[@grantritchey7509]

Let's face it. I've read most of the comments, and welcome the nuances, the personal prefences we all have. We all love Meat Loaf! Decorate it how you will. Now let's get down to it . . . . . . .... What we all love is Nicole and her unique way of talking and showing us cooking stuff. I'm a home cook, quite open to new things. I'm now 87 and in love with Nicole. And so are you.

[@elainegoldman4222]

I just discovered Nicole on youtube last night - I am hooked!

[@nicolenicole3832]

Nicole is the best at sharing real food recipe’s that many can make and family friendly. Love the added story tid bits sprinkled through the recipe.

[@perf5th]

I tried this recipe tonight and my goodness that meatloaf was full of flavor!! My wife who usually make the meatloaf was impressed!! This is a keeper!!!

[@lynnnelson6689]

Now you are a keeper.

[@JackieOgle]

I use only ketchup on the top. Alot!! I also use ketchup in it. Celery, onions, carrots sometimes but usually celery and onions..Garlic too. I 've NEVER used oats either. Just not sure why. I use seasoned bread crumbs too but my favorite is a sleeve of crushed saltines. Sub milk for some half n half. This recipe looks amazing. I love to eat meatloaf cold as leftovers! Don't heat it, no sandwich just cold on a plate! Sometimes I make 5 lbs of meatloaf and everyone loves it so much, we have sometimes don't have much left! It's crazy! Same with mashed potatoes! Lol... Love this channel!! The best ideas, recipes and twists on dishes. Absolutely love it! That's cooking to me. Switch it up. Use different things. Try new ways. Get new ideas. You are an amazing cook. Again, so happy to have found your channel. Watched the sheet pan video! Genius! I love ONE pan, ONE skillet, pot meals.. 😊

[@barbaracunningham3968]

I chopped some of the leftover into chunks and add to spaghetti sauce instead of meatballs. Amazing.

[@katydudeus9278]

Love her! I use homemade Mac and Cheese with stewed tomatoes as a side for our meatloaf. Everyone loves it and there is usually just a small amount left.

[@LM-pm2ir]

When is Food Network going to give you your own show …. you are simply amazing - who is very knowledgeable and passionate about your cooking. Thank you

[@sheryl7837]

I really enjoy Nicole’s recipes and watching her prepare them. Good solid how to tips, too. Gotta say that the last frame was pretty funny when a spot of ketchup landed on her white tee shirt. Good color choice! 🤣

[@mary-jeanslaughter8]

My parents are disabled so I make freezer meals for them. Meat loaf is Daddy's fav!!!!😀 He always has me make him a special loaf just so he can have meatloaf sandwiches!!!!!

[@rachelr3230]

Sweet daughter!

[@LillyR539]

I agree meatloaf sandwiches are great❤

[@bender7565]

The 1st time I ever saw anything concerning the beloved meatloaf sandwich. I have meatloaf cooking now, I will try your version Sunday, it isn't close to best but it does look tasty. When there was leftover meatloaf mom made a sandwich of toast, Miracle Whip, mustard and her meatloaf for breakfast before school. A fav of mine 60 yrs ago and it triggers wonderful memories but for a simple sandwich it is pretty darn good

[@prairiepalmetto9378]

When my son was little I cubed the leftovers and gently heated then in pasta sauce. Add sketti and BOOM! Little boy heaven.

[@earlinejackson8151]

Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green peas! ETA, leftover meatloaf sandwiches, cold, with Miracle Whip, on hearty grains and seeds bread, yum!

[@pegd8941]

Nothing beats a cold meatloaf sandwich for breakfast the next day, thank you for sharing

[@allrecipes]

You got that right!

[@pennypedersen6205]

That's my husband !! 🤣

[@debiwillis9045]

Nope...gotta be panfried!

[@F35_JSF]

My favorite chef on the planet. Thanks Nicole !!

[@roxannehawes555]

I grew up using crushed saltines, but have used oats, corn flakes, & now use the seasoned crumbs. I also make tomato gravy. It's always smooth! Just make gravy as always but add ketchup. Really good.

[@debrabeier588]

My family always had meatloaf on Friday so we could have cold meatloaf sandwiches for lunch on Saturday. My husband was appalled that we did not pan fry our meatloaf and serve hot sandwiches. He said my mother didn't love us 😂. I'm 70 and I still eat it cold the next day.

[@gwadkarukera]

I can do this. You made it so easy for me!! Yes please use your beautiful hands the Lord gave you 💕💯

[@denicesanders4586]

I use Stove Top Stuffing, usually turkey... more seasoning, for my binder in meat loaf.

[@donnamullins2089]

Love meat loaf. I use V-8 juice for the liquid. Makes it so tender and juicy. Meatloaf sandwiches with mayo for me. Delicious.

