Just copied down your Choc. sour cream lb. cake. Thank you! Was dismayed at media reaction when your diabetes was made known; any mama knows the recipes that start with "one lb. butter" are not for everyday, but are for special occasions and are served, hopefully, in less-than-large helpings. Love your web site, your recipes, and your lovely Southern ways and manners. Your "Company's Comin' " recipes are usually do-able, taste great and look pretty. Thanks from all of us who needed that bit of inspiration. OldPolly

This was terrible. I've been cooking Paula's receipes for years, but this one is no good. No taste and the oats were tough. You can do better Paula.

Delicious and moist. I substituted pan sausage for half of the ground beef, at my husband's request. Really good!

My family loves meatloaf, but I have always had to make 2 separate meatloaves because my son has autism and could not have the breadcrumbs that I would normally put in it. When I saw you using the oats I was so happy I could finally make one meatloaf for the whole family to enjoy and they all love it!

After following this recipe carefully, I found the flavor very good but it was a disaster getting it out of the pan. It all crumbled into a thousand pieces. Maybe more oatmeal is needed.

Absolutley love this meatloaf!!! I'm not a huge meatloaf fan, but I am now!!! Its rich with flavor and is so juicy that it falls apart in the pan. Even my picky husband who has always made meatloaf from a season packet said he will never buy seasoning packets again.

Hate to say it, but I did not like this meatloaf at all! This is probably the only PD recipe I have tried that I didn't like. It was way too tomato-y, and way too salty. To make matters worse, it crumbled into a heap when I tried to slice it. I followed the recipe to the letter. Will not be making this again.

deeee-lish! easy and my hubby loved. ... i substituted ground turkey for ground beef, added a lil fresh garlic and used the un-salted tomato paste. other than that, would not change a thing! it was very moist and flavorful! loved the oatmeal and peppers on the top.
