meat loaf recipe?

Question

I am looking for a meat loaf recipe using oatmeal NOT bread or cracker crumbs and that is NOT tomato/ketchup/bbq sauce base/topping. Thanks

Answer 1

You can substitute any meatloaf recipe. If it calls for 1/2 c. crushed cracker crumbs, just use 1/2 c. oatmeal instead.

As for the topping--you can leave that off totally. I make a great meatloaf that has ketchup IN it, but not ON it, and you really can't taste the ketchup that's baked in. If it's a tomato allergy, you can substitute with something else. A little bit of milk, a small bit of chicken broth, etc. Or, you can just leave it out totally. The top of the meatloaf is naked. I'll post it below, and you can substitute accordingly if you want to use it. Everyone who has eaten it raves about it and wants the recipe. :)

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup crushed buttery round crackers (OR oatmeal!)
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup ketchup (or chicken broth, beef broth, milk, etc.)
2 tablespoons steak sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, stir together ground beef, crushed crackers, cheddar cheese and onion soup mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, stir together eggs, ketchup and steak sauce until smooth. Stir the egg mixture into the beef mixture, adding a little water if necessary. Shape into a loaf and place in a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Bake in preheated oven 45 to 60 minutes, until no longer pink.

My kids beg me to make this meatloaf & any leftovers are gone the next day! If I'm out of crackers, I just use breadcrumbs, crushed chips, oatmeal - whatever I happen to have on hand. 2 1/3 cups coarsely crushed soda crackers (1 1/2 tubes from package) 2 pounds lean ground beef 1/2 pound ground sausage 1 large egg 2 medium onions, chopped 1 medium green bell pepper, minced 3/4 cup ketchup plus 1/4 cup for the top 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Preheat the oven to 325 F. In a heavy-duty, plastic food-storage bag, place the crackers, seal, and roll over with a rolling pin until crushed but not powdery. In a large bowl, with clean hands, mix together all the ingredients except the 1/4-cup ketchup for the top. Mix thoroughly but lightly, being careful not to pack the meat too much. Place in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan and shape into a loaf. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil. Spread the top of the loaf with the 1/4-cup ketchup. Bake, uncovered, another 60 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Makes 10 Servings.

Answer 3

I make meatloaf without any of the mentioned liquids. I also sometimes throw in rice with the oatmeal. Use meduim hamburg so that it isn't to dry and an egg, put in spices of your choice to taste ie: Italian seasoning, cumin, garlic salt or powder etc, etc - any spice you like. Don't forget about onions or even use the spice or flakes and real garlic is usually better. I also use worchestire sauce and/or soya sauce and maybe a little hot sauce. I don't measure so it depends on how much meat you use and as I said - to taste. Sometimes what is good is put a cream soup on top, like cream of mushroom or celery or the cheddar cheese. Another excellent recipe is the Uncle Ben's Stuff and Such Country Style flavour and the recipe is on the back. A good recipe website is www.allrecipes.com, I have tried a few recipes from there that are good and there is tonnes of them. Good Luck!

I like to mix up my meatloaf when I am ready to put it into the loaf pan, I only put in 1/2 of the meatloaf mix. Then I make a little well in the meatloaf and fill it with cheese all kinds, American cheddar Italian cheese what ever I have on hand. Put the rest of the meatloaf over the cheese and press well to contain cheese. After cooking allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes before cutting, it will taste really good. I like to put either gravy or tomato sauce on it hope you will try this it's great. have fun cooking!
