I'm going to make a meatloaf tomorrow and wanted to know how each of you make your meatloaf.

How I generally make mine: 93/7 lean ground beef, oatmeal, Worcestershire sauce (just a little), ketchup, onion & peppers diced, egg, salt and pepper.

    Mine is super easy...one pound lean ground beef (93/7), 1/2 cup salsa, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and one egg. Mix all together, put into an 8x8 pan and bake at 350 for one hour. Makes about 9 servings, roughly about 120 calories each! I love it!

    I use to make mine with ground beef but changed in the last few months to ground turkey and make it into muffins. Low carb, low fat, and low calorie. yum yum yum.

    OMG ~ I have a crazy way to make meatloaf thanks to my mother's recipe. I mix the ground meat with egg and breadcrumbs which is pretty basic. I then form it into a meatloaf shape in a pan that is slightly larger so there is room around the meatloaf. I form like an oblong cavity within the meatloaf and put in pieces of lo fat cheese (quite a bit) and then form the meatloaf around that. I then top it with jarred salsa (the healthiest I can find). Bake at 350 for about 1 hour or so and the cheese oozes out and the salsa gives it a little kick. I but the cabot lo fat cheese brick. It kind of tastes like a cheeseburger. Yummy!!!!!!!!!!

    I use ground turkey, season it like I would tacos (usually just packaged seasoning), use chopped up tortilla instead of crackers or oatmeal

    put 2/3 of the meat mixture in the pan and make a dip in the middle
    fill the dip with fresh avocado slices and cheese
    cover with remaining meat
    bake and serve with pico de gallo

    sorry I don't have any exact measurements, I don't usually use recipes...just throw stuff together lol

    I make mine with ground beef, 1 egg, a cup of water (or broth, depending on the next ingredient), a packet of onion soup mix (or just some dry minced onion, in which case I use the broth instead of water), some parsley and random spices, and oatmeal. If I have baby spinach, celery, and/or carrots, I'll chop them finely and put them in. I never put any kind of ketchup or tomato in it because I don't like it.

    I use old fashioned oats as the stretcher. Adds fiber, tastes great! :) So 1.5 - 2 lbs either 93/7 ground beef or ground turkey (it really is good), two handfuls of oats, a couple of eggs, a squirt of reduced sugar ketchup, salt, onion powder (or chopped onions depending on who's eating it w/me) and pepper. Bake in a round cake pan for a little over an hour @ 350 (not doing it in a loaf pan saves time, as does making individual "loaves" in a muffin tin).

    CEDARHURST......With recipes like that, I want to be your MFP friend. Wow but that sounds good! I make an awesome meatloaf now but I never thought about putting lowfat cheese in the center! Wow!! Just think of the variations! Maybe add some diced peppers, onions and cheese in the center too. Wow..
    Thanks for that post!

    I seriously just add whatever is in the fridge to ground beef or turkey +worchestershire sauce, bread crumbs and one egg. normally that means garlic, onion, tomato,and whatever else sounds good at that moment.....I think I need to make it soon, I wonder if my hubby would like it
