Love this meat loaf. We make this once a week. We use ground turkey instead of ground beef and use Egg beaters for the 'egg' portion. Very tasty, expecially with the sauch topping.

Read the label for a jar of mustard ingredients and see what it says. Moderator: 1 teaspoon of mustard has only 7 mg potassium. It may be substituted in this recipe if desired.

very moist meatloaf. Did not have brown sugar, still a little to sweet for my taste. Still very good.

I've made this receipe twice with a couple of changes. I substituted the zesty BBQ sauce receipe for the catsup and it tasted great.

I am so happy to see a recipe that I can use catsup, as I received a renal diet which said to not use tomatoes and tomato sauce, and i assumed this also met catsup. Does this mean that I can also use a little on a burger?

We have a 13 year old with a failing kidney. It is a struggle to find recipes the whole family enjoys. Unfortunately, our 13 yr old did not care for this, but three other family members (including me!) liked this meatloaf a lot. So I would recommend giving this one a try. We used no salt added catsup.

I mixed all ingred. in a bowl before reading the directions and it tasted great and moist. Made the topping and used just a little on top. My family loved it.

Awesome recipe! One change could be a bit more brown sugar for the topping. I think using a little less than 1/4 cup makes the sauce amazing. I also baked this in mini loaves. 1/4 of the meat per loaf.
