The texture to this loaf is not the same as when it is in the oven while it had good flavor I didn't care for the texture. I probably will not make it again. Read More

At first I thought this doesn't looks so good and I waited while my husband took the first bite. He loved it and wanted me to make more! I think it is one of his favorites now. The serving size is perfect with a small side. Great recipe for just the two of us. It was so easy and great to make after a long day at work. Thank you. Read More

I rocked this recipe with uber lean ground turkey instead of the white bread... I used the heal of some wheat bread and a couple of texas toast garlic crutons...I was outta green onions...so I used some french onion soup mix (just a pinch or so) which really popped this recipe... tasted great no lardy or greasy sludge with the use of ground turkey... this was so much fun and really easy...the best part I ate it right outta the mug...and it was really cold out so the mug warmed up my oh-so-frozen hands. THANK YOU Read More

This is a quick and easy recipe for meatloaf. I adjusted it for a pound of ground turkey and it worked well in 4 mugs (with some additional cooking time). I also added some spinach a green kick. Thanks! Read More

Really good but I made a lot of changes to make it healthier such as using multigrain instead of white bread and making it in a muffin tin instead of a mug. I also used less milk and one more small egg. In the future though I would probably add more bread or use leaner meat to reduce the amount of lardy residue that came out afterwards. Read More

This was a fantastic way to make meatloaf. With three kids under the age of 5 I love recipes that are quick and still resemble a real meal. I did make a few changes like adding thyme and basil. I also like my meatloaf with bread crumbs instead of white bread. In the end I would totally make this again. Read More

Fast easy and great taste. We don't eat white bread so I substituted wheat bread in one mug and rye bread in one mug. Both were excellent. Also used a Tbsp. of regular sweet onion in place of the green onion. Read More
