    Add 2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce and place a small pan of water next to the meatloaf in the oven. Use breadcrumbs instead of oats. Add red bell pepper chopping finely and then drain the tomatoes too.

    Really tasty. Easy to make. Used three meats Veal, Beef, and Pork. Turned out super moist. Next time will try with beef only. The topping kept the meat real moist. Definitely a keeper.

    Made it for a southern style dinner and it was a big hit! My mother even said it was better than her own. I did make by minor changes to the recipe. I substituted breadcrumbs for the oats, added garlic and after making the topping I also added some sweet baby rays BBQ sauce. While in the oven I placed some water next to the meatloaf to keep it moist.
    The dish has already been requested for another night

    Loved how simple this recipe was to make. After just 10 minutes of it being in the oven, my entire house filled with a mouthwatering & savory aroma. I read some reviews that said this meatloaf was a little on the bland side. So instead of regular diced tomatoes, I bought the can that has the basil, garlic, and oregano mixed in. The end result was completely delicious, and everyone in my family loved it. LOTS of flavor and the slightly sweet topping was the "icing on the cake". Thank you Paula!

    This is the BEST meatloaf recipe out there. My younger brother has always hated meatloaf until he tried this one...now he always wants me to make it..instead of the tomatoes I use ketup..because I do not like the texture of tomatoes...I always double this for leftovers...

    This recipe turned out great. I used ground turkey, bread crumbs and cut up a tomato and some onion. It was so easy and tasty, the meatloaf was moist and stayed together. Thanks Paula, I'll make this again :

    This meatloaf was sooooooo good! I don't usually try to cook meatloaf because it comes out dry & bland but this was quite the opposite! I like my food to be well seasoned so I added garlic & onion powder, and steak seasoning. I also used flax seed & breadcrumbs instead of the oats. The topping was so perfect! I'll definitely be making this one again!

    I've tried this recipe twice, both times sticking to the measurements precisely. The first time, it came out perfect. The second time, it tasted great but was very soggy. I still give it five stars for taste. My husband doesn't want his mother to find out that he's finally eating meatloaf after complaining about hers for his entire childhood :oP

    Amazing! I skipped the green peppers and it was just fantastic. A little wet but so freaking tasty. I will gladly make this again.
