I use Panko also called Japanese bread crumbs. They have a more coarse texture and seem to bind better in small amounts.
I like brown meatloaf, the red always seems too sweet to me. I am still working on a good recipe that doesn't make too much.
I love meatloaf! I find it's sort of a DIY type recipe. Just get the basic ingredients and add to it whatever you want. One of our favorites is mexican/taco style. Add to ground beef some chopped onion and bell pepper, a can of Rotel tomatoes, some bread or cracker crumbs, a packet of your favorite taco seasoning and an egg or two. Add salsa on the top and bake. It's delicious!

1-cup salsa
2 egg whites
2- slices of 45 calorie whole bread ( I put it in the blender to make it fine like bread crumbs)
