Hi Natasha!! WOW that is just fantastic news, I’m so glad that we converted your boyfriend too!! Thank you soooo much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review, I appreciate it so much!! -Stephanie

I was looking for a good meatloaf recipe and stumbled across this on Instagram. My mom made a lot of meatloaf growing up, but I always wanted more glaze and some pieces could be a little dry. This is like your moms meatloaf but better (sorry mum), moist throughout, saucy, & well seasoned! Served with asparagus and mashed potatoes, the boyfriend (who “doesn’t really like meatloaf”) now loves meatloaf and said it was the best one he’s ever had. Thanks for the great recipe!

Yayyy! I’m so happy you liked it so much Roger! The cookbook isn’t sold on Amazon, it’s sold exclusively on the blog. Here’s a link: https://thecozycook.com/cookbook/

Thanks so much for your support!💖

This is probably the most perfectly balanced texture and flavor wise meatloaf I have ever made. I also like the size of it since I do not have to eat meatloaf for five days. My Italian housekeeper said this is the way meatloaf should be done. All of Stephanie’s recipes that I have tried have been perfect. The sauce is excellent. I use season Panko breadcrumbs instead of Ritz crackers and let them soak in the liquid about 15 to 20 minutes before adding the meat. I think this made it more tender is Stephanie‘s cookbook sold out? I cannot find it on Amazon.

I’m so glad you enjoyed these for Christmas Dinner Tracy! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, your description of the dish made me so hungry!😋

Thanks for sharing your comments Tracy, sounds like you’re a meatloaf lover like me!❤️

I did plan on having some sort of roast tonight but I got carried away with my little meatloaves and decided to just go ahead and bake them and have them tonight for Christmas dinner..
Siri with some mashed potatoes with butter and some rolls and it’s very tasty and good very nice dinner
You see the potatoes the carrots and the zucchini make it really good tasty and it keeps it very moist
It’s really quite flavorful it’s very good

When I make a meatloaf I put the meat the crackers the egg I put a half of yellow zucchini a half of a red potato a little bit of red onion very little bit half of a carrot a mushroom some seasoning
I mix it all together work it together oh yeah I add a little ketchup to it and I put it in some mini aluminum loaf pans and it’s in the oven cooking right now it’s very good it stays very moist it’s really nice try it you’ll see but I don’t want to cook it at 375 because I think that makes it dried out so I’m cooking mine at a lower temperature for a little bit longer.
I put ketchup down the middle of the top of the meatloaf and I put a little brown sugar on it right before I bake it it’s very good yummy
Have a good night Merry Christmas everyone

peace

Thanks so much for sharing your tweaks Lyn, I’m so happy this was a success! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!💖

I was looking for a recipe that I could adjust as I only had 3/4 lb or pork and this was the key. I had to make minor changes to match the 1lb ratio. I also was looking for mini or individual ones and these were perfect. The only real change I made was we had no BBQ sauce. I don’t buy store bought but make my own as needed and had zero in-house. I used HP and it worked out excellent if anyone else cared. 🙂 Thank you we both loved this one.
