My daughter who's 11 hated meatloaf until I found this recipe. Now she LOVES it and requests it. I use the diced tomatoes that have mild green chiles in them to kick up the flavor a bit, and do add a little juice to keep the loaf moist. Love the recipe, love Paula!

My father is 82 years old and now that I use this recipe he now asked for meatloaf. I have to double the topping because a little on the side is so good. I also add bacon on top of the meatloaf then the sauce more sauce.

For those who don't like green peppers, use the yellow bell peppers. They are much sweeter. Green peppers are just that....GREEN! We LOVE this recipe! I've tried several, but this is the best!

Awesome! This is the exact recipe my gramma taught me to make. Sometimes she'd put bacon on top as a treat. Brings back memories every time I make it. Thanks Paula, for all the great recipes that taste like my granny-gramma's.

I have made this recipe 4 times now, and both ways with plain ground beef, and with ground beef,pork,veal. I even shared recipe with my boss's wife and co-workers and they thought it was the Best meatloaf ever! Your girlfriend from South Jersey!

This is truly the best meatloaf I have EVER cooked!! I improvised a little and used 1/2 lb ground turkey and 1/2 lb ground beef. It was absolutely delicious...and so easy to prepare. Thanks Paula!

This is just the very best. It is old fashioned, but fresh -- hard to explain. I used Paula's TV tip of placing pieces of white bread in the baking dish to soak up the juices. It was perfect!

I love the recipe, however, instead of using ground beef, I use ground turkey! Bell peppers don't like me so I leave them out. This is a can't miss good recipe for either ground beef or ground turkey! Thanks Paula!

This is a must for any new wife or new cook. I fed this to my husband who grew up on his mamma and grandma's southern cooking and he hated to admit it was better than theirs. It is so easy and has turned out perfect every time I make it. I love a Paula Deen recipie

Loved this recipe. Never made meatloaf before. It was so easy and so good. The sauce was awesome. I always make extra.

Submitted on July 7, 2009

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

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

Submitted on July 7, 2009

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!

Submitted on June 6, 2009

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.

Submitted on May 5, 2009

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.

Submitted on May 5, 2009

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