The Best Meatloaf Recipe

Use spicy ketchup

Great recipe. This is now my standard.

Was cleared from all plates in my family minutes after serving, loved!

Really enjoyed this. Easy to follow and delicious!

Amazing. We cut the recipe down to 2 servings but bulked the meat with some finely chopped mushrooms and used a whole egg instead of a half. It made two mini meatloafs and they were fantastic and super moist. The photo is only a quarter of what the 2 serving size made. Used Whataburger spicy ketchup instead of the chili sauce as a substitute. Will definitely be making it again.

Delicious!

Substituted beef for ground turkey; added Mustard, and bbq sauce to the sauce. I also seasoned the meat with onion powder and garlic powder. 10/10

I made 2 changes. 1. I used 1.5#'s of hamburger and 1/2# of bulk pork sausage. 2. Prior to mixing with the meat I removed 1/3 cup of the bread crumbs/egg/milk mixture because it was too much. Turned out to be a good call. I also used jumbo eggs because that's what I buy. I did not use the 2 tbsp ketchup in the meat, I did use 2 tbsp of chili sauce. I cooked it too an internal temp of 160° them let it rest for 10 minutes. It was done perfectly. The meatloaf held together very well and was the perfect amount of moist. However, for me, the flavor profile was a trifle off. Didn't have the meatloaf flavor I'm used too. I will probably use this recipe as my base and just keep tweeking it till I get the flavor I'm looking for.

Very moist and flavorful!

I did the 2x and we have tons of leftovers. It cooked in the middle perfect.

I need to remember to add extra Italian seasoning if using regular breadcrumbs! And don’t be afraid of the salt. Skimping out left out the flavor!

Excellent meatloaf, but I did change a few things. I added a TB of worcestershire, a couple tsp of tamari and a tsp of garlic powder to the meatloaf mix. I also made a glaze with ketchup, a little brown sugar, a little dijon and balsamic vinegar. It was fantastic with these additions!
