Good meatloaf recipe?

Question

Hi all!

I've made numerous meatloafs from various recipes. I haven't been real happy with any of them. My boys don't like chunks of onion or pepper so I have to use spices mainly, but does anyone have a REALLY good meatloaf recipe? Preferably with cheese...

Thanks in advance!

Now I don't know which one to try tonight!

Thanks :)

Answer 1

I agree with your boys. I have never been a fan of meatloaf until I had this. It calls for onion but if you dice it finely you will never know it is in there and this is sooooooooo good!
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1/2 can evaporated milk
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup cracker crumbs
1/4 finely chopped onion
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
Mix together and form into a loaf in a pan large enough to pour sauce over.
Sauce
1 cup ketchup
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke ( I use a tablespoon bbq sauce)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Mix together and pour over meatloaf. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350* for 1 hour or longer. Temp at 160* at least. I usualy cook close to 1 1/2 hours.

Pizza meatloaf:

2 pounds ground chuck
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or salt or 2 chopped cloves garlic
1 envelope Liptons onion soup (trust me they will love this)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
2/3 cup Parmesan cheese (you can use the kind that is dried in the shaker can)
a few fennel seeds if you have them
Salt & Pepper
2 eggs
3/4 cup bread crumbs or cracker crumbs soaked in 2 eggs and half a cup of milk or water or stock.
1/2 cup tomatoe sauce or ready made spaghetti sauce.

Mix with hands put in a loaf pan or form a loaf on a baking sheet. Use foil to catch the drippings.

Cook on low heat about 300 degrees for about an hour and 15 minutes or cook at 325 for about an hour.

At the end of the cooking about 10 minutes before removing the meatloaf from the oven cover it in 1/2 cup tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce.

This is so good cold too and makes fantastic sandwiches.

Answer 6

I Hate onions as well, so I always leave that ingredient out. I recently tried a meatloaf recipe that was really tasty. I made it like you normally would (meat, egg, breadcrumbs, spices) but I added 1/4 cup of Original BBQ Sauce. After molding it, instead of using a tomato sauce or ketchup for the top, I used another 1/4 cup of BBQ Sauce. It was great with mashed potatoes!

Answer 7

The very best recipe is on the box of Lipton Onion/Mushroom Soup using raw oatmeal instead of bread crumbs. If you want cheese stuff the center with cheese before baking. I like it a little more well done. Oh yes, I also draw a "happy face", heart, or flower on top with catsup.
