One of our favorite holiday recipes. I change it a tiny bit to accommodate our leftovers...I leave out the milk/water and use 1 cup of leftover HOMEMADE whole cranberry sauce. It makes this recipe over-the-top delicious. My cranberry sauce is a simple recipe from the Joy of Cooking cookbook and it gives this meatloaf the perfect taste. My husband likes Thanksgiving and Christmas more because he knows the meatloaf will follow....hahahah! My two <4 year old boys also love it, which is amazing.

This was delicious and a big hit with my partner. I omitted the cranberries (don't like fruit with meat), but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I'll be making this one again, thanks lily!

Made this for dinner last night ALMOST exactly to the recipe...I used a 6oz package of stuffing mix which was more grams then the recipe amount & didn't have as many cranberries left as I thought so probably used less then 1/2 the recipe amount. Also had to cook it longer - about 70 mins (I USED to think my oven ran hot but this is the 2nd recipe in two days where I've had to cook longer then called for and I like my food NOT overcooked so maybe something's up w/ my oven). Very moist and great flavor but I'm only giving it four stars because, in mine & my hubby's opinion, it needed 'something'. Maybe we are just used to ketchup style toppings but it needs something like that. Or cranberry sauce. Or even a little gravy. If you're not a sauce person though, the flavor and moisture of this recipe is great!
