CAN NOT believe how incredible this tastes, has the sweetness,has the freshness eating healthy : and DOES NOT have the calories

there were some elements of this recipe that I liked and will incorporate next time, but overall I didn't find it particularly flavourful. It was very moist, and I liked the mix of beef and pork, but it needed more seasoning. I also liked that it was baked in a log instead of a pan, as this cuts the cooking time a good deal. The only change I made was adding a bit of brown sugar and dry mustard to the ketchup glaze. Maybe even some Italian seasoning in the mix would've helped. It didn't wow me.

I would like to pass along this variation.

I have been using rye bread in my meat loaf and it is delish. Also caramelize the onions first and I no ketchup.

I use 2# of ground chuck, skip the onions (because I can't eat them) half of the garlic and 1/2 tsp of sage. The rest is the same. Has been a favorite of our family for 39 yrs.

ONE garlic clove would have been more than enough, yikes! I couldn't even finish eating it. :(

I made it last night for my crew! IT was very tasty and simple to make. It has officially replaced my previous meatloaf recipe of 24 years! Thanks, Martha!

I made this last night and my family LOVED it. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thanks Martha! Will make again!

Made this last night--it was easy and very tasty! Thanks to Jackattackish for the heads-up about the ketchup. Will definitely make again.

This is a great recipe. My family loved it. I left out the ketchup and added instead some homemade spagetti sauce to give it a little punch and the meatloaf was gone in an instant!

I have never made meatloaf before, but I decided to try this recipe for dinner tonight. Unfortunately I didn't read the recipe closely enough, and accidentally put the entire 1/2 cup of ketchup into the meatloaf mixture! I am watching the oven, but do not have high hopes. Word to the wise: read carefully!!

Awesome meatloaf recipe. I would not change a thing. Grating the onion was kind of a pain, but I love the onion flavor without the crunch inside the meatloaf. My family loved it. I will make this recipe again.

What a great and tasty recipe I did nothing to change it. The left over made a delicious sandwich for my husband to take to work.

My family loved this meatloaf. I used extra lean ground beef, whole wheat bread and red onion since that is all I had on hand. It was very tasty. My hubby wondered why I didn't make more. We have a family of 4 and there was only a serving left!. I will make this again.

I'd never actually had meatloaf before, but this recipe really appealed and I'm glad I made it. I used equal amounts of beef and pork, was easier than way, and four slices of bacon on top laid out lengthwise. It was rich and tasted fabulous and was enough for two meals (servings for three). I'll definitely make it again.

Kayceejo, you are so right! The addition of bacon in the middle was fantastic!

Super easy and tasty. Great the next day too.

Very easy recipe to make and I love it. You can always add fresh mozzerella and roasted peppers in the middle...very good too.

Very good...except I substituted BBQ Sauce for Ketchup and layered Bacon on the outside...DELISH!!!

My two young daughters love it. Yummy

My two young daughters love it. Yummy

Sorry is 1/2 cup of ketchup!!!!

Love this recipe..an alternative not as healthy but fast ...meat, 1 package onion soup,2 Tbsp of mayonnaise and 1/2 ketchup

This recipe is wonderful! I used all pork meat since most of my family do not eat beef, and it came out very light and moist!

Excellent recipe... the bread and milk makes the meatloaf stay really moist!

This was so tasty! My family really loves it. I sometimes add 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture before baking and it tastes yummy....

This is the BEST meatloaf, you won't believe how great it tastes!

The crew working this week at the gas plant operators camp in the bush of Northern Alberta (50 miles from the nearest town) were overwhelming in their approval and appreciation of this recipe at supper tonite. I will certainly be making it on a regular basis for them. They LOVED it!

Excellent!

Well l love Meatloaf but oddly enough Ive never tried it this way we use tomatoe saurce, crackers, corn, onion, garlic and egg and a little bit of milk but I will have to try this way!!!

First time ever making meatloaf, can you believe that? Anyhow, it turned out very well. If you are using prepared bread crumbs what is the equivalent to 3 slices of bread? Also, I minced the onions. I was surprised at how garlicky it turned out but nonetheless I was quite proud of it. It was very tasty and FILLING! I loved basting it with the ketchup and the whole free form idea!

I use half bulk Italian sausage and half ground round and subsitute oatmeal for white bread, saves a step and is a little healthier. Also great with Heinz chili sauce in place of ketchup for better flavor.

One of my family's favorite meals is meatloaf, mashed potatoes, carrots and string bean casserole, so I tried this recipe -- a little disappointing. I prefer the consistency of minced onion rather than grated and think one small clove of garlic is enough.

This was okay...I prefer Martha's mother's recipe. It's called "Mrs. Kostyra's Meatloaf". You can find it on Martha's site. I don't make the topping with it, however; I make a brown gravy and serve with mashed potatoes and brown gravy.

I've NEVER cared for meatloaf, but decided to give this one a try, And I love it! I followed the recipe exactly and was very happy with the result. It's very cold here today (minus 7!!) so this will be the perfect supper for this evening -- comfort food!

I never had an official meatloaf recipie so I decided to try this one. My family really loved it, which was great news because they were never big meatloaf fans. I cooked it "freestyle" rather than the pan I always used and like that much better. This is a keeper.

Prepared Classic Meatloaf Wednesday. I added two large carrots and a zucchini, in addition to the half onion, all shredded in the food processor since I hauled it out to crumb the white bread. Otherwise, I followed the recipe. Contrary to other opinions, I am less taken with this meatloafn n n n n n prep was a messy pain, baking was much longer than recommended, and clean up was greasy mess even with the use of parchment to line the baking sheet. In n n n n n d recommend using aluminum foil as also suggested in recipe if you attempt.
I didnn n n n n n t care for the taste, but two male friends both deemed it good enough to polish off the remaining loaf with sides of mashed potatoes and fresh string beans.
The most positive thing I can say is the dish plates beautifully: mashed potatoes as bottom layer, one large slice ketchup topside up in potatoes with another slice halved and placed on either side of standing piece, and green beans encircling meat and potatoes.

I made this basic recipe for dinner tonight with a few fabulous additions: Sauteed finely chopped (in food processor) mushrooms, carrots, zucchini, onions, garlic. Added this to the bread, which I actually subsituted half of with oatmeal. Added a bit of garlic salt, thyme and oregano (dried). MIxed all this with the meat. Instead of ketchup I made BBQ sauce (ketchup with a bit of vinegar and brown sugar). The vegetables really added to the flavour and nutritional content of the meatloaf..

thanks for the additions to the recipes, i am in the uk and it is not something that is widely eaten over here, i dont know why as it is fantastic, my husband pulled his nose up at the idea but loved it once it was cooked!

This is a fabulous reciepe. I have altered it a bit including equal parts of ground beef, ground pork and ground venison. Also adding to the top of the meatloaf lots of sauteed onions. My family loves it this way, as the onions carmalize giving a sweet taste.

I can't wait to try this recipe. My husband and I LOVE meatloaf!!!! thanks.

My nephews love meatloaf and always ask me to make it. To get them to eat more veggies though I like to grate carrots, zucchinni, and potatoes into the meatloaf. I makes it a little heartier and my nephews love it. With this recipe I recommend 2 medium sized potatoes, 1 large zucchinni, and 3 carrots.

Great basic meatloaf recipe--I've made w/ beef and pork (as in the recipe) and also just w/ beef. Great either way. Grating, rather than dicing, the onions is a really smart tip. They seem to melt right in--all of the flavor and none of the texture of semi-cooked onions that plague most meatloaf recipes.
