Juicy slices of this tender meat loaf are wonderful served with a homemade sweet-and-sour sauce. It's an easy way to fix supper, especially when the weather is too hot to turn on the oven. Plus, cleanup is a breeze because you just toss out the foil pans. -Susan Taul, Birmingham, Alabama

I've been making this recipe for over a year now. I add more brown sugar to the sauce and a little white sugar or splenda and less mustard and vinegar. It is absolutley fantastic! One of our family's favorites!

good grief - don't use the foil pans if you don't want them ending up in someone else's backyard. no need to judge - she's probably "green" in other ways - just like you.

As with any recipe, each family can make whatever adjustments they deem appropriate. I loved it just the way it was and washed out the tins to recycle. I really liked having the two loaves. With just 2 of us, one went in the freezer and leftovers from each loaf made delicious sandwiches the next day.

And when you "just toss out the foil pans," where do you think they are going? To someone else's back yard! Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Wow, sounds good but way TOO much sodium!

Sounds like a good idea, but I would want more flavor, so I would add the usual green peppers, tomatoes and garlic to the above ingredients.

Oats are gluten unless you are using certified gluten free oats!!!

Also, using oats makes the meatloaf gluten-free!!! That's what I always do....no one knows except the gluten-free eater in your life who is SO excited!!!!!!

I use old fashioned oats for my meatloaf in place of bread crumbs, gives fiber and great texture

Needs some fibre!! I think i'll add some bran or oatmeal (just a little) to give it more texture.
