Restaurant-Style Meatloaf (No Bread Crumbs) image

This meatloaf is from the Chez Melange Restaurant in Redondo Beach, CA., and is definitely worth the extra steps. It has a wonderful mellow blend of flavors that makes it really taste like it came from a restaurant. It's unusual in that in doesn't use bread crumbs as a filler and this was done for the texture, years before the "low carb craze." I've frozen it both cooked and uncooked, and texture does not suffer.

This meatloaf is a little bland for my taste. I'll have to add some extra seasonings next time.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called 'restaurant-style'. It's nothing like the meatloaf I get at my favorite restaurant.

This meatloaf is a great way to use up leftover ground beef. It's also a very affordable meal.

I followed the recipe exactly, and my meatloaf turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This meatloaf was a total hit with my family! It was moist and flavorful, and the glaze gave it a beautiful crust. I will definitely be making this again.
