Yummy! Being a new wife, I really wanted to make something easy (so I don't stress out), but good...this was perfect! My hubby was so excited & proud of me. He said it was better than his grandmother's he had grown up on!

It was delicious! So easy to make and it got rave reviews from my fiancé who really doesn't like meatloaf. It was a big hit at work too

This meat loaf is so good. The topping was a hit. I will make more sauce next time, maybe double. Great as a sandwich with leftovers.

great recipe, easy to follow. not a fan of green peppers so i left them out. didn't take away from the taste in my opinion. the sauce is great, in fact i had to buy a sauce despenser and make extra for my girls to put on other items. great sauce for burgers, chicken, etc.. love you paula

My husband loved my aunt's meatlof (mine, not so much), but when I made this recipe he thought I'd created a masterpiece!

I did the review on 5/11/09 and it was actually 75% lean beef that was better not 81%. -Amanda R. Williamsburg, VA.

This recipe has been a hit for everyone I have made it for from home to Church. One change I made to it...is instead of plain ole bell peppers... I used the sweet red, orange, and yellow peppers that are put out by a company called Wilson at Sam's Club. We think it just makes it better than good!

This meatloaf was really good, mine usually falls apart but I think this was my best one. I just love the sauce mixture that goes on top.

This is a great Meatloaf recipe. I used 81% lean beef and it was really juicy. I made this recipe twice and I preferred the ground beef with a little more fat. If you like your peppers and onions a little more tender you can saute them a little before adding them to your meat.

My family loves this. However, my usually falls apart. Maybe more oatmeal needs to be added.
