A Christmas Story Meat Loaf image

I've watched the film "A Christmas Story" so many times since I was a kid. Now I have a family of my own, so I re-created the mom's meatloaf and mashed potatoes. -Christina Addison, Blanchester, Ohio

I made this meatloaf for my family and they all loved it! The glaze was a little too sweet for my taste, but everyone else seemed to enjoy it. I will definitely be making this again, but I will probably cut back on the sugar in the glaze.

This meatloaf was easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This meatloaf was a little too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I will add some more moisture next time, maybe some grated vegetables or a can of tomato soup.

This is the best meatloaf recipe I have ever tried! It is so easy to make and always turns out perfectly. I love that I can make it ahead of time and it still tastes great.

This meatloaf was a hit with my family! It was moist and flavorful, and the glaze gave it a nice caramelized crust. I will definitely be making this again.
