I wanted something different to add to our menu (being from the UK, meatloaf was not a typical food we ate, nor was it in my Books in culinary art school)
All I can say is “WOW” !! – my family LOVED it, and I surprised myself by liking it too – I have used Ree’s recipes before, and we especially like the Lasagna recipe, but meatloaf is right up there now as a staple for the winter!
Thanks for being so down to earth, Ree !

After reading other comments I decided to split it into 2 loaves & was sure to make it flat like you did on your show. Turned out perfect in the time you listed.. Definitely a keeper!

The ONLY changes I made was increase both salts and add a medium diced onion. I even used my broiler pan for the first time just for this! It took quite a bit longer for mine to come to temperature (close to 90 minutes) … but maybe I need to find my oven thermometer … I’m certainly not going to blame the onion. Next time I make it I will freeze half of it simply because it can feed an army. Best meatloaf sandwiches the next day too. Thank you!

Super easy, delicious, no fail recipe! My husband took one bite and said, this is really good!

I agree with other reviewers on doubling the sauce – if you’re serving this to more than 3 people, the remaining 1/3 of sauce for dipping is not going to be enough. Thank you for this recipe!

The Parmesan cheese gave a strange flavor to the meat loaf. It was a “eat what’s on your plate” moment with lots leftover. Had to bake the meatloaf longer than the 1 hour suggested in the recipe. Will stick with my recipe that has the family going back for seconds.

It now our “go-to” meatloaf recipe. Very easy and delicious. I think the parmesan is what gives it the flavor. We do put the bacon on top because I think it adds to the overall meatloaf but I do tend to pull it off because it gets a little mushy and I am not a mushy bacon person. Great though and I do make this often!

My husband is a big meatloaf lover and he loved it too! The ketchup gravy/glaze gives it that special something and the bacon gives it such a good flavor. The bacon, however will tint the beef on top pink so it doesn’t look done but we just used a meat thermometer to make sure it reached proper temperature. Great recipe!

I’m guessing it’s the milk and bread, but it definitely made the texture kind of mushy. Also, I think the parmesan and maybe parsley gave this meatloaf a tangy flavor that wasn’t super. I like the idea of the bacon, but even though I had thin bacon, it did not crisp up at all, I was left with “wobbly” bacon. I did really like the ketchup sauce. I think I’ll be sticking to my usual meatloaf recipe, but use the sauce. :)
