Yes, absolutly, the only big differance between a regular onion and a purple onion is that purple ones tend to be a little milder and sweeter.

Sure! Purple onions are a bit sweeter, but you won't notice any difference in your meatloaf.

sure. I don't see why you couldn't do that. They don't differ too much from white, which is usually used in meatloaf. They might be a little sweeter or milder; that's all I can think of. You probably won't even be able to tell once it's cooked. =)

I used red onions in my fajitas the other day, they turned gray but tasted fine. In a meatloaf though, they should look fine.

You can, they will cook quicker than the others, and probably give your meatloaf a little color. Onion powder is good as well.

Yes. It may end up a little sweeter, but will be just fine.

Yes, but be advised that when you cook them, they turn a really weird color. They taste fine, though.
