Answer 2

I used to eat at a Hungarian restaurant that made a great meatloaf. They started off with pretty much the same meat mixture that you're probably using now and added some pieces of hard boiled egg (I've done it with and without the egg - if you do put them in, don't over mix the meat) they put some kielbasa - or "Polish" - sausage (1 and 1/2 inch diameter) down the length of the meatloaf in the middle. When you slice it, you get a cross section of the sausage. Sometimes, they made it with dill pickle spears, too

Best Meatloaf

3 pounds lean ground beef

3 eggs
1 cup catsup

1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt to taste

Bake at preheated 350 degrees until meat thermometer registers 170 degrees about 90 minutes in regular oven or 60-70 minutes in convection oven. Let stand for 5 - 10 minutes and pour off any accumulated fat before serving.

Serves: 8 - 10

Answer 4

Well, I don't know exactly what your "same old meat loaf" recipe involves.

I have made meat loaf in the past with such ingredients as minced or chopped onions, garlic, seasoned Italian bread crumbs, one egg, some beef bullion and grated Parmesan cheese.

Answer 5

make yuor meay loaf the same as you usually do, but cover the bottom of your pan with about 1/4 in. of brown sugar and then a layer of ketchup (instead on covering the top of the loaf). put the meat in and bake it. It is execellent and a bit different. And instead of just using ground beef, use like 1 lb sausage and 1 lb ground beef (lean).

Answer 6

Mozzarella Stuffed Meat/Turkey Loaf

1 1/4 pounds ground turkey breast (or ground beef)
1 10-oz pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
1/2 cup minced onion
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 egg whites
salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 ounces fresh mozzarella, cubed
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Preheat oven to 375°
In a large bowl, combine turkey, spinach, onion, bread crumbs, parsley, oregano, egg whites, salt and peppers. Mix until combined and divide in half.

Press 1/2 of the turkey into an 8-inch loaf pan covered in foil. Top bottom half with cubed mozzarella cheese. Press the rest of the turkey mixture over top and press down to flatten the top.

In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and mustard and with a pastry brush, brush the top of the meatloaf. Bake about 1 hour, until top is golden and the loaf begins to pull away from sides of pan. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
