Growing up I always looked at meatloaf as being a big chunk of hamburger meat that was shaped into a rectangle and smothered in ketchup. At times my mom would torture us and put tiny bits of onions in the mix that were near impossible to pick out. Since that time, I have feared the meatloaf and have pretty much stayed away from it until I was lucky enough to win a Healthy Solutions Spice Blends prize pack!
The first spice blend packet that I chose to use was the Savory Meatloaf. Since my experience with meatloaf had not been a good one growing up, I thought I should give it another try, especially since this seasoning packet looked incredibly fresh. When I opened the Savory Meatloaf Spice Blend packet the smell was absolutely delicious and the color of the spices were beautiful.
- 1 1/2 lbs lean hamburger meat
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup dried bread crumbs
- 1 pack of Healthy Solutions Savory Meatloaf mix
- dash salt and pepper
- 1 to 2 tbsp of brown sugar
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Combine all ingredients, except for the brown sugar
- Mix well
- Prepare a square loaf pan
- Shape mixture into pan
- Bake uncovered for 55-60 minutes
- Meat thermometer should read 160 degrees or when middle is no longer pink (that is my method)
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with brown sugar
When my Savory Meatloaf was finished baking, I removed it from the oven and let it sit for around 10 minutes. Since I use the Perfect Meatloaf Pan, I can easily remove the meatloaf to a separate dish so that the meatloaf will not sit in its own grease. As the meatloaf is sitting for those 10 minutes I prepare the meatloaf topping. Some households use ketchup as the topping but since I have a brilliant husband who came up with his own meatloaf topping I will never use ketchup again. The meatloaf topping is simple to make and has no ‘exact’ recipe and can be made to taste. Here is my husband’s recipe: Mix 2 oz of ketchup, 1 oz mustard, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 squirt of agave, dash of salt and pepper and a dash of chili powder. Squirt the mix onto the top of the Savory Meatloaf and enjoy. Along with the amazing Healthy Solutions Spice Blends and with the meatloaf topping, I promise that you will never look at meatloaf the same again!

Looks delicious!
I wish I liked meatloaf more. This sounds amazing.
Always great to find a way to mix things up when it comes to meatloaf! I don’t make it too often but this looks like something I would definitely try.
Meatloaf isn’t my favorite but even I can get behind this dish! Looks savory.
Oh man, now I want a meatloaf! I don’t have agave, I wonder would sugar work in your husband’s topping?
Actually, I think I do have some agave on top of the fridge unless it got thrown out. This would be a good way to try it.
Ha ha… I was going to say.. try honey.. if the Agave is old.. I love Agave..
This looks amazing. Meatloaf is a favorite at our house.
I haven’t made meatloaf in a while. Adding to my menu!
Meatloaf if my jam. Honestly, it is one of my favorite foods. I would love to try making it with this meatloaf blend.
Oh how I love meatloaf! This looks absolutely delicious! Yum
My oldest has a huge aversion to meatloaf so she would probably love it if I got some of this instead. And leave the ketchup off of her portion, LOL.
This is a family favorite and one of my favorite fall/winter dishes because it’s so hearty. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
I would love to try this. My mom used to put an egg in the middle, and the sauce she used wasn’t great. I have to make my own and learn from her mistakes, starting with your recipe!
This looks like something my husband would love. He’s the big meatloaf fan in the family. I love that there’s a seasoning mix for it!
Meat loaf is one of our favorite meals. My hubby can make a mean meatloaf. This meatloaf pan would be a perfect holiday gift for him.
Mmm, that certainly looks delicious! And thank you for sharing your recipe for the sauce! I just use ketchup, but not again! x
I haven’t had meatloaf in years. I also have never made it myself. I will have to try this I loved meatloaf as a kid.
Yum! I totally love meatloaf! I’m definitely going to have to make this for dinner this week 🙂

Is it weird I’ve never made a meatloaf? I have culinary proficient aunts, so I’ve never had to! Gonna have to save this for when they can’t save me!
Yum! This looks fantastic with all of those spices blended perfectly. I love the meatloaf pan too! I need to order one of those for myself. My family loves meatloaf.
I’ve always heard of meatloaf but never had really seen what it looked like or how it is cooked. This is not something we cook in the Dominican Republic but I see that it is very common in the United States.
Even though I’m a super healthy eater, meatloaf is totally one of my weaknesses! This spice blend sounds delicious.
I am not a meatloaf fan but my husband loves it. This sounds good so I may give it a try.
We love meatloaf here but don’t have it very much. I love onions and other veggies in it so that it’s not just a chunk of meat. I’ve never been one to top it with ketchup either.
Oh! This meatloaf is calling my name with a side of ranch mashed potatoes and green beans!
I love meatloaf! It’s definitely one of my all time favorite home cooked meals!

Oh my how delicious. I want meatloaf now for dinner.
I want this pan. We already own the brownie one and use it all the time, but have not purchased this one yet. We just might have to though! The meatloaf looks good also. I love meatloaf.
You have to get this pan!! It makes meatloaf so much more awesome! The meat does not soak in that nasty nasty grease.. I love my pan and they are not expensive at all! I love the As Seen on TV products!
We love meatloaf here at our house and hubby actually made it last weekend. I’ll have to share this recipe with him.
I was like you when I was growing up I hated meatloaf. But once I went away to college, I learned to love it.
I have not had the best luck making meatloaf in the past. I will have to try this recipe. It looks fairly simple to make.
I love meatloaf, especially in the fall and winter months. I will have to try your recipe! The only draw back to meatloaf is the time it take to cook, but my family loves it in the rotation!
Meatloaf is the one meal that nobody in my family agrees on, we all like it a bit different. I will try this one- I am still trying to find one that makes everyone happy.
I promise you , with this spice.. it is amazing!
My family loveeeees a good meatloaf. This one sounds delicious!
Oh brown sugar? Yes I have to try this. The men in house will love this meatloaf
Meatloaf is a perfect dish for a cool fall night. That looks delicious!
I have never tried meatloaf – how bad is that! I will have to get my baking hat on. x
I never liked meatloaf growing up but it seems so savory! Will have to try it again.
Yum! Huge meatloaf fans here my whole clan loves it! I shall try this!
Funny how we pass down meatloaf recipes from preceding generations. My mom always made a pineapple meatloaf that I make to this day.
I LOVEEE meatloaf.. especially with some pinto beans and mashed potatoes. Yours looks absolutely delicious.. (I wanna bite, lol)
I don’t put many spices in my meatloaf. I think I should start – looks delish!
Looks delish! It’s been too long since I’ve made a meatloaf – thanks for the reminder!
This looks great. I love meatloaf, I just hate how long it has to cook!
My mom and grandmother would make meatloaf at least once a week. I don’t make it nearly that often but your post is going to encourage me to put it back into rotation. Our family loves a good meatloaf.
We love Meatloaf, I am lucky my daughter only likes it when I put vegetables in it 🙂
My mom has this killer recipe for meatloaf and I never liked it until I was older. It used to be torture when I was a kid and now I can’t get enough.
Such a great idea for those crazy weeknights when you’re trying to get out the door to whatever sports activity happens that evening!
I always love eating meatloaf! You can make it in all types of ways. Pinning for later.
Meatloaf is a family favorite in our home. My husband has put in a request for me to make one soon. Your recipes sounds quite yummy! Pinning 🙂
My husband is the BEST at making a meatloaf. When I make it, it’s just a lump of meat LOL Gonna try my hand at it again and see what happens…
Oh I lurve meatloaf! Especially with mashed potatoes. Now I’m starving for some comfort food! 🙂
Happy Friday!
