325 degrees 45 Minutes?? No way. More like 325 and 90 minutes to get to 155 internal. Made a mess of the rest of the meal. GRRRRRR

It was okay, but unfortunately I'm still in search for the perfect meatloaf recipe...

Once again, Alton hits it out of the park!! (Rivaling Chipper's batting average, surely ; hubs declared it the best he'd ever had, and I must agree!! Spice is perfect. I did muffin loaves, turned out beautifully.

Only meatloaf recipe I will ever use! I've never been a fan of meatloaf, as it always just tasted like plain cooked ground beef. This meatloaf has it all...texture is great, flavor is definitely there, and extremely moist. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of the sauce...I didn't use quite as much cumin as the recipe called for. As for some people saying its dry...I have no idea how this could be unless you didn't use a meat thermometer and overcooked it. Also, some people complained about the veggies (carrots not being cooked all the way through....I did not have a problem with this at all...although I did follow the recipe and used a food processor to get everything finely chopped. EXCELLENT recipe!

The recipe is excellent. Glaze - perfect combination with the cumin. (Lots of cumin flavor, people!

The cooking time is ridiculous. At 325F cooking temp, my meatloaf was at about 120F internally after 45 min. I shaped it in a meatloaf pan and everything.

Healthy changes I made: used egg replacement product and turkey meat. It turned out great! Perfect balance of flavors. It was easy to make; great weeknight dinner and I put it all together the day before so I could just pop it in the oven.

I am not a big fan of thyme with beef to begin with so I omitted it any way and used an onion hard roll instead of the croûtons. The cooking time and temperature were both low as well.
That being said, this was the tastiest meatloaf that I have ever had. I am not the cook in my house and being an inexperienced cook I tent to over-spice most of my dishes, hence my wife usually does not like my cooking.
This time though she did and even admitted that it was better than hers lol

I made this recipe. Instead of using the croutons, I used 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Instead of the cayenne pepper, I used 1 teaspoon of paprika. No chilli powder. Instead I used 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric. Instead of the onion, I used 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder. I used a small edge of red bell pepper sliced real small. No carrots. All ground beef. 1/4 teaspoon of Morton Season-All seasoned salt. I used half of a 8oz. can of tomato sauce and Heinz Tomato Ketchup to make alittle over a half of cup of sauce to mix with the ground beef and the other ingredients. I also added 1 stalk of celery cut-up. For the glaze: I added the rest of the tomato sauce from the can and ketchup to make the 1/2 cup. I added 1/2 teaspoon of ground turmeric. Instead of using the hot pepper sauce, I used 1/2 teaspoon of paprika. My daughter said that it was so good. She doesn't like onions in her food, so I use onion powder instead.

This is true comfort food at it's best! It is the perfect recipe in every way, It tasted great and was easy and quick to prepare. The only thing that I did different, I doubled the sauce for the top of the meatloaf. I am not much of a fan of meatloaf, but I am now after trying out this recipe. It is a keeper.

The negative reviews are pretty interesting. If you think it's going to be too spicy, then modify it. Recipes aren't so strict that you have to follow it verbatim, you can change it to your personal tastes. That's what we did. I'm a weakling when it comes to spices, so we scaled back on the hotter stuff and amped up the herby flavours. It was very good, even though we don't own a food processor or a probe! We found that at 175'C on our fan-assisted oven, it took around an hour to cook. We also didn't have a loaf tin, so we hand-formed it in aluminium foil.

One suggestion, double the glaze. I really enjoyed it and was nearly licking the plate for it! The meatloaf itself was a tad on the dry side (probably due to overcooking, but it wasn't horrible. It makes great leftovers, and really goes against the traditional thought that meatloaf is disgusting.

Oh, and when we had to throw everything away (little leftover bits on the plate, in the pan, the fats, etc. it smelt of cat food.