[@catherinecook9260]

Love, love Nicole easy going, sensible words of wisdom! Recipes are bonus👍🏻

[@patriciadelamarter3604]

I make mini meatloaves usually. Just enough for 2. But this video clip reminds me how I love the leftovers. The next time I make meatloaf it’s definitely gonna be bigger one. And I fully agree, you must have mashed potatoes with meatloaf! I have done my meatloaf, a couple times and put my favorite barbecue sauce on top. And that was enjoyable, for a switch up , but I would not want to do that every time.

[@bathens4971]

My mom used a supermarket-made package of 1/3 each: ground beef, pork, and veal. I can never find something like that where I live, so I just use 1/3 pork and 2/3 beef, and pretty much everything else you do. I'll take meatloaf any day over steak!

[@jamesbaker7780]

That plate makes my heart happy also. I always make around a 4 pound loaf just so there are left overs. Meatloaf sandwich? Yes please Thank you.

[@wagonwheeldc]

I am making meatloaf next week just for the leftovers . Saw you on FB and went to you tube because I always try new meatloaf receipts. Happy 22 to you and family

[@annzamora6943]

I use 2 Slices of bread & I soaks it on milk. The I make 3 oversized patties. It makes it thinner so it Cooks faster & it makes it so tasty. I cook it on a sheet pan with parchment paper. They it it's amazing.

[@davidnixon5832]

spot on nicole...loaf pan always...AND sammiches until it's all gone...no freezing leftovers for this boy...

[@barbaracole4314]

Looks really good, gotta try it. I've always used oats too and baked potatoes, they take the same time to bake

[@mariagauvin5491]

Love you Nicole! FYI I grate 1 carrot into mine and chop up mushrooms and sometimes add mushrooms soup as the binder. Honey your sandwich had me salivating! Having meatloaf for dinner and your your yummy sandwich for lunch tomorrow!

[@BORIEGARD]

How did you get the meatloaf out of the pan, with out messing up the topping? Great video by the way.

[@gwenb4531]

My heart is happy that the yellow/orange pieces are peppers and not carrots!! I will try that recipe.

[@milome305]

Meatloaf is my favor. I will try your way. Yum!!!! I Love the ketchup sauce. I can't way to try it . I think that's the icing on the meatloaf in this case.

[@tomsparks6099]

Mushrooms is a must in mine. I like the vinegar addition to ketchup topping. Sweet and sour.

[@Melanie-ix4nq]

I wish I didn't have a tomato allergy at my age, I thought I would have outgrown that by now. I would make all of Nicole's recipes. They look amazing!

[@alenemarie]

I’m sorry, but my daughter says I make the best meatloaf in the world, lol! This looks delicious! FYI- As a single mom trying to get dinner together quickly, I found that making mini-meatloaf in a cupcake pan worked well. It cuts the baking time down by about half, which is great when everyone is starving. ❤

[@thomasstone7207]

Nicole is not only a damn good cook but also ... Human. Will try this next time but I usually wrap mine in bacon 🥓

[@rachelr3230]

Bacon u say! 🤔

[@vivandav67]

Nicole is my new fave person..adore her!

[@markmcdowell231]

I ate meatloaf as a kid and still love it to day , looks like a very great recipe .

[@laurieg2436]

I love meatloaf!!!! I love a meatloaf sandwich with Mayo and BBQ sauce salt and pepper!!!

[@catherinecook9260]

I love leftover meatloaf, grill slice w butter n garlic in pain n place on Texas toast! Yum

[@mikel3419]

Oh Wow? The ciabatta bread sandwich is brilliant. Going in now to make my meatloaf. Thanks

[@octobermourn]

Lol I just love watching her she always has good recipes and she so funny🥰

[@kimmielovesparis1]

Love these videos…and the ending - I do it every time. Especially when wearing white.

[@michaelgiordano2093]

I love your videos. You make cooking look so easy 😁👍👍

[@allrecipes]

Glad you like them!

[@alishaostrowski5250]

I thought the same thing. I love her style and the way she explains recipes ❤️❤️🍽️

[@tinalulumack378]

Im.on a low carb diet so I substitute bread crumb with crushed BBQ Pork Rinds lol it is pretty good!!

[@pamyacuzzo6614]

Love the leftover sandwich even better! Yum! Love you Nicole!

[@watchingfromcali]

Wow…the CAMERA LOVES YOU! You’re the best. I’ll definitely be trying this recipe for sure. I’ve tried your instant Pot lasagna soup, DELICIOUS. Loved Loved Loved it!!!!!

[@aGirLnTX]

WHAT???? A Nicole video without a "perfect bite"??? I'm pretty sure you had at least two! Thanks for the tips. I'm definitely going to be trying them!

[@ellenhamilton2787]

Baked potato and sour cream is great too.

[@southbug27]

I could’ve told you a white tshirt doesn’t mix with any food with tomato. As a complete klutz, I speak from experience. Love your addition to the ketchup topping. It does need the ketchup, but just ketchup or ketchup with honey is not quite right or too sweet; I’m definitely taking that & some other tips here & mixing them in my Mom’s meatloaf recipe. Great job.

