     This Recipe ROCKED! It was a total family pleaser and that is VERY important in my house hold.
    One ? How big/much is 1 serving? - 5/30/09

    I usually use a 9X9 pan to bake it in and cut into 9 portions, so the serving is set up for 9 per dish, which is about 2.6 oz/serving when using a pound and a half of meat. Thanks for the great reviews!

     This is what we make, minus the green & black peppers. We also use plain bread crumbs to avoid the sodium--tastes great! - 2/20/10

    I haven't thought of trying it with bread crumbs. That would help cut more salt, especially if I use my bread and not DH's :-) Thanks for the idea.

     It had a nice flavor. Mine turned out a bit soft, but that could be because I substituted flax for one of the eggs, and included about one cup of shredded zucchini that had been frozen. - 2/8/11

    I imagine it was good with zucchini. Never thought of that. I've never used flax seed. Hum. May cut down on some of the ketchup or sauce. The zucchini will add moisture.

     There is so much sodium that I'm going to try this without adding salt since the saltines have quite a bit as does mustard. I'll let you know how it tastes. Looks yummy! - 2/19/10

    It is still good done that way. I have learned to skip the salt, especially when using tomato products. They add plenty without me helping them. Thanks for trying it. Enjoy!

     Now this is the meatloaf recipe I grew up with! Saltine crackers as opposed to bread crumbs or oats is the only way to go, in my book. I must say that I'm not accustomed to making a sauce - we just always had it plain or with ketchup, but I might try it. Also, this loaf is soooo good the next day - 12/7/09

     This sounds good....I don't see the grams of sugar in the nutritional information. Do you know what that is? - 1/28/14

     very good - 10/9/12

     This one is a keeper. We all enjoyed this recipe very much. I did add some chopped fresh garlic to go with the onion. It was great. - 2/16/12

     I made this and everyone like it. It is not as heavy as regular meatloaf. - 1/24/12
  • CLAIREPOTTER
     I make this, but instead of mustard and brown sugar in the sauce, I use balsamic vinegar and honey with a dash of ground cumin and hot sauce. I also add a red bell pepper and a carrot to the loaf. My husband has never really liked meatloaf, but this is a hit everytime - he actually requests it! - 12/7/11

     Great recipe, and we have leftovers too. The calories are reasonable. I used this to make a 'luncheon' meatloaf with mashed potatoes and romano cheese on top. - 10/31/11

     Everyone liked!! Delicious and easy to make. - 10/8/11

     Made this last night it was delicious. Baked it in a rectangle stone bar pan. Cut into squares for sandwiches. Yummy! - 5/21/11

     Tried this recipe last night without added salt and without the glaze to save on calories. It tasted good but next time, I will use extra lean ground beef and less crackers. Will try again. - 1/9/11

     Being in Australia I had to change it a little. My daughter who screwed her nose up everytime I mentioned having meat loaf for tea ate more of it than anyone else. We will definetly be having this again. - 5/29/10

    Cool deal. Thanks for sharing. I have friends in Australia. Peter and Marcia Mason. They were missionaries to the american Indians by Denver CO for many years. Hoping to get out there to see them one day.

  • HOPE2BE
     you're right I like green peppers in mine too. Great for leftovers - 2/20/10
  • JADERUNNING
     Making this right now ... I think maybe 1 cup of ketcup might be too much? Had to add a whole pack of crackers to it - maybe I will just skip the sauce instead of adding more ketchup - will let you know how it turns out- thanks so much! - 12/6/09
  • WYOBABYFACE
     This is the same recipe my mom made and I make, it has always been a family favorite and perfect with a baked potato :) - 11/9/09
  • CARRIEDUVALL
     trying this right now. I'm doubling the recipe, though and including 1 lb of lean ground turkey. I was out of regular mustard, so I used dijon. I also added vinegar to the sauce - makes it a little more like my mom's :D Thanks so much for writing out this recipe! Looking forward to tasting it! - 10/27/09

     VERY Good! (I made about 3+ lbs of meat) I also added 1 cup of cheese to the meatloaf. I increased the sugar to about 1/3 cup, not exactly the healthiest addition but...it was really good hehe
    I will definetly make this again - 8/5/09
