This recipe was dilecious my family loved it! I wasn't going to put the oats cause it sounded weired but decided to go ahead... and use all the ingredients it called for! And I'm glad I did it turned out to be a Winner in our home!, the only thing I did different was intstead of making one big loaf I did small loaves so that it would cook quicker and they did! I did have to double up the recipe! And I'm glad I did my brother stopped by unannounced and also loved it!

A FAMILY FAVORITE
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

YUM! Cooked this many times using bread crumbs just because I never have oats. Finally purchased oats because I make this... meatloaf often enough to keep them on hand. Very nice and surprising improvement. I use Rotel diced tomatoes with peppers because my husband and I enjoy the kick it gives. This has become a real "go-to" recipe for me.Read more

The Only Meatloaf I Make
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the best recipe for meatloaf that I have tried. I usually use ground turkey instead of the beef, but either way it... always comes out so delicious and moist, to rave reviews. (I saute the bell pepper for a bit to soften it, so the meatloaf doesn't come out with crunchy peppers). Read more