[@rachelr3230]

I'm doing this I cannottt possibly mess this up,lol!😋tfs such a wonderful easy delicious looking recipe!😋

[@DariaAmato-wz2xg]

Well we never had meatloaf baked with ketchup. There was always brown gravey made from the pan drippings. So yes to the mashed potatoes with gravey. Leftover hot open faced meatloaf sandwiches with the gravey all over. Or cold meatloaf sandwiches for lunch. Yum!

[@angeline3194]

I have got to try this recipe. I have never tried meatloaf (I'm from Scotland) but keep seeing recipes pop up here and there. So I am going to try this on my family. Wonder if it will be 👍 or👎 from them......? 😆😂 thank you for the recipe.....wish me luck 😉 xx

[@Melidontcare]

Love you ! I hate shrinkage too..

[@robinabner3118]

Use leftover meatloaf in marinera sauce. Delish!

[@GardeningGratitude]

My favorite addition is actually grated apple. 🍎

[@cherylb10]

Just love you. The meatloaf looks so good

[@JackieDannenberg]

I’ll thank you now. Great recipe tips !

[@dudleysmith5111]

Glad I’m not the only one that wears my food on my shirt! 🤪

[@dedesikorski2692]

I use a similar recipe with 70/30 meat and a loaf pan to shape the loaf, then cook in a skillet in the oven. Then, use the pan drippings to make meatloaf flavored gravy with mashed potatoes.

[@jmason61]

at 2:00 - great!

[@Cutie-loves-cupcake]

Yum yum yum? I love meatloaf and mashed potatoes myself it's truly comfortable food

[@sharinnadmello816]

Thanks for sharing your recipe. Please send the list of ingredients and quantity in the description box as well. Thanks.

[@Godschild52909]

Well. I'm Not a ketchup fan and never understood the need for sweet with savory...I know, I know. So...nikole I think I'm going to make your recipe, cutting the ketchup with balsamic and w sauce may be a win over for me 😉☺️

[@suzanne4504]

Yummy....thank you Nicole.

[@phoenix0477]

I'm going to be making this ASAP. Great video, great personality. love from Zaragoza.

[@goldie4245]

Love your attitude! I am trying this now. I had meat loaf mix. Since it is pork, beef and veal should I cook it longer? Loving your channel!

[@marthapetru2318]

You are so funny. I love the recipes you feature. Thank you so much 😊

[@peggyw172]

My mom put chili sauce on top of meatloaf or covered the top with bacon slices!

[@tammysims8716]

Looks yummy! Can't wait to make it for my family. Thanks!

[@allrecipes]

[@tessiethompson7303]

Going to try it. Yummy.

[@HLT646]

I like leftover meatloaf sandwich on white bread with mayonnaise and ketchup.

[@allrecipes]

So good!

[@diane8885]

When my kids were small, I used to use quick oats instead of bread crumbs. I would give them a couple of rounds in the food processor.

[@joanwalford1959]

Mmmmmmm. Mouthwatering.

[@catlady3396]

I love your show. Are you a culinary graduate??? Your so professional in your cooking.

[@PeachesCourage]

Nicole looks soo much like my Sister? ( my Sister is a High School teacher ) She could be her twin Love these recipes though the Chips and other goodies is what got me here Yum!

[@laurieg2436]

One of my favorite foods!!

[@raydonica6723]

Looks delicious.

[@ewalker1057]

Sautee veggies in olive oil first and let it cool. Like the idea of mixing everything before adding the meat. I sometimes over mix.

[@cedricbrachet9019]

OMG, that's too good ! I've replace bell pepper by carrot because I can't bear them.

[@toniastudstill595]

My my that is a great looking sammich!

[@sofiaserrano1712]

Que rico pastel de carne y en bocadillo mucho mejor.

[@jillmonroe3822]

I made this and didn’t have Worcestershire sauce so I used a little Liquid Smoke mixed with a little balsamic vinegar and OMG… literally the best meatloaf in the history of my life.

[@davidk4682]

Amazing!!!!! You rock !!

[@AKD822]

My mother never topped meatloaf with any sauce. And she used a sausage/hamburger combo. I was not a fan. As an adult I use a glaze, and no sausage. But my son and husband like a meatloaf that is 2/3 hamburger with 1/3 sausage. Still, I just don't like sausage in my meatloaf. And I love watching Nicole

[@ceceliahudson4467]

My different touches are: 1 lb. each of Ground Beef, Ground Pork & Ground Turkey. BBQ Sauce is in the mix w/2 T. Ketchup. Everything else is the same. Family devoured it! Nicole is made for these vids!

[@camiec7383]

Looks delicious 😋

[@pennypedersen6205]

LOVE THAT SANDWICH 🥪 😋 😍!!!

[@candiswest9029]

Can’t wait to try

[@maryw6835]

Looks yummy, thank you!! :)

[@richardreyes5498]

I like to mix 50/50 catsup and bbq sauce on the top 😋

[@deniseheafey1038]

Looks delicous Nicole👌just like the easy way I make it as well, I add chopped fresh mushrooms😋

[@janelacher9234]

Now I am really really hungry for meatloaf!!
