Pre-IP, I added some milk and quite a bit of catsup to meatloaf when mixing it up, and used oatmeal as the binder (along with an egg or 2). Now, I only use a couple of tablespoons of IP friendly catsup, and since using such lean grd beef (or turkey), I found adding either chicken or beef broth (IP friendly of course) instead of the milk helped keep it moist. In place of the oatmeal, I used grated cauliflower, so it helped me to get my veggies in as well. This worked so well, that I made a triple serving batch, and took it on a 2500 mile road trip last week for my evening proteins. It held together very well!
I don't measure at all when making old stand-bys that I've made all my life, so experiment with seasonings, etc. to find what you like.
