This was an excellent moist meatloaf with great flavour. DH loved it and he usually hates my meatloaf. -
Absolutely delicious! The family said "the best meatloaf we've ever had!" Thanks for a great recipe! -
Not bad for a meatloaf. I feel that it may have deserved 4 stars, but we didn't follow the recipe exact, so I can't rate it less for altering it. We used ground turkey instead of beef & pork(healthier) and the BBQ sauce was sweet and tangy. I could have done without the BBQ sauce myself and instead used ketchup. I'm not a "twang" person, though my BH is. Otherwise, we followed the recipe as noted. I would have used a bit more sourcream instead of using any milk. We liked the way it cut and I did have a sandwich the next day...no complaints. Thanks for posting. -
I agree, an excellent meatloaf, but ours was dry because Dh likes it that way-thinks it makes better sandwiches. Cut the cayenne in half (and that was about right for us) and didn't add any milk. Dh is happy, thanks. -
This makes for a wonderful sandwich. Didn't use the cayenne, cause some don't like hot. Served with sliced pickled jalapenos for those that did. Thanks for sharing

Sensational flavor along with a moist and delicate loaf that held together beautifully. I used all beef (no pork), substituted yogurt for the sour cream, and used a bit more cumin. No need for the milk. I poured off the fat midway through the cooking process. I didn't think I could improve on my own meatloaf recipe, but you proved me wrong. Thank you!!!
