You can add diced onions or shredded cheese to your meat loaf to add a little extra flavor.

along with the onions I add some shredded carrot about 1/4 cup, 1/4 cup ketchup,some bread crumbs,1egg, 1/4cup milk, 1tbs mustard,1tbs salt ,couple shakes of pepper.If you like you can lay a few strips of bacon on top. Never used a packet,what kind? tell us how it comes out, always looking for new reciepes.

There are several things you can add to meatloaf to give it different flavors. Try adding horseraddish(fresh if possible), how about jalepenos or mabe pesto. Any flavors added will be good. Just don' t ruin it by smothering it in catsup.

hunt on hunt hard eat well

Here' s mine...
2 lbs hamburger, 2 cups fresh bread crumbs (4 slices), 3/4 c onion, 1/4 c green pepper, 2 eggs, 2 Tblspn horseradish, 2&1/2 t salt, 1 tsp dry mustard, 1/4 c milk, 1/4 c ketchup. Combine thoroughly, shape into loaf, put in shallow baking dish, spread 1/2 c ketchup on top. Bake 50 minutes at 400 degrees.

Hot sauce spices up a meat loaf nicely.

Also, and this sounds weird, you can add a couple boiled eggs. Just boil them before you cook the meat loaf and then put them in the middle before cooking...peeled. When you slice the meat loaf, it looks really cool, and tastes good too.
