Bo's Favorite Meatloaf - for Meatloaf Haters

Submitted by Roses Granddaughter

"My husband has always sworn that he hates meat loaf. I came across a recipe in a Campbell Soup cook book and changed it to his taste. Now he wants this meat loaf every week and absolutely loves it. It stays moist and reheats very well so we can make a large batch of it at a time. We add it to omelets in the morning and make sandwiches out of it for lunch."

I subbed panko bread crumbs for the cornflakes.<br/><br/>Yummy meatloaf, and some compliments proclaiming it as "the best they've ever had."<br/><br/>Thanks!

This was a really good supper! We found it was a bit TOO moist, so next time I think I will try it with the quick oats instead of the corn flakes. My kids, my husband and I all really loved the flavour though... glad there were leftovers!

My fiancee loved the recipe, but my mom said she would have liked it without the garlic next time. Either way, I'll make it again, but this time, I think I'll put in garlic salt to sub for the garlic. :) Great recipe!!

Fantastic Meatloaf! Even my mother in law liked it! I used the quick oats and when I drained the juice I added some brown sugar and used it as a glaze...It was awesome! Thanks for the recipe!

Very Good recipe. For me it was an excellent starting point. My wife loved it! I'm the cook in the family. I did modify it a little. I substituted quick cooking Quaker oats instead of the cornflakes. I also added a "surprise" when I formed the meatloaf in the meatloaf pan. I was able to arrange 3 hard boiled eggs. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, I topped the meatloaf with spaghetti sauce instead of ketchup and grated fresh parmesan cheese when I served it. Very moist meatloaf and it stayed together, did not fall apart. ~ Gregory
