“My mother made this tender, moist meat loaf at least every other week—and always served it with scalloped potatoes. It was one of my favorite meals growing up.” You’ll be amazed by all the flavor from just a handful of pantry ingredients! Helen Lipko - Martinsburg, PA

This was very good, however 30 mins is not nearly long enough. I baked mine for 40 mins (knowing how long my meatloaf usually takes) and then added the ketchup and baked for another 10 mins and it was still nearly raw in the center. Next time I will bake for an hour before adding ketchup and then another 15 mins.

Not a meatloaf fan but this was easy & delicious. Husband & kids agreed! I also had to cook longer than the recipe called for, probably closer to an hour.

This recipe is wonderful! I am a beginner cook and not a very good one so far - but I couldn't mess this one up! I added some diced onions and mushrooms and it came out perfect! Thank you Taste of Home!

This is now the meatloaf that I make all the time. Through the years I've tried MANY different recipes, but I found this is my favorite to make, it's simple and delicious and makes a great leftover for meatloaf sandwiches. I do add a little bit more breadcrumbs and less ketchup because my son does not like ketchup, but other than that, I follow the recipe as stated. Thank you so much for sharing!

This is a great meatloaf recipe and easy to put together with ingredients that are often on the shelf. I used the Panko italian bread crumbs and added a little extra garlic. My family loved it!! Will definitely make again!

I haven't made meatloaf in a long time and stumbled on this recipe. It was a hit and I will definitely be making it again. I will try to make it with ground turkey next time.

My family loved this meat loaf! Even my super picky eater had seconds! It was moist and very flavorful. We will be making this one again!

I only buy the reduced sodium V-8 juice, but I don't know if they have reduced sodium onion soup mix or parmesan cheese but wouldn't hurt to look ... you can also buy reduced sodium ketchup. I will definitely be trying this, but will probably add chopped onion and grated carrot, as we like those in our meatloaf :-)

The onion soup is LOADED with salt as well as the V8 juice. Parm cheese also is salty.

Have a question- this looks healthy as I am on a diet but where does the high sodium content come in? If it is the catsup and topping I could avoid that. Any ideas, anyone?
