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 have been making this recipe for over 5 years. It was the first recipe I cooked after my husband and I moved in together! Let's just say he thought I had cooking skills. ;)

I used ground turkey with 7% fat and it was the best meatloaf my family had ever had. They ask for it again and again....

OMG!!!!! This was the best meatloaf I have ever tasted. In the past I have always had problems with making meatloaf just right. The recipe was exactly on point and the meatloaf came out superb....I will so make this meatloaf again.

Best. Meatloaf. Ever. This was superb and wonderfully delicious! I can't believe I've been making anything else my whole life. I could probably eat this every week of my life and never get tired of it. Absolutely fantastic!

The best meatloaf I have ever made. Tweaked the recipe a bit. I used one egg yolk and 2 egg whites, and for the glaze, I used ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, a bit of bbq sauce and a dash of worcestershire and only put it on the meatloaf for the last 15 minutes of baking time. Served with mashed potatoes and mixed steamed veggies - super yummy!

Very easy and delicious. Even better with bell peppers added to it.

I made this recipe tonight for dinner. I liked it forgot the stuffing mix at the store so I subsituted italian breadcrumbs. I don't know if it was because of the different bread but it fell apart really, really easily. I loved the onions sauted in italian seasoning. I will probably make this again for a little healthier version of meatloaf.
