    • About This Recipe

    “When cooking for ourselves alone, we tend not to indulge in the comfort food of family-sized meals such as meatloaf. We’re intimidated with thoughts of leftovers or of breaking down recipes for a single portion. This recipe will give you one dinner and perhaps a sandwich or enough to share with a friend.”

  • ” I made this this morning and had a couple of slices for lunch. I used ground chicken, lovely moist yet firm loaf.Just right flavour Thanks for posting this handy recipe Gingerbee. — Mar 24, 2002, 2 ADDED COMMENTS: I made this again and used very fine minced white meat turkey, I beat if well so the texture was almost smooth – It came out just the way I wanted – just like a Bavarian Meatloafagain thanks – hope you like the pictures (Oh I doubled the recipe)”

  • “I made this for supper and it was perfect for just me. It’s different from my usual meatloaf recipe but I really liked it. I’ll make it again!”

  • “Was a little leery after reading one review wherein the reviewer didn’t like the texture, but went ahead and made it anyway.Loved it!After I make it two or three more times I’ll experiment a bit, pretty sure I’ll add some onions.Btw, thought the texture was great.”

  • “Well since my SO wasn’t home on 10/21/07,I made this for my dinner.(I only get meatloaf when he’s out of town)I followed the recipe exactly,which is something I rarely do;).There was just “something not right”about the taste and texture.I’m sorry but I really don’t think this will be made again.”

  • “Delicious. A thought: this may or not be for you but, you can take any meat loaf recipe that intrigues you and make 4 mini loaves (per 1 lb meat) and just cook for about 1/2 the time, they freeze very well too. I’m single, and that’s what I do. :)”

  • “Not sure what to make of this: I’m not a big meatloaf maker, but this seemed like a good try. My husband liked it, but it just wasn’t quite my taste. Very moist, though. Thanks anyway!”

  • “Great basic recipe added a little breadcrumbs , minced onion and italian season/ St.-Remy rub ( rosemary,basil, savory, marjoram,fennel seed lavenser) thanks for the start “

  • “made this for dh last nite, he loved it!i actually doubled the recipe, he’s having it for lunch right now!i used regular ketchup in the mix but topped it with curry ketchup.also added some chopped onions, & substituted celery salt for the garlic powder since he’s not fond of garlic.this recipe is a keeper!much easier than i imagined! “

  • “After reading all the high reviews, I guess I expected more from this recipe. Followed the recipe exactly except forgot the catsup on top and perhaps that made big a difference. I just did not care for either the taste or the texture of this meat loaf.”

  • “Yummy!I like the fact that there was very little prep work.Only gave it a four because I like added some type of fresh veggies to my dishes such as onions, etc. Will make again.”

  • “We love meat loaf and like trying different recipes.This one is a keeper,\.Really nice flavor and like small size for two of us.”

  • “This was wonderful.I actually used 1 lb. of meat and added a few more dash and pinches of everything, also added a tiny bit of chopped onion, turned out great, will be a staple recipe from now on in my house.Thanks!”

  • “Being a poor college student, I couldn’t get about half of the ingredients.However, even with only an egg and some onion, with ketchup on the side, it tastes great!”
