This Paula Deen Meatloaf Recipe is one of my family’s favorites. If you are looking for a great old-fashioned, homemade meatloaf, that’s easy to make with great flavor, this is it.
I love Paula’s approach to simple easy home cooking. The problem is that, though tasty, most of her recipes are far from light or healthy.
This is the homemade meatloaf recipe I make most often these days. It comes from her original The Lady and Sons Savannah Country Cookbook (affiliate link). I love that it uses oats instead of bread crumbs and has a sweet ketchup based topping.
Meatloaf has long been a family favorite, and this combination is one I come back to again and again. It is moist and flavorful and so easy. If you like basic old-fashioned meatloaf you will love this one.
