After many other meatloaf attempts, this is our preferred recipe! I always cut it in half, so I've never a problem with cook time like someone else posted. I made it last night and added shredded carrots. When my husband saw what was for dinner he said "this is gonna be the best dinner I've had in a while," which is a reflection of how much he likes this meatloaf : )

Not a success. I used all turkey and followed the rest of the recipe to a T. It did not mold together it was too loose. I'm going to try it again but I will omit some water. I loved the concept of the oats and cheese.

Very good and very moist ,the only thing I would do different is that I would bake it for an hour instead of 45 min. It was still a little raw at 45 min.

This was awesome!!! I used all ground beef, and it came out so moist...never thought cheese and oats would taste good in a meatloaf...but this was incredible!! Will definately be making this again!!! Meg in Colorado

Wonderful! Great consistency, moist, and flavorful! I used ground turkey and it turned out wonderful. Cooked it in mini-loaf pans and froze 1/2 for later! Best meatloaf I have ever made- thanks!
