You have to try smoked meatloaf… so yummy!!
Thank you! This was easy recipe to follow & it was delicious.
Looks good but What temp on the oven for an hour ?
What did you do to chuck!?
No thank you with the oatmeal AND the brown sugar. Why do you need sugar for a meat dish?
"What's this here sauce" is an easier way to say it! Lmao
I love this recipe. the only changes I made to mine was to add one grated carrot ('cos i didn't have the green pepper) and a few chopped mushrooms ('cos I just love 'em!). Also, instead of combining brown sugar with ketchup for the topping. I actually mixed 1 TBS. of BBQ sauce with the ketchup – and my meatloaf was sooo yum! Everyone has their favorite recipes…Thank you for sharing yours – as it's a classic meatloaf! 🙂

4:15 See the face in the ketchup? Weird how sometimes that happens.
This video makes a good meat loaf.
Thank you😊😊
Saute those veggies first let cool then continue
It's very easy to pronounce Worcestershire! The correct pronunciation is "wuster"…as simple as that. This looks delicious…gona make it. Love from NE England.
I make mine with oatmeal and no need to soak the oatmeal, and no need to sauté onions, they will cook just perfectly in an hour. This is very similar to my recipe.
Deronda, the first time I prepared this, I had forgotten the egg. I don't think it made a lot of difference except for it was a little dry. But, adding Thyme to the mix made it taste horrible. So, I made another tonight. Remembered the egg and did not add Thyme. It was sweeter and tasted much, much better. Thanks for the recipe. My wife said it was the best she had ever had and she is the cook in the house and a very, very good one I might add.
Can I also use with regular ground 🥩 beef?if I am not able to find ground chuck? Thank you for this wonderful video it look 👀 easy to make
Too much sugar
Made Derona's ml many times Love It!! I think i'm gonna add mushrooms this time.
*Tip….I use clear plastic disposable gloves to combine the ingredients & shape the meatloaf. Hey Deronda….made your meatloaf again tonight!! Thanx!
Why oat meal

lofi jazz
350 F I guess for 55 minutes
I made this today, but with ground chicken and barbecue sauce mixed with ketchup. It came out delicious. I tend to add extra oatmeal too lol 🙂
You make a mean loaf lady
Looking good 🤠
Love it, Deronda
First of all you don't put ketchup in ground meat makes it very slimy and nasty
LOOKS SO DELICIOUS AND PROBABLY ALSO TASTES DELICIOUS DEFINITELY I WILL MAKE IT
I love meatloaf! Unfortunately I live with people who don't eat beef and I have found ground turkey and chicken just isn't as good. Especially ground turkey in spaghetti sauce–yuck! But here is my concern: I see you put a pan filled with water in the oven under the meatloaf pan. In that hour they were in the oven for didn't the water boil in the pan and splash all over the oven? If so, that must have been quite nerve-wracking.
Meatloaf is one of my favorite dinners! Most people would eat it with vegetables and mashed potatoes, which I am NOT a fan of! I'd prefer a side of onion rings and rice or pasta!
What does the brown sugar do
Great comments great food recipe,
Thx
