Cheesy Smashed Potatoes.

I have a question. Do you add both the stuffing mix and the seasoning or just the mix? My box of stuffing has two packets.

We really enjoyed this recipe. I didn't have the dressing, so I cooked the onions with a little olive oil.I did use less onions. I left off the cheese at the end. The meatloaf came out really well.
