I made this two nights ago, and my family raved about it. It was my first time making meat loaf, and I was doubtful that it would turn out ok, but it did. My family want me to make this again this week! Instead of using regular ground beef, I used turkey ground beef. I also reduced the sugar to 2 tablespoons instead of 3. Tasted healthy and yummy!

I have had quite a few variations of meatloaf, but this hands down has the be the best I've ever had. The flavor is incredible, and the sauce on the tops makes it. I have prepared this for friends & family and every person that I have made it for, now has the recipe and makes it at home for their families. It's way too good not to try!!
best meat loaf i've ever had!

i've grown up cooking my meat loaf in a bag in the oven to keep it moist. last night when i realized we were out of oven bags i turned to this recipe. the whole family loved the extreme flavors in this meat loaf and this will replace all previous meat loaf recipes in our house! you gotta try it! i subsituted the tomato sauce for spegatti sauce, it was great!
Variations to try!

I'm newly married and love trying variations on classic recipes to mix things up for my hubby and me. Bobby's recipe is already great, but here are ways (read: substitutions) you can kick it up yet a few notches more (don't worry, you're still staying within that "southern" theme - somewhat): 1) Instead of using 100% beef, use half ground pork and half 15% fat ground beef to keep the meat loaf moist and "together" during molding 2) Substitute Jack Daniel's Spicy Southwest Mustard for the regular mustard called for in the recipe. This gives the meat loaf a subtle-but-there back-heat kick 3) Substitute low sodium beef stock for the water 4) Rather than using regular tomato sauce, try garlic-infused tomato sauce to add even more flavor 5) Serve with dashes of chopped parsley and chunky mashed rose potatos. Enjoy with a fruity, rich Cabernet Sauvignon. Add a chopped fruit salad of juicy red anjou pears, sweet gala apple, bananas, and shredded dried coconut flakes - Mangia! Note: Every oven is different - mine finishes this meat loaf in exactly 1 hour. So watch yours carefully! I also baste mine about once every 15-20 minutes. The variations are simple but add such robust flavors. Enjoy!
Easy and Delicious

This was the best meat loaf I have ever eaten! The Sauce is amazing, I always make a little extra to spoon over the top. I cooked it for my boyfriend, and he liked it so much he made me make it again the next day for dinner. A MUST TRY.
Very tasty recipe!

I really liked this recipe. It was easy to prepare and had a great taste. I substituted 1/2 lb of pork and it made this meatloaf oh so moist. Definitely a "keeper".
Very Tasty

I am not a big meat loaf fan and have never tried to make it at home. However, with a new hubby in my life, I've found that I have to make some changes in my food choices. We had this meatloaf for tonight's dinner. It's definately a very flavorful meal. I added a couple of cloves of garlic and sprinkled some brown sugar on the top of the meat loaf before putting it in the oven. As one reviewer said earlier, it did fall apart. However, it was very good. Next time, I will chop the onion a little smaller and maybe try a little more bread crumb.
Really is the best meatloaf ever

I've made this recipe dozens of times since I found it here a few years ago. It is better than any other meatloaf I've had. It is great as is or w/Italian breadcrumbs, too. Sometimes I use onion powder and it is still awesome.
good loaf!

You know you don't need to make it fancy to make it good. This a simple, traditional meatloaf recipe that I bet you could find in most American family recipe archives. I was looking for something reminiscent of what my Southern grandma used to make, and it was as close as I've gotten yet. Makes good sandwiches, too.

I have never had a meatloaf with so much flavor. I put in too much onion and the loaf kinda fell apart but it tasted great any way. The sauce is BBQ but don't let that turn you off. My Wife is not a big BBQ fan and she loved this dish.

With 3 boys and my husband there are very few leftovers. I had been told to use oatmeal, however it didn't go over well with my family. So had to shop for another recipe. Found this one and tried it. It's so very simple and WOW was it a hit. I'll take all the help I can get since my husband does most of the cooking and is exceptionally well at it. It makes it difficult for the things I cook to be worth comparing but this one did the trick! Thanks

This meat loaf can also be adjusted into low-carb, and is still quite tasty. It's very easy to make, and doesn't last long at my house. Leftovers, if you have any, make great sandwiches!
this meat loaf was excellent

Made the tennessee meatloaf for my grandsons and they loved it. My husband and I liked it, too. Hadn't made meatloaf in years and on a whim looked on foodnetwork for a recipe. I will be doing that more often.
