    Everkbody knows how to make meatloaf. Ground meat, a couple of eggs, and breadcrumbs. However, for every different household, there is a different meatloaf recipe. What makes your meatloaf better/different from anybody else's?

    My meatloaf has some shredded cheddar cheese mixed in, and it's basted with BBQ sauce instead of ketchup. After it comes out of the oven, sprinkle some more cheese on top, let it melt, cut, and devour.

    I've never made meatloaf, but I like onions mixed in, and I like that ketchup glaze on the top for some odd reason.

    I don't know how. I can cook a lot of things, but I've never cooked Meatloaf. I'll give it a try, what's your recipe?

    bigger and longer... just kidding, I'm a girl, I can't make those jokes...

    Meatloaf, the food, was always kind of gross to me for some reason, so I don't make it, nor eat it if I can help it.

    I've never made meatloaf myself. I have a good meatball recipe that I've thought about converting to a meatloaf, but I never have. I like mine with onions and green onions mixed in. I don't like ketchup, I like gravy. The best I ever had was a Cajun co-worker who made it dry to start with. Then he sliced it and cooked it down in a spicy tomato gravy. It was unbelievably good.

    I put a can of diced tomatoes(drained) in the meat, and breadcrumb mixture. Usually I use a can (Hunt's brand, maybe) with some sweet onions added.

    Top with a mixture of tomato sauce and brown sugar.

    mmm,mmm...good.

    Ground chicken instead of ground beef, with salsa on top instead of ketchup.

    My mother makes it with a can of alphabet soup and ground beef (I want to say a can per 1.5 pounds). It is very simple and extremely tasty.
