❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love the combination of the spices plus the sweetness of the sauce in this recipe. If you read the comments many people agree this is one of the best meatloaf recipes. We have made this a few different ways and it’s always a hit. Many people think.. brown sugar? I assure you… it is wonderful.

SWAPS

We have made this meatloaf many times with ground turkey. It’s delicious! We suggest using the 85/15 for this recipe to add a little extra fat. The lean turkey will not hold together very well. Also, we have made this recipe without onions, green peppers, and celery! Just the meat, oats, egg, and all the spices, and it’s just as good! Some people don’t like those things when taking to an event, so we simply leave them out.
