I'm proud of myself fellow Foodies. This is the first time I've made meatloaf. You may not believe this, but I've never even tasted it until tonight. The preparation took forever! http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/000233classic_meat_loaf.php

I like to put rice in it instead of bread crumbs!!! Just add it into the mixture uncooked!
I have found that it is really good with ground turkey burger; Less fat.


First ever meatloaf..Wow! I think it must've been one of my first solids..lol
If this one took forever you can find lots of recipes on here that throw together in a snap!
Great post!


Thanks for your advice holly...

mrtnz, I'll have a browse!


This is a great sounding one. I have never seen one with leftover roast beef. I'll have to give this one a spin.

There are lots of ones that just use a few ingredients that are a snap!
Thanks for this!

I make meatloaf when I need something that takes 2 minutes to put together ... but yours sounds way better! Going to have to try this one. Holly's rice idea is great too. I usually use oatmeal instead of breadcrumbs.
