"Since I can't have much salt, I've come up with a recipe for meat loaf that is really tasty without it."—Lillian Wittler, Wayne, Nebraska

Great recipe. Good nutritional value. Didn't change anything about the recipe but did use extra lean beef. Will definitely make again.

Made it for my family. It was super easy to make, and tasted great! I even substituted the beef for ground turkey, it still turned out delicious.
