I got this recipe from my Aunt when I was a teen and have made these lip-smacking miniature loaves many times. My husband and three children count this main dish among their favorites. The recipe is also great for company, since it's easily doubled or tripled. —Kathy Bowron, Cocolalla, Idaho

I have made this a few times and we all love it. This time I was out of cheddar so I used velveeta cheese. It was very good.I also added a envelope of onion soup mix and green pepper.

I used ground turkey, added some chopped carrots and minced fresh parsley, and cut back a little on the brown sugar in the sauce. This recipe is super yummy!

This recipe is what my husband and I call "Oh my God Good"! We LOVED it! It was, by far, the best recipe for meatloaf I have ever tried. Just as little FYI, try to use ground beef with the lowest fat content you can find. Otherwise, the splatter and smoke while baking gets a little out of control! LOL!

This is one of my most requested ground beef meals. I usually double the glaze because it is so yummy! I also double the oats so it makes more. Definately doesn't taste like a traditional meatloaf at all. More like an indulgent oval "meatball"! You can't really taste the cheese, it just ads to the richness.

This is the best meatloaf recipe in the world. I love the sauce! I've made this for many of my friends and they all love it, even people who don't usually like meatloaf!

This recipe was not terrible, however I do not care to make it again. The family did not care for the recipe either.

Great recipe! My husband is not a fan of meatloaf but raves about this recipe! i have made it twice in the last month at his request! The only change I made was I added ground pork (1/2 burger, 1/2 ground pork) both times and this last time I added chopped green pepper and carrots. 5 stars all the way!
