I have made this recipe a few times and the family loves it. Even my wife, who claims to make the best meatloaf says this is better. So I was feeling a little lazy and did not have dice tomatoes, but I had a 10 oz can of Mild Rotel. So poured out the water and compressed the top about half way down to get a little more juice out. Then I deleted the onions and the peppers, since they are already in the Rotel. I followed the rest of the recipe and it came out fantastic. It had a little kick to it too since the Rotel has green chiles in it. My wife says this is the way we are making it from now on. And we are making 2 not just one. Thank you for the original recipe.

what side baking dish should i use? can i use a 9x5x3 loaf pan? or should i shape the loaf on a baking sheet?

sounds good.. Will have to try... I usually top my meatloaf with Campbell' s Tomato Soup..I bake the loaf covered with foil till top of loaf is Brown..then spread on soup.. and I use saltiness crackers rolled out fine instead of oatmeal.. and leave uncovered after I put soup on to form a crust..eggs, onion, salt/pepper... leftovers great with leftover boiled potatoes and onions cut up and fried in butter!
By Kathy Hanson on January 17, 2013
Hi, is this covered with foil the entire baking time?

i am going to try the meat loaf i use to cook good when i had a family now nothing taste right but this sounds great ty very much
By Elizabeth Arlene Denman on January 09, 2013
I make a variation of this, if i do not have oats, i use 1/2 cup rice and add 1 cup milk to the meat or enough tomato sauce & milk to = 1 cup. Along with seasonings and sometimes Parmesan cheese. and i usually top with a ketchup/BBQ sauce mixture. It's always good, either way.

My husband's family has been making this topping recipe for more than 40 years. His mom got it from a Betty Crocker Cookbook. You want to add it 10 mins before the meatloaf is done. We like to make extra sauce so we can add it to our individual servings and to the sandwiches that go in the lunchboxes the next day.

Ihave been making this recipe of Paula's for several years. I substitute a can of Rotel, undrained, instead of the tomatoes. It gives it a little zing and a lot of flavor. The topping is wonderful but I have found it is better if I put it on the last 10 minutes instead of the entire time. Keep your great recipes coming, Paula!!!

If you're not a fan of oats for the filler, try using bulgar wheat instead. A new twist with great flavor.
