BEST EVER MEATLOAF RECIPE | With the Tastiest Glaze!

The best meatloaf is really easy to make from simple, everyday ingredients. Ground beef is mixed with onion, herbs, and savory flavors, then topped with the tastiest glaze that goes beyond just ketchup.

I love this classic meatloaf because it's easy, moist, filling, hearty, naturally gluten-free (with oats!) and just like my mom used to make. Serve it with creamy mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables for a cozy, comforting dinner the whole family will love. Oh, it's also great for meal prep!

How do you guys feel about turkey meatloaf? Should I add a recipe for that in the future as well? Let me know! xo - Lisa

Oats work perfectly! I have used rolled oats for years but now I whiz them in the food processor to make oat crumbs for a finer texture. Half ground beef and half ground turkey works great too.

Oh, this is so nostalgic! My husband had three specialties: pot roast, Bolognaise sauce, and meat loaf. It's as if you had watched him make it! No one else we knew used oats, and I think they give it such a lovely open texture. Catsup & Worcestershire sauce, perfect. His secret, though, was his 'kitchen sink' additions. A couple of lonely mushrooms? A grated carrot? Half a red pepper forgotten in the veg drawer? But the most memorable was the night he tossed in some leftover crushed pineapple - it was absolutely, surprisingly, delicious. Thanks, Lisa!

Instead of oatmeal I use cooked quinoa and my family totally loves it. Thanks for the recipe.

I use half ground beef and half ground pork to keep it moist. Love this recipe. ❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hi Lisa! I made this last evening for dinner. I haven’t made meat loaf for years. I like to eat a primarily vegetarian diet but my husband was recently diagnosed with low iron so, in addition to supplementation, I’ve been using red meat again, occasionally. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. My husband and adult daughter’s reactions made my day. I own your cookbook, have been a subscriber to your videos for quite a while and really enjoy your presentation and content. I can always be sure things will turn out just as they’re supposed to. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the great work!

I made meatballs with this recipe, just added a finely diced carrot - 15 minutes at 180°C in the airfryer in two batches. This truly is the best ever recipe! Thank you so much!

[gaiagirardelli]

I cooked this recipe for dinner tonight and it was a hit. Full of flavour, moist and light at the same time. I served it with roast potatoes and mixed salad. The family loved it. Thank you so much.

[mesrowe]

Ok hands down, one of the best meatloaf recipes around! Family and I loved how fluffy and flavorful it turned out! Yummmm! The sauce was tasty as well! Thank you!

[susantrail]

I was just wishing I had a better meatloaf recipe and you came to my rescue (again)! I always know I am going to love your recipes! Thanks Lisa.

[soozieq]

Thank you for sharing your recipes! They have truly been a blessing for a mom who has a daughter who, all of a sudden, can’t tolerate gluten or dairy anymore. ❤

[mariacasella]

Meatloaf is such a favorite in our house, my husband loves to make meatloaf sandwiches the next day too-I’ve always used bread crumbs so using oats will be a nice change, definitely going to make this😋thank you Lisa!!!adding this to my menu ❤

[ruthresetar]

Worchester sauce is a magic ingredient!

[HonorEtVirtus]

Suggestion: For the glaze use Balsamic Vinegar instead of Worchestire Sauce. Include Red pepper flakes and a little yellow mustard. The smell is outstanding and tastes even better.

Thank you for this recipe. It’s very similar to my late mother’s recipe, which my husband loved. I never really got her recipe from her, and when she passed at the age of 97 in 2019, my hubby and I figured we’d never have mom’s delicious meatloaf again. Now I can surprise my husband with this recipe, which looks delish and so much like my dear mother’s recipe. 💕

[alanaltshuld]

Looks like there’s a meatloaf in my future. A turkey meatloaf recipe would be great.

[korinna]

What a great and different recipe. Thank you! Now waiting for your turkey meatloaf.

❤ warm up the house with this comfort food 😋 Happy New Year, Lisa! 🥂🎉

[cathyphegley]

Thank you for this simple delicious recipe! I had to chuckle when you brought out the ruler! 🤣 I have to tell you though Lisa-every time you bring out your pristine white baking dishes I’m screaming at the screen…..PARCHMENT PAPER! 😂 I added steak sauce instead of ketchup just for a twist. Love your cookbook girl!💕
