I love that you do a little quick rundown of the steps at the end so I don't have to go back to remember everything - every chef on youtube should do this!

Julia, I can’t thank you, and Bridget, enough for teaching me how to cook or at least get around in the kitchen. Much appreciated!!

This meatloaf is delicious! The family absolutely loved it. In fact, it is so good, this is the only meatloaf recipe we will make henceforth. Thank you Julia!!!

I like how the host of the show took the liberty of taking her jewelry off rings and such when preparing food some thing that is a big pet peeve of mine.

I love a good meatloaf. Nothing better than a meatloaf sandwich.

This looks absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Julia. Love watching you lovely ladies cook!

Looks amazing she’s so professional and a treat to listen to.

I always make my own tomato sauce from scratch. I make this in a 22 liters pot, YES 22 liters. When tomatoes get just right to the end of August or the start of September, I do it, taking the skin and seed off then browning the onions, carrots, celeries, and a lot of red peppers flakes, then the meat mostly beef with pork, once cook, I add my tomatoes, and a whole bunch of them, I've got around 4 to 5 pounds of meat, the tomatoes which I crush by hand, and let this go for a few hours. The 22 liters pot is almost full, just 1/2 cm off the top at the starting point. After cooking for 8 to 10 hours, I got back home or was home on a day off, tasting it to see if the spices were fine and adding a few spices if needed. This receipt never lasts a whole year, I usually 2 of them in a row, in the second receipt I always added a pork tenderloin in it so it cooks slowly for 8 to 10 hours. So the first day we eat the sauce with any kind of noodles, the second one we eat the pork tenderloin with vegetables and some sauce over it. that way my younger brother and I may have homemade tomato sauce for a whole year. IF I can control my brother for a while, otherwise this wouldn't last a whole year.

That looks absolutely delicious I can just smell it definitely going to try this recipe thank you so much

That looks wonderful I am definitely making this!

Meatloaf is my favorite. This looked great Julia!

This recipe is the bomb! I just made it tonight, and it was sooo good.

I have made this a couple of times and it is great.

Thank you so much for your wonderful recipe I am going to look forward to making this dish for my family…. You are a pleasure to watch and the way you describe how to make the recipe is magic….Thank you for making it so simple for us to follow…. I hope to get more of your recipes and it would be lovely to know your name… have a wonderful day 😜

I made it exactly as described it was spectacular! Making it again.

Love Julia, another winner. Thank You!

That looks beautiful and delicious 😋

Thank you! This looks YUMMY!

It looks amazing!

Made this and it’s delicious!!! Thank You.

This looks delicious! Love you ladies! 💜

I made this following recipe and was very good. Will for sure make again.

This looked fantastic

I never thought to pour sauce over meatloaf to bake. I mean it seems genius but super simple at the same time.

Looks amazing

This looks great!

Meatloaf is one of my favorites; I'm definitely making this recipe.....looks absolutely delicious!

We've always made ours with saucy tomato over it. Not Italian, but with salt and pepper. It mixes with the meat juices and is delicious over mashed potaoes, or half bakeds. We usually do the half bakeds with meatloaf. The sauce makes it!

I'm making that for supper tonight. It is really different from my usual recipe. Thanks

looks delicious . I’ll be trying this recipe for sure 👌😋

Never a fan of meatloaf but took a chance on this one. Absolutely delicious!

Can’t wait to make this!!

Can’t wait to make this!

you really can't beat this, iti s the best.

This is sooooo good! It’s a giant meatball loaf.

Yum yum!

Have to try this

Haven't made meatloaf in 3 years. This looks delicious enough to give it a go... and quite simple. I love mixed meats for this.

❤I will make this possibly today

Julia may I say you look fabulous! I’m sure this recipe will be just as marvelous!

I've always been a meatloaf lover and this one looks outstanding! Making it tonight 🥰

Looks great and pretty straight forward to make for the lazy cook like me.

I'm making this 😋

This meatloaf is go good. My husband smoked it a little before cooking it all the way. Such a great recipe. Our favorite so far. Thank you for this.

6:50 For those of us who don’t have an entire production team to clean up our kitchen, slicing the meatloaf in the casserole works just fine; otherwise, I can see why one would not give a second thought to soiling an entire wooden cutting board for all of 30-seconds-worth of slicing.

That looks delicious! I've added to next week's menu.

