Italian Meatloaf Just 3 steps to an all in one comfort meal!
This recipe came from an old Food and Family Magazine by Kraft Recipes. I was looking for a recipe that would be easy and fast but with a kick. This one doesn’t disappoint! You can substitute veal or turkey for the ground beef to make it healthier. This time of year that is a big PLUS in my home. I use a little trick to blending that ground beef without a mess. Using plastic gloves (or baggies) over my hands I don’t need to touch the meat as I blend and form it. That is a big win win for me! I also use a loaf pan that has a raised strainer to allow any juices to sit in the pan below the meat. If you’re one of those people that loves a good meatloaf, this recipe is for you! And if you’re one of those people that finds their self with a dry loaf that’s hard as a rock, this one will surely make your kids turn and ask you for more. I hope you enjoy!

    • I did too! I think they still make it. I am sure my daughter-in-law gets it. I still have all my old copies! They were just as good as a cookbook! #FridayFrivolity

  6. We really like meatloaf, and I like that you poured the tomato sauce over it at the end, that must make it really nice and juicy! Thanks for sharing at Sweet Inspiration Marilyn! Have a great one!

  10. Maryland, we love a great meatloaf. Although I do use Italian herb seasoning in my Meatloaf I also use onion soup mix, parmesan and Worcestershire. Your recipe sounds different and delicious. I usually don’t use a ketchup or tomato sauce topping, and my family has been missing it. I’m definitely going to try your recipe the next time I make it. Thanks.

  12. This looks delicious! I love meat because it is so easy to make. It can be whipped up in no time. This reminds me that I haven’t had meat Loaf in a while, I will have to add this to my list for next week’s lunches. Thanks for sharing!

  15. I love Italian Meatloaf! That’s a good tip about using gloves to mix the meat together. I usually remove my rings before mixing and I’m always afraid of misplacing them so that would help. Where did you get your loaf pan with a strainer. I need to get one of those.

  16. We just made a very similar recipe for meatloaf this weekend and my husband said it was the best meatloaf he has ever had. We typically have a lot of meatloaf left since my husband is really the only one that likes it so last night I crumbled up the leftover meatloaf and used it to make a Sheppard’s pie.
