I tried meatloaf recipes from Ina Garten, Ree Drummond, and Rachael Ray, and the best one beat the Barefoot Contessa's

I decided to compare meatloaf recipes from three celebrity chefs.

• I tried meatloaf recipes from Ina Garten, Ree Drummond, and Rachael Ray to see which was best.
• Garten's meatloaf was simple and easy to make, but Drummond's dish was a bit overwhelming.
• Ray's recipe was the best because it tasted like a Thanksgiving dish with my favorite fall flavors.

I love family-sized meals that provide enough leftovers for my husband and me — but somehow, I'd never made meatloaf before.
