Meatloaf Yummy is the kind of meal that feels like a warm hug. Juicy, flavorful, and easy to make, this classic dish has been a family favorite for generations. With a perfect blend of ground meat, breadcrumbs, onions, and seasonings, it bakes into a tender loaf topped with a sweet and tangy glaze that caramelizes beautifully in the oven.
The magic of this meatloaf starts with the right balance of ingredients. Ground beef is the most common choice, offering rich flavor and tenderness. Breadcrumbs and eggs help hold everything together while keeping it moist. Finely diced onions, garlic, salt, pepper, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce add a savory depth that’s irresistible.
A signature feature of Meatloaf Yummy is the glaze. Made from ketchup, brown sugar, and a touch of mustard or vinegar, it forms a glossy, flavorful coating on top of the loaf. As it bakes, the glaze becomes sticky and slightly caramelized, adding the perfect contrast to the savory meat.
Meatloaf Yummy is wonderfully versatile. You can swap in ground turkey, chicken, or pork for a lighter variation. Some people love to mix in shredded cheese, chopped herbs, or even vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for added flavor and texture.
Serve it with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a simple green salad for a well-rounded meal. The leftovers are just as delicious, slice it up for sandwiches or serve it reheated for an easy next-day lunch.
Simple, satisfying, and always comforting, Meatloaf Yummy is a dish that brings people together. Whether it’s a busy weeknight or a weekend family dinner, this recipe delivers the kind of hearty, homemade flavor that never goes out of style.

This meatloaf recipe is fantastic! I added a bit of cheese and it turned out super yummy! 5 stars!
Wow, I’m glad you liked it! Cheese sounds like a great addition. I’ll have to try that next time! 😋
I was skeptical but tried it for my family dinner. Everyone loved it! Thumbs up from my picky eaters!
That’s great to hear! Meatloaf can really surprise people, especially picky eaters. What did you serve with it?
Delicious! I made it for a potluck and it disappeared! People were raving about it.
Yummy!! A pit more salt than I’d like tho. Next time gonna hold back!
A pit more salt? Sounds like an understatement! That’s a LOT of salt you used! Maybe consider using less next time?
I love meatloaf too! Yeah, salt can get overwhelming sometimes. Just gotta find that balance, right?
I don’t think it needs that much garlic salt. Made mine with just a sprinkle and it was delightful!
Meatloaf is just gross, man. Who eats that?!
Great recipe but I think too many peppers. Ruined the flavor for me. Maybe less next time.
I actually love the peppers! They add a nice crunch and flavor. Maybe try using a different type if you didn’t like them?
Meh, it was okay. Nothing special. My grandma’s recipe is way better.
Meatloaf king here! But the ketchup cover is gross. Why cover it at all?
Nah, man! Ketchup is classic. The meatloaf needs it! Otherwise, it’s just meat and oats… not the same without the sauce!
I totally get you! The ketchup can be a bit much for some. But it gives a nice glaze and flavor, don’t you think? Just skip it if you don’t like it!
Took a bit longer to bake than suggested, but my oven might be old lol. It turned out great in the end!
Glad it turned out great! Sometimes older ovens can be tricky. Would love to hear more about how it tasted!
Meatloaf? Sounds weird with oatmeal. Are you sure it was good? 🤔
10 eggs?! That’s way too many. I thought this was a meatloaf, not an omelette! 😅
Too many eggs! I think 10 is a bit overboard. I used only 3 and it came out fine.
I actually think more eggs make it fluffier! Did you try adding more ingredients to balance it out?
Three eggs? You gotta be kidding! How does it even stay together?
10 eggs? Really?? Seems like a lot… I mean, who’s eating this much?
Too salty for my taste. I think I would cut down on the Lawry’s. Any suggestions?
Love the idea of using oatmeal instead of breadcrumbs! My family devoured it! 🙂
I totally agree! Oatmeal makes it so moist and gives a unique flavor. Glad your fam liked it! 😊
I don’t have that much ground beef! Can I use chicken instead? What do u think?
Meatloaf?? This looks like a heart attack on a plate! No thanks.
This meatloaf is a family favorite! We love the flavor! Just perfect.
Totally agree! This meatloaf is the best. My kids can’t get enough of it.
Isn’t there too many eggs? Like 10? That sounds weird to me… I’ll stick to my simple recipe.
Yummy! Just right amount of seasoning, and I even added cheese! 😋
I added some shredded cheese in the middle. Major upgrade! 😋
Great, I mean very good recipe. I mistyped when I tried to cook it tho, mixed up oven temps. Whoops!
I only put 4 eggs in, and it was fine. Didn’t wanna waste all those eggs!
Ummm… this seems kind of gross. Who puts oatmeal in meatloaf? But I guess whatever works.
Yummy yummy! My kids devoured it! Definitely making this again!
That’s awesome to hear! Kids really know what they like. Meatloaf done right! 🍽️
This recipe was super easy to follow and my kids loved it! Definitely a keeper.
Why do you need 10 eggs?! Seems excessive, I think I’ll stick to 3 or 4.
I think the eggs help bind everything together and make it really moist. You can always adjust it to your taste! 😊
10 eggs is way too much! My meatloaf only needs 2 eggs, and it turns out just fine. Trust me!
This ain’t my mama’s meatloaf. Way too much salt… my blood pressure is not happy. 😅
This meatloaf is a game changer! So moist and flavorful! Will make again for sure.
Glad you liked it! Meatloaf can be so boring, but this recipe really brings it to life! 😋
I dunno, 10 eggs seems a bit much? Isn’t that a lot for meatloaf? What if it turns out all soggy?
I just made this and it was DELICIOUS! The flavors were amazing and my husband couldn’t stop eating it.
Meatloaf? Never heard of using oatmeal before. Seems odd. How does it taste?
Oatmeal in meatloaf is actually pretty common! It helps bind everything together, and the taste is really good. You just gotta mix it well! 😊
I dunno, oatmeal seems like a weird choice. Can’t meatloaf just be meat? 🤔 I’d stick with bread crumbs.
Meatloaf doesn’t need all that fancy stuff! Just some ground beef, onions, and ketchup is enough!
But you gotta be adventurous with your meatloaf! It’s not just beef and ketchup, ya know? The flavors blend much better with all those ingredients.
Mixing it with hands? Eww, that sounds dirty. I’ll just use a spoon.
Soo good! I used BBQ sauce instead of ketchup. #GameChanger
Yummm. Meatloaf has always been my fave! This one looks special. Can’t wait to try it!
It tasted okay, but I’m not a fan of the Worcestershire sauce. Maybe try it without?
Not sure about the oatmeal part but hey, it turned out awesome! Thanks!
Lol 10 lbs of beef? Are we feeding an army? I made a half batch and it was plenty!
Haha, right? I can’t believe they expect someone to actually make that much! I think feeding a small village would be easier.
Don’t underestimate the power of meatloaf! You can freeze the leftovers. But still, 10 lbs is a bit much.
Gonna try it! But also, can someone tell me why we put eggs in a meatloaf??
