I have made this Recipe for my 2 kids that have autism and are picky and they empty their plates and ask for more. I also add a little beef bullion to it. Sometimes I don't make the topping because my kids want ketchup. Thank you !!

OH MY GOSH!!! I made this meatloaf. Amazing! It is really good. I did tweak it a little. I put a bit of mushrooms in it. (ick) I did this for my husband. I added 1/2tsp of Dijon Mustard as well, to give a little bit more zing. No salt crackers instead of Oats. I was out of oats Thank You Paula Deen

Ok so I have a hard time making meatloaf for some reason LOL If you change like the oats or the tomatoes do you use the same amount.

I would like to know how long you leave the "Old Fashion Meatloaf" in a crock pot? On high or med? Thank you, Becci

This is the BEST meatloaf I have ever had! I made a few changes... didn't have Oats so I used Italian bread crumbs instead. I placed bacon over the top and it was DELISH! Thank you Paula!

Loved this recipe! I used yellow and orange sweet peppers for the color and flavor and my husband went back for thirds! I have already passed this along to several others, so easy to make and such a lot of flavor. It was the best meatloaf I have ever made or had...will make again and again ![]()

Delicious!!! Best meatloaf I have ever tasted. My husband loved it also, have to double the recipe next time and slice it and freeze, didn't have any left for sandwiches. Paula, you are the best and I love watching you! Love your new cookbook!
