I have used this recipe many times, my family loves it. I do cut down on the onions by one-half. Always make an extra batch, they reheat well and make good meatloaf sandwiches as well. Thanks for a great and simple recipe. It is a belly filler.

These were really good!! I think it has ruined my DH on "big" loaves of meatloaf now!!:-) He said he much rathers the smaller loaves- so I guess it will be like this from now on. Thank You for sharing!!

A good recipe for meatloaf. The only thing I did differently was reduce the amount of onion, it seemed like a lot for 1 lb. of ground beef. I used quick oats but might think of using breadcrumbs next time as others did. Texturally I prefer the breadcrumbs.

Great recipe!!! As always, I can never leave a recipe alone - I added garlic and italian breadcrumbs :) It was really good. The sauce was just a little too sweet though - I think next time I'll use only 1/4 cup brown sugar. I really like how it's made for individual servings too! Thanks for another great recipe that I can add to my cookbook!!!

Oh so yummy! It is like eating a giant meatball with melted cheese inside! I used bread as a binder, no oats in the house. Also added onion and garlic powder, parsley flakes, parmesan cheese along with the cheddar. This is so much easier than making meatballs and just as flavorfull. Thank you for the idea!
