I need a meat loaf cooking recipe?

Answer 1

I put slices of bread underneath meatloaf in pan to absorb extra grease and top the meatloaf with slices of bacon.

*Substitution: Use 1-1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs or 5 slices fresh bread, cubed.


SLOW COOKER METHOD: In slow cooker, arrange meat loaf. Cook covered on LOW 6 to 8 hours or HIGH 4 hours. (HELPFUL HINT...Place meat loaf on a piece of cheesecloth, then on a rack to help hold meat loaf together while lifting in and out of slow cooker.)

Mexican Meatloaf
1-1/2 lbs. ground round (or ground beef) 1 med. onion diced
3/4 c. breadcrumbs 1 tsp. granulated garlic
2 tsp. Lawry's Seasoned Salt 2 eggs slightly beaten
1-8 oz. can tomato sauce 1 can "Extra Hot" diced tomatoes
w/chili's, drained
Mix all ingredients except for 1/2 of the tomato sauce and form into
a loaf pan. Top with the remaining tomato sauce. Bake at 350 for 45
minutes or until done. I also use 1 small drained can of mushrooms in
the loaf because my husband likes them in about everything but they
are not necessary. As soon as I remove the loaf from the oven, I
drain off any excess grease from the loaf pan to keep it from
reabsorbing into the loaf.

Preparation time: 20 minutes to prepare, 1 hour to cook.

Why do I love meatloaf? It reminds me of being a kid. Where else does one get meatloaf other than at home or a school cafeteria? That and I often buy it already mixed at our fabulous local butcher. So all you have to do is add an egg and put it in a baking pan and plop it in the oven for an hour. But what if your butcher hasn't made up a batch? It's easy enough to make. Here's a recipe we use for traditional meat loaf. The ingredient that makes this meat loaf extra delicious is the spicy ground pork sausage. We once substituted this sausage for regular ground pork and have never looked back.

1 cup of finely chopped onion
1 celery rib, chopped fine
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 carrot, chopped fine
1/2 cup of finely chopped scallion (can substitute onion)
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 tsp salt (use 1 1/2 teas if using Italian sausage)
1 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 tsp Worscestershire sauce
2/3 cup ketchup
1 1/2 pounds of ground chuck
3/4 pound of spicy ground pork sausage (or use Italian sausage - 1 sweet, 1 hot)
(NOTE: many versions of meatloaf call for ground veal as well. I would experiment with a third each of beef, pork, and veal.)
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
2 large eggs, beaten slightly
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley leaves


Italian sausages.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large heavy skillet cook the onion, garlic, celery, carrot, and scallion in butter, over moderate heat, stirring, for about 5 minutes. Cover and stir occassionally until the carrots are tender, about 5 more minutes. Stir in salt and pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/3 a cup of ketchup. Cook for 1 more minute.

In a large bowl, combine the meats, eggs, bread crumbs, vegetables, and parsley. Form into a loaf and put into a retangular baking pan with 2 inch high sides. Cover loaf with remaining ketchup.

Bake meat loaf in oven for 1 hour.

Serves 4 to 6.

Answer 8

Here's a good quick and easy. 1 pd. ground beef, 1 egg ,1 packet Lipton onion - mushroom soup , and i find oatmeal actually works better in all my meatloaf recps. add some plain ol ketchup,shape into a loaf, make a lil trough in the center..not too deep and then sprinkle on a lil of the oatmeal squirt w/ some ketchup and bang.. it's a really good "cheat" recp.
Oatmeal doesn't take away from the flavor as much or tend to make it too dry
