Julia, I can’t thank you, and Bridget, enough for teaching me how to cook or at least get around in the kitchen. Much appreciated!!

I love that you do a little quick rundown of the steps at the end so I don't have to go back to remember everything - every chef on youtube should do this!

[ellecaledonia]

This meatloaf is delicious! The family absolutely loved it. In fact, it is so good, this is the only meatloaf recipe we will make henceforth. Thank you Julia!!!

I always make my own tomato sauce from scratch. I make this in a 22 liters pot, YES 22 liters. When tomatoes get just right to the end of August or the start of September, I do it, taking the skin and seed off then browning the onions, carrots, celeries, and a lot of red peppers flakes, then the meat mostly beef with pork, once cook, I add my tomatoes, and a whole bunch of them, I've got around 4 to 5 pounds of meat, the tomatoes which I crush by hand, and let this go for a few hours. The 22 liters pot is almost full, just 1/2 cm off the top at the starting point. After cooking for 8 to 10 hours, I got back home or was home on a day off, tasting it to see if the spices were fine and adding a few spices if needed. This receipt never lasts a whole year, I usually 2 of them in a row, in the second receipt I always added a pork tenderloin in it so it cooks slowly for 8 to 10 hours. So the first day we eat the sauce with any kind of noodles, the second one we eat the pork tenderloin with vegetables and some sauce over it. that way my younger brother and I may have homemade tomato sauce for a whole year. IF I can control my brother for a while, otherwise this wouldn't last a whole year.

6:50 For those of us who don’t have an entire production team to clean up our kitchen, slicing the meatloaf in the casserole works just fine; otherwise, I can see why one would not give a second thought to soiling an entire wooden cutting board for all of 30-seconds-worth of slicing.

Made this yesterday using fresh tomatoes I crushed instead of canned. This meatloaf recipe is great! Really delicious and the sauce impressed me since it was so simple. Using leftovers for the sandwich recipe they have on their website.

Made it for dinner last night... absolutely fantastic. Packed with flavor, like a giant meatball. And the broiled cheese sends it over the top. The left-over sauce is going over pasta!

I like how the host of the show took the liberty of taking her jewelry off rings and such when preparing food some thing that is a big pet peeve of mine.

[kathleennorton]

We've always made ours with saucy tomato over it. Not Italian, but with salt and pepper. It mixes with the meat juices and is delicious over mashed potaoes, or half bakeds. We usually do the half bakeds with meatloaf. The sauce makes it!

I love a good meatloaf. Nothing better than a meatloaf sandwich.

[theonlymrkevin]

This recipe is the bomb! I just made it tonight, and it was sooo good.

Thank you Julia. Love watching you lovely ladies cook!

[smellyfella]

Meatloaf is one of my favorites; I'm definitely making this absolutely delicious!

[victorrestrepo]

I made it exactly as described it was spectacular! Making it again.

[joanies]

Haven't made meatloaf in 3 years. This looks delicious enough to give it a go... and quite simple. I love mixed meats for this.

If you have left over sauce and meat for sandwiches, you can cook the sauce down and make tomato jam with it to spread on the bread. 😋😋😋
