Do you prefer flour or bread crumbs in meatloaf?

[mildreddavis1]

I prefer to make my meatloaf with flour and one egg, but I have some family members that prefer bread crumbs. If you are a meatloaf maker, which do you prefer? I love trying new and exciting ways to cook.

I prefer bread crumbs with flour meatloaf becomes too sticky and gummy inside. It's just not a good idea. Here's a tip, for more flavor add diced onions chopped parsley and two tablespoons per pound of steak sauce and a little powdered garlic the taste will explode.

I prefer to use bread crumbs in my meatloaf.   Actually, I toast the bread then crumble it up and put it in the meat mixture.   I also use onion salt instead of onions.  (I'm the only one in the family that likes onions)

I prefer to use rice.

I prefer baked bread crumbs! I know it takes longer but so yummy!

Taking after my mom I put crackers in meatloaf.  I crush up one full pack of salty crackers and use that.
I add some egg and milk and ketchup, salt and pepper.  Mine is not as good as mom's but it's pretty good.

I only use breadcrumbs.  That's how mom taught me so it never occurred to me that there might be another way.  I might have to give some of these suggestions a try.  I get into a rut with cooking I'm afraid.

  Bread crumbs, usually Italian .  But I like to use cracker crumbs the best, broken into large pieces so it has a little crunch in it.

I guess I'm the only one you uses oats.  I used to use either breadcrumbs or crushed crackers.  I've never tried flour before.

I still use oats in my meatloaf I like that kind the best.  I have used crackers  and I always go back to oats.

Same!

I've never tried flour before (or heard of it being used or listed in any recipe).
Breadcrumbs usually get used up on other things than meatloaf.
So, oatmeal if I'm being very cheap, crackers otherwise.
I also add in diced onion and tomato and sometimes throw in a can of some random veggie, but you have to watch out when loading it up, or it won't stay loaf shaped and be a lot harder to serve
To mix it up further, I like cheese and/or bbq sauce. Or burrito or taco seasoning added in. Also, a change in meat - turkey or part sausage will give a different flavor.
