I make this recipe all the time cause I do not like using the seasoned packets! I have had no problems with it falling apart or any of the what other people have rated bad. If it does fall apart try using 2 eggs instead of one, or larger eggs. And use the eggs that are at room temp. I do not use bell peppers cause my husband doesnt like bell peppers so I just shread carrots and it tastes just as fine! : and I use unsalted diced tomatoes from the can. My husband LOVES this recipe! you can use this recipe however you like. Like I added shredded carrots you can use other vegetables! and the oats are great! I dont taste the oats, maybe you are using the wrong kind of oats with flavor? I used just regular non flavored oats that you can bake with.

This was wonderful! I used red & yellow peppers since that's what I had on hand. Normally I depend on a combination of LOTS of herbs & spices. In this case less is more. Thanks Paula

I usually don't find the recipes that Paula Deen makes very enticing, but I was in the mood for meatloaf and didn't have a lot of time. So I tried this recipe since it seemed quick and easy. Boy was I disappointed and regret not putting in the time to make another recipe from another chef. The sauce was way to sweet for my taste instead of tomato-y, so either half of brown sugar or much less of the sauce can be used. I expected the oats and juice from the canned tomatoes would give the meatloaf most of its moisture, but it was way too mushy for what I'm used to and wanted. When slicing and serving, the meatloaf just fell apart and looked like a pile of mushy hash rather than meatloaf. And I could taste the oats more than the beef. Even if you add more beef or use less oats, flavor was just meh.

I love this recipe! Instead beef I use ground turkey and instead of ketchup, I use tomato soup. My family loves this recipe, even my 2 yr. old wants more each time.

This meatloaf recipe is the bomb! I have made it three times now and it turned out perfect every time. I omit the green peppers because I use the canned diced tomato' s with green chili's to give it just a little more kick. Thank you Paula!!!

Wow..This meatloaf was the best meatloaf I ever had!!! I altered the ingredients a little. Instead of using oats I used bread crumbs. I think I used a little bit to much black pepper, but over than that it was great!! Very easy to make. I made mashed potatoes and string beans with leftover mac and cheese.

The meatloaf tasted good, but it did not set at all. Both my kids and my husband and, yes, myself, were very disappointed considering the great reviews. I cooked it for longer than it said and it just would set. It was like slop on a plate. If you closed your eyes and tasted it, it was tasty, but the texture was totally unappealing. I double checked the recipe on the measurements and I did mix it correctly. Sorry, I will have to take a pass.
