Millionaire’s Meatloaf Recipe (2024)

we all found this very tasty. I just made the meatloaf part and didn't do the chili shrimp at all. Lots of good flavor and very moist. My taste testers both loved it and said it was keeper. This was just a good recipe, next time I will double the thyme and add a bit more parsley, but it is good as written and I usually like to change recipes but this will stay as it is.

I too made this without the chili shrimp. The addition of the Dijon mustard was brilliant. Of note, the recipe called when combining the ground beef, eggs, etc. to 'mix well' then 'mix again' when adding the parsley, etc., then another mention to 'mix well until thoroughly combined'. Be careful as mixing your ingredients too much is a very common mistake that can really make for meatloaf with a tough, dry texture.

Excellent meatloaf recipe. Also didn't top with shrimp. Instead made basic ketchup//brown sugar/mustard glaze. Excellent recipe for meatloaf.

My family's favorite meat loaf recipe. I've been making it for years. It's very good on its own, without the croutons and shrimp

Made this meatloaf again tonight for the sixth or seventh time. It’s always a winner. The spicy shrimp on top are very easy and do add flair to the recipe. But I usually make it without. One difficulty I have is the loaf never holds together as a loaf. It doesn’t slice cleanly. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong as far as creating binding between the ingredients. Any suggestions?

Made this tonite exactly as written (minus the Shrimp). Amazing! Hesitated on the croutons but glad I used them. They added a great texture different from other meatloaf recipes. Will definitely be making it again. Only criticism is- how is this 4 servings? My family of three each had seconds and we have exactly half leftover for dinner tomorrow. Hope halving the ingredients doesn’t take anything away from its fabulousness.

We really enjoyed. Only thing I would do next time is add some kind of vegetable. Celery? Peppers? TBD.

I gave this two stars in hopes that another sucker won't fall for the undeserved 5 star rating. No this is not unpalatable. It's just an overly complex recipe for a mediocre product. I followed the recipe to a tee and used a thermometer for doneness. Croutons weren't a bad idea but if you're expecting delectable bits of crunchiness, you'll be disappointed. Not a fan of the BBQ sauce in this mix. There are better meatloaf recipes out there

I made this meatloaf according to the recipe but had to sub dried herbs. I thought it was really good but a bit sweet due to so many onions. I’ll use only one onion next time. I loved the croutons underneath, and made them according to the notes from leftover baguette. Probably will remove the croutons when I make cold meatloaf sandwiches.

Best meatloaf ever. Added a splash of Worcestshire, 4 pieces cooked bacon, chopped, and a generous handful of fresh parsley, leaves and stems, chopped, to the meat mix. Also added Worcestshire to the glaze. Very flavorful and moist--the scallions and fresh herbs add great freshness and the jalapeno a nice kick

I've never had a better meatloaf recipe ever...... My husband and I are both gourmet cooks and we actually ate this three nights in a row! That's completely unheard of in our house. I wouldn't change a single thing.

I made this with Beyond Meat “beef” and it was excellent. Because it comes in 1 lb. packages, I halved the recipe and baked in a loaf pan. Really terrific!

So this was oddly disappointing. Can’t quite put my finger on it although, after reading reviews that said it fell apart while slicing, I did add more bread. Was so excited to have it tonight and while it was ok, it just wasn’t memorable.

Flavor did not measure up to the name nor did it stay together for slicing.

My husband loved this meatloaf. I skipped the croutons and shrimp (who needs the extra bread, and didn't have any shrimp). It's a keeper. The horseradish gave it a little kick and I made a glaze using BBQ sauce and a little brown sugar and ketchup. Started at 425 for 10 minutes then down to 375 to finish cooking - ended up with a nicely browned loaf.

I generally do not leave comments or notes but man, oh man, this was a delight to make! It was pretty easy to assemble once you find all of the ingredients. I didn’t have croutons so I cubed some sliced bread and threw it in the air fryer while I sautéed the onion and garlic. I love the idea of cooking this on top of the croutons as they sop up all of the juices from the meat. I also didn’t make the shrimp due to the sake of time. This is definitely going to be a keeper!

Made this as written, there may have been more parsley and thyme as I eyeball vs. measure. FANTASTIC! I did heed warning and mixed until just barely incorporated at each step as to not over mix. I used a ciabatta crouton from a local market and it held up nicely against the juices of the meatloaf, almost was like a sponge to gather those caramelized bits around the edges. Next time, I would 86 the shrimp. While tasty, we felt that it didn’t add to the dish and was an unnecessary step.

Interesting and different meatloaf. Was very good but not as comforting as traditional with Ketchup. I think some of the ingredients here could be added to regular meatloaf and improve it, but overall this dish is reminiscent of prime rib and horseradish or Salisbury steak. I'm not going to make it often but I may make again.

So delicious and flavorful. I didn’t make the shrimp and I didn’t include the croutons. So thankful I found this!

Made gluten free and dairy free. Sub gluten free breadcrumbs and mix in well. Sub vegan greek yogurt for milk. Added a tbsp of Worcestershire (is it meatloaf w/o it?) and used a maple-flavored barbecue sauce for extra spicy sweet flavor. Husband loved it!

The meatloaf by itself is a fantastic quick & easy option. Made once as written, but the crouton crust doesn’t work for me, so I repeated with the following mods to great effect. A new staple!Add all ingredients to very large bowl and mix only once; up the fresh parsley & thyme; slightly up the fresh breadcrumbs; omit the croutons; top with a mix of Ketchup, BBQ sauce & brown sugar as suggested. Bake on foil lined cookie sheet; tilt the dish and drain some liquid.
