This Southern meatloaf recipe features Creole and Greek seasonings and a hint of garlic. A few tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce spice up the traditional ketchup topping.
I love the flavor,but when u make it, it's too crumbly. Any suggestuons?
Like I have always taught my kids, DON'T KNOCK SOMETHING UNTIL YOU TRY IT!!!! Don't tell me you don't like something until you have tried it. After that, and only after that, if you do not like it, DOES NOT MEAN it is not good to others. It only means you do not like it... Why would you want to even think you can think for all other peoples taste buds when it is clear that you really don't think much at all. Wow, I'll bet you think water is tasteless also..
Wonderful recipe!! Love the Creole n Greek seasoning.. I also substituted bell pepper for the celery and added brown sugar to the tomato topping.. my husband loved it ! And was even better the next day! MY go to recipe for meatloaf!! Other recipes from this Fairfield cookbook are awesome!!
Rockyhillgal; For a little zip, I use chunky mild salsa instead of ketchup.Gives it a more zesty taste. My family loves it.
This is my third time making this meatloaf! I love it it comes out so nice and juicy and perfect unlike the dry meatloaf's I ate as a kid. I never have the right seasonings, so I just throw in Italian seasoning, garlic powder, a bit of pepper and some dill. I always add a ton of extra Worcestershire sauce because I love it. Don't use celery it just doesn't go well, add some chopped onion and green peppers, even garlic if you have it.
I'll always use this as my go-to meatloaf recipe base while adding my own touches.
Why in the world would you leave a one star review for a recipe you haven't made and you "think" would not be good? Give me a break!
This meatloaf is melt in your mouth heavenly meatloaf! The best I have ever tated. My family loves it. This will be the only recipie I will use
As the title indicates, this is a very traditional meatloaf. It's good for what it is, but I prefer a little more zip.
Everyone has a meatloaf recipe, it is a family staple. This is my new favorite--BEST. Meatloaf. EVER. Husband agreed this is the best one we've ever tasted. Followed the recipe, but topped it with tomato-chile gravy. Served with mashed cauliflower and potatoes and a green salad. Couldn't want a better meal than this. Give this meatloaf recipe a try--you'll be amazed!
Simple, easy, perfection. This Georgia girl has never tasted better. I had all the ingredients on hand.
One of the best meatloaves Ive had and its the only one Ive ever made myself. Husband agreed! Will make this again!
This was really delicious! I did not have the celery, so I used a bell pepper instead and it turned out wonderful. Will definitely make this again.
PrintableCouponsandDeals.com has a lot of coupons that can be used on this recipe and many others. You should really check them out! (I use them constantly)
Made this for my family tonight and they loved it! I had to cut back on the Creole seasoning, but other than that, this was an excellent recipe!!
This was an instant hit with our family. Extremely moist, flavorful and well seasoned. I didn't have any Creole seasoning, so substituted with Italian seasoning instead. So good! Will make again.
This is the best meat loaf recipe and the only one I use. I follow the recipe exactly. My whole family loves it.
Made 12 mini meat loafs in muffin pan
I substituted the 2 pounds of beef with 1 pound of bison and 1 pound of turkey breast, and then I added just 4 oz of diced, cooked bacon. It was a huge improvement (though I enjoyed the original recipe)
Great recipe! Instead of baking it in the oven I used my crock pot - 6 hours on low heat - because I had FOOTBALL to watch. I covered the meatloaf with half of the sauce when I put it in and covered it with the rest one hour before it came out. It was incredibly juicy and flavorful. Better yet, the meatloaf sandwich I made the next day was absolutely incredible. I'll definitely be making this recipe again.
This meatloaf has the BEST flavor of any meatloaf we have had. My entire family loves it! Absolutely worth putting in the rotation!
Very Delicious Meat Load but made a couple modifications. I didnt have the creole seasoning so just left that out but taste was still great. I did do this half beef/half ground turkey to cut some of the calories. Also, switch out celery for green pepper also because I didnt have celery on hand... I served this with Mashed Cauliflower & Green Onion recipe from Cooking Light... Also, I put this in 3 different loaf pans. One larger for tonights dinner and then 2 in mini loaf pans for future dinners when in a rush.
celery is not something you associate with meatloaf, finely chopped green pepper yes but celery no it just dosen't sound good celery is a strong flavor raw and cooked and it would take over the taste of the meatloaf
This recipe is the reason my children love meatloaf. We make this frequently and serve with green beans and mashed potatoes. This is a great make-ahead for us on a weeknight.
Absolutely flavorful and moist. Everyone really enjoyed this. I served this with mashed potatoes with caramelized shallots and corn. Did not have the greek seasoning or spices on hand to make my own but it was still very flavorful. Check out my blog at http://imapretendchef.blogspot.com
The flavor was very strong. One bite was about all we could handle before getting tired of it.
This is the best meatloaf I have ever eaten. My six year old little one requested more even after eating leftovers. This recipe is a winner and will be made again and again.
This meatloaf has an excellent flavor; best meatloaf I have ever had! I served carrots and broccoli as a side along with mashed potatoes. My daughter, very picky eater, loved it. I did add a little bit of brown sugar to the sauce on top to reduce the tartness of the tomato sauce.
Very good recipe. Moist but not greasy. My one complaint is the uninspired tomato sauce. I know it's supposed to be old- fashioned, but I would pair the meatloaf with a different sauce recipe.
Delicious! Will make again. I didn't have Greek seasoning, but googled it, found a 5 star recipe for it. Def keeping "both" recipes! * 2 teaspoons dried oregano * 2 teaspoons salt * 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder * 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder * 1 teaspoon cornstarch * 1 teaspoon black pepper * 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes * 1 teaspoon paprika * 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon * 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg * 1/2 teaspoon thyme I put it in a little airtight container and labled it "Greek Seasoning".
Very tasty! I will be making this meatloaf again and again. I served it with mashed potatoes with roasted garlic butter (which was also very good). I followed the recipe exactly and would not change a thing. Even my picky boyfriend loved it! Definitely worth the effort. Meatloaf isn't exactly a dinner party staple, but if you served this dish, I don't think anyone would complain. Worthy of a special occasion.
Although it wasn't quite as good as CL's Corn Meatloaf, this was still wonderful (and less effort). A really great combination of seasonings and easy to make. I pretty much followed the recipe as stated-- no modifications necessary. Served with baked potatoes, glazed carrots and steamed asparagus. Made for some great left-overs on night two!
Yummy in the tummy!! Fabulous meatloaf and very moist. I made this for a family dinner and It was gone before the night ended. Will be making this dish again.
Just a wonderful, simple recipe. We loved it and it was great cold the next day.
