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.

It was wonderful. I did substitute the chicken stuffing for croutons.

I've made about 20 different meat loaf recipes in the last year and this one is in the top 3! Very tasty!

I've made this meatloaf many times, love kraft recipes! My hubby isn't one for meatloaf and he loves this recipe, it stays so juicy.

This is a very simple and tasty recipe. However, the first time I made it, it took twice as long in the oven as it said it would. Now I allow longer for it to be done and cut the recipe in half.

This meatloaf is Fantastic! My husband who is a picky eater Loved it, along with my kids 14 & 3 years of age. This is the only meatloaf I make in my household even though I have meatloaf recipes handed down from generation to generation. Love it!! I think your family will too

Great recipe, I loved it as did my picky husband and kids but I did make a few changes like I used turkey instead of beef, and I used whole eggs in place of the egg whites. Oh also I added a bit of bbq sauce to the ketchup and it gave it such a nice sweet flavor with a kick. For sides I made some of the box butter & herb mashed potatoes and microwave a bag of frozen veggies. It was delicious, satisfying, and best of all simple to make.

I have been making meatloaf for more years than I care to admit and this is by far the best recipe I have found. My 19yr old son and his friends went crazy for it. I used 80% ground beef and whole eggs, it was so moist with a great browned bottom. Fast and easy. Definitly a keeper! Too bad there was none left for sandwiches.

I hate meatload and my boyfriend loves meatloaf but hates stove top stuffing. I read other reviews and made sure to chop up the stuffing. I actually loved this and so did my boyfriend. He was shocked that it had stove top in it. I will make this again and again. He said it was as good as his mom's meatloaf!

My family really enjoyed this reciepe. I replaced the hamburger for Turkey (93/7) and came out perfect. I also make my meatloaf in cupcake pans so they are in single serving sized instead of a loaf. It makes 18 mini loaves and only took 25-30 minutes to bake.
