I finally tried putting powdered ranch dressing in to a meatloaf after seeing years of commercials to do it for burgers. It works! First I saw many varieties of the Ranch powders so I tried one with a Mexican flair to it. Threw in an egg and some Italian bread crumbs, some Cajun seasoning, thyme, Durkees Six Pepper Blend and paprika, salt and pepper and a little curry style ketchup. What came out was the best meatloaf I have had in many moons and this off the cuff concoction will make great meatballs.

I am convinced there is nothing you cannot put in meatloaf that you like that won't turn out favorable for you. That said, I have done the ranch thing but I cannot say I really liked it. Ranch is not my favorite flavor profile anyway.
Sounds great. I've been having this insane craving for a good meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy but with it being so dang hot outside I don't like too eat too heavy.
I ran across a meatloaf cupcake recipe, basically a meatloaf but cooked as cupcakes instead of a loaf. Has anyone tried this before and was is good or would you stick to a loaf?
Whenever I make meatloaf, I grate five or six carrots into the mix. Great way to get more veggies. Wonderful moistening properties. I like your idea about Ranch seasoning -- salt rocks.

Just saw and bought a packet of Wishbone powdered ITALIAN dressing, so tonight we dine ala Italiano meatloafo..........I tell you how it came out.
It's much better cold, as a sandwich.I have never made a meatloaf in my life..
And I don't intend to..:shock:

Oh, it's around, here and there: Rustic French Meatloaf Recipe at Epicurious.comIt's an American thing...the rest of the world doesn't do ''meatloaf''....
You are not alone but I like it, as long as it's cold. I grew up on it as well.Speaking as one who literally grew up on the stuff when my folks were young and dirt poor - I wouldn't touch meatloaf with a ten foot pole now. :mrgreen:
