This was great! I'd been using my mom's meatloaf recipe ever since finishing college but this was way better (sorry mom!). Having said that, I did make some small changes. I added about 1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach (thawed) to the meat mixture and also a Tbl of Worcestershire sauce. And I also sautéed the onions in butter with two cloves of garlic before adding to the meat mixture. Last but not least, for the "glaze" I used 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 Tbl brown sugar, 1 Tbl Worcestershire sauce, 2 Tbl horseradish, 2 Tbl spicy brown mustard and 2 Tbl tomato purée and smeared it all over the top and sides of the meatloaf before cooking - and the result was very delicious, if I do say so myself! Baking time was exactly as stated - perfectly cooked and very moist - thanks Stephanie!

Thank you for posting such an easy meatloaf recipe. I had most of the ingredients, except for the crackers, which I substituted with Panko (and instead of ground beef I used ground turkey) and I added a teaspoon of Parmesan (I'm a cheese lover, what can I say?) The topping/sauce was just the perfect amount of sweetness and overall the meatloaf was quite satisfying!