Looks good

Dang that looks good!!!🤤

Made it for dinner last night... absolutely fantastic. Packed with flavor, like a giant meatball. And the broiled cheese sends it over the top. The left-over sauce is going over pasta!

BEAUTIFUL MEATLOAF! Thank you Julia!

This may become a staple in my house! Yum!

thanks for adding actual captions for the Deaf

That looks wonderful. The sausage was a surprise.

Wow! Delicious. Followed recipe to the letter. Used fire-roasted crushed tomatoes.

I’m making this ASAP!!! Yum yum!

Deliciouso!

Any meatloaf will be hard-pressed to equal the one made by my wife, but this certainly looks worthy of a try.

THANKS :)

Yum

WOW!!

This looks interesting. Think I’ll try it for something different.

I made with marinara sauce from a jar, came out great

I’d love to get a job at ATK as a food taster. 😍

Julia, I love your hair. Looks so good on you.

Yumm

And a pile of mashed potatoes, covered in that tomato gravy. Can't wait to try this one.

As always ladies, delightful. Makes me want to get behind the stove.

Meatloaf needs a lot of help and I’ve been disappointed too many times. This recipe looks like a super tasty version I am going to definitely make.

I love that you used the proper term Panade for the mixture :)

years ago I won a meatloaf comp with spicy sausag, beef and sundried tomato, but looks tastsy!

Thought it was delicious! Am going to bake for Christmas instead of ham.

It's so good, like a giant meatball. It makes the best 'meatball' sandwiches but with one large slice of meatloaf instead of little meatballs. It's a much better meat to bread ratio and you don't have to worry about meatballs falling out of the sandwich anymore. :)

If you have left over sauce and meat for sandwiches, you can cook the sauce down and make tomato jam with it to spread on the bread. 😋😋😋

I never thought of using saltine crackers. I must try lol

That is also a great meatball recipe. Just toss the meatballs back in the saucepan.

Nice meatloaf !!!

A Great looking meatloaf. I could almost smell it though the screen. Hmm. Thank you for a delicious recipe.

I think I am going to cover the bottom of my pan with large, “cupside up” fresh mushrooms and put my meatloaf in those! Maybe scatter chopped fresh fennel around them to cook in the tomato sauce too.EDIT/Results. I cooked mine in a big round heavy chafing dish with a dome lid. I made a round meatloaf and since there was more space in the pan I surrounded it with carrots, mushrooms, whole peeled shallots and whole peeled cloves of garlic and lots of fresh Spicy Globe Basil. A bit of olive oil and salt and pepper on the veggies, and an extra 12 oz can of tomato sauce on the ring of vegetables first, then covered the meatloaf with sauce and proceeded per recipe. Wonderful, with a bonus of tender vegetables. Served with Italian green beans and plain pasta. Yes!!!

This was delicious!! I would love to know how many calories this recipe has?

I like those white handled long spatulas. Can you share the brand, size?

I’m loving your hair!

This meatloaf is as easy to make as it is delicious, I made no changes to recipe. I did take my time and removed all grease rendered from the meat into the sauce. Enjoy!

My dad loved meatloaf sandwiches. Now I’m crying. 😞😞😞😞😞

I make something similar but I use hot Italian sausage

So, you make meatloaf the same way I make meatballs.

Grazie mille. Sospetto che mia nonna sia seduta nella sua tomba. Non vedo l'ora di assaggiare questo polpettone!

only had rotelle....but it was still good...

Too many negative people. I think the meatloaf will be delicious when l make it.

Ricotta cheese to help clean up that leftover sauce on the plate

“Recipe down below” no ma’am that is a paywall

Looks nice but I would have gone for a more narrow dish so that the sauce infused into the meat and less cheese on top, I’ll try this today

Hi!

Ingredients 5 cloves of garlic 1 tbsp olive oil 15 oz can tomato sauce 28 oz can crushed tomatoes 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 red pepper flakes 35 saltines 3/4 cup whole milk 2 large eggs 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp gran garlic 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 1/4 red pepper flakes 2 oz grated parmesan (about 1 cup)

Similar to our meatball recipe of generations. The meatloaf is denser. We use a sleeve of crackers for 2lbs. beef and 1 lb. sausage. For variety, we tried the bread-soaked method for meatballs and they were too mushy. I know many like that; we don't. Happy to see that basil finally made an appearance at the end. Recently I saw an Italian meatloaf recipe with boiled eggs hidden inside. I'm going to combine your recipe with that idea and add molti funghi to the sauce. Thanks for the great video.
