I reduced it by 2/3 and substitued onion for the red bell pepper. Easy and delicious. I made more sauce than was called for and it was a bit too sweet so next time I'll follow the recipe more closely.

I really liked this meatloaf and it was pretty simple cooking wise just stick it in the oven :-) which is what I like but with lots of flavor. JAG, I just wanted to say that I have a lot of friends that are currently serving in the military and I have had relatives who served in the military and I've seen the changes in all of these people by serving and those comments that were made about your demons since you were at Fort Dix were very inappropriate and just ignore them! Nice save though on doing it the deep fry way!

Wonderful and full of flavor! I followed the baked recipe and it turned out great. You guys Rock! I wish I could say that about Giada and her comment about demons. What an inappropriate statement, as she has not walked in your shoes JAG. We are deeply appreciative of your service to our country and KNOW you are an awesome Chef and Food Network Star by the demonstration of your excellent work and good food! Keep up the good work.

Can anyone tell me how hot the oil in a deep fryer needs to be and how long to fry this meatloaf? This meatloaf will go over wonderfully at our man weekend in the woods where we'll have a deep fryer!

Great meatloaf! My hubby always gets the hiccups from meatloaf but not tonight, we both loved it. Great job on the show, we watch every week. Our daughter is in the Air Force and I'm sure she would have appreciated the home cooked meal. Great save on the deep fryer, even with the broken oven you guys still had the best meal.




Outstanding Meatloaf!

JAG and Paul: Your meatloaf was wonderfully flavorful--definitely one of our most favorite meatloaf recipes ever! Great job--and great save on the deep frying! JAG: Don't worry so much about those demons that Giada told you about. Personally, we think that comment was out of line. We come from a military background ourselves and fully empathize with you and understand the emotions that the Fort Dix challenge could have brought to the surface when you got there. You are awesome (you are too, Paul!) and we support you both down here in Orlando, FL! Be strong!

This meatloaf is awesome! I'm definately adding it to my meatloaf collection, though it's a tad expensive for us to have on a regular basis. (I nenver thought I'd see the day when ground meat was so dear that I couldn't always afford it!) Paul & JAG, you guys were great in the Fort Dix challenge - good save on the meatloaf and good energy. My 12-year-old daughter and I watch this every episode - and we're rooting for you, JAG!!!! You rule, man!
