Soooo easy! I came across this recipe by accident and thought I would give it a try. I was so yummy!!! We had meatloaf, baked acorn squash, and a big tall salad with a glass of wine. It doesn’t get any better than that.

This is my favorite meatloaf recipe. Whenever I cook it my husband’s eyes light up! I serve it with mashed potatoes, and corn. Perfect meal. It is the only meatloaf recipe I use. Highly recommend. Not hard to make either.

Paula, You’ve helped me solve my portions in this recipe.
But in the video You say 350 degrees and on the printed
version here it says 375 degrees.

Just Being Picky,

I have a friend with cancer who has been longing for meatloaf. I knew Paula would have a good recipe, but I almost always improvise. Here’s what I changed:
Use 1/2 a medium onion, diced
Use 1/2 a large green pepper, diced (choose a four-lobed pepper for sweetness)
Use steel cut quick oats
Use 1/2 a 14.5 ounce can of diced tomatoes, drained

This changes the vegetable to meat ratio some, but doesn’t affect the cooking time.

This works out great, since I made two meat loaves. My friend got a meal AND leftovers!

I have made this so many times it is a favorite for my family I have made a few changes which is also a favorite, I mix 4 oz of tomato sauce mixed with 4 oz of fire roasted tomato’s , then I use a spicy mustard for the topping, this is also a delicious meatloaf

a recipe you can play with put your own spin on it

In reply to Sean. That's fine except that's not what it says. Says 5 minutes at the very top and says nothing about cook time anywhere else so.

Love this recipe! Everyone loves it when I make it! It’s so good as is but it’s also a great recipe to make variations with. I like adding more green+red peppers, more onion, more oats and/or barley flakes. Sometimes I add cayenne or Tabasco to the topping. A bbq sauce is great topping as well

She mispoke in the video because the cookbook recipe states 375 degrees!
