I love making meatloaf for my family. I never tried using oats, though. I
usually use Ritz crackers (secret weapon) I’m going to try this recipe :)

I guess I should construct my own recipe, I do enjoy a good meatloaf with
garlic mash, pan gravy and green beans.
I enjoy the taste of beef, unfortunately with so many meatloaf recipes by
the time you slather them up with ketchup, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire etc.
etc. then coat it with brown sugar the flavour of good lean ground beef is
long gone.
But anyway that is just my opinion ,, it’s to each his own ,,, this is a
nice recipe, thanks for posting, I’m sure many will enjoy this recipe but
it’s not for me.

i think you really have to use your hands if you want a more furm texture
that will hold up well with cutting

I’ve done meatloaf about every way possible. This one is the best ever. The
consistency is perfect and exactly like the video shows, because it’s not
all densely compressed. Yay. tytyty.
