Today I made another meatloaf and for the bread crumbs I used
OroWheat "DOUBLE FIBER" bread, it has 6 grams of fiber in each slice.
What I really liked about this bread, is after I wet it, then squeezed it out, it really crumbled into small pieces nicely.
The other bread I have been using seemed to turn more into a doughy
sticky stuff, and didn't tear into little pieces near as easy.
The meatloaf turned out really good, and I will be using the OroWheat double fiber bread from here on out.
Good meat loaf making to all,
Harry

We just use rice bran. Cheaper than toasting and crumbling our gluten-free bread. It's another option for the fiber lovers out there.

I'm almost positive that your efforts to make a "healthy meatloaf" has violated several laws of nature! Whats next..."diet ice creme"?

My two tried and proven favorite fillers are oatmeal or instant rice. Both will soak up a lot of flavor without collapsing.

Thank you for the tip! I have always used the bread crumbs from the "box", but it is always nice to know another method.
My favorite meatloaf recipe is the one on the Liptons Dry Onion Soup pkg. I add more ketchup and slather the top with ketchup too.
My Mom used to make a meatloaf using condensed cheddar cheese soup and stuffed green olives. I should look for that recipe.
Thanks again.

Another thing that works to make a really good meatloaf is Grapenuts--the cereal.

This is about the ONLY way I make meatloaf now and it's really easy AND good. All your seasonings are in the Stove Top Stuffing. Only takes minutes to make. It turns out firm and slices easy for serving or leftovers.
1 1/2 to 2 lbs. ground turkey or ground beef
2 eggs, beaten
1 box Stove Top Stuffng - chicken flavor
1 cup water
1/4 cup BBQ sauce or catsup
place all ingred. in bowl and blend; shape into loaf in large loaf pan. Can top with additional catsup or BBQ sauce if you like. Bake 350 for an hour or until done.

My secret meatloaf ingredient is a tube of Townhouse Crackers! They give a good buttery flavor and a nice texture.
I always make about a 4lb meatloaf (for just me!). I slice and freeze individual portions wrapped in tin foil with about half of it. Then when I want a meatloaf sandwich or dinner I just pop a portion in the microwave. It freezes VERY well! But leftover meatloaf is always better.
