Looking for an old fashioned meatloaf recipe? I am focused on Family Recipes only!?

Question

I am trying to re-create my grandmothers meatloaf. I know it had onions, corn flakes (crushed), egg, ground beef, I think ketchup on top, chile sauce?, green pepper, milk?, worcestershire sauce? I really can't remember. I am searching for family recipes that YOU have been using for years. I have researched many recipes but have never found the exact one.
Thank you so much!

Answer 1

Yep you got it same one my granny made!! 1 lb. ground beef, 1/2 pound ground pork, 1 egg, 1/4 cup of crushed cornflakes, 1/4 cup of ketchup, and a dash of worcestershire sauce. Mix egg with a splash of milk and beat. Add egg, ketchup, worcestershire sauce, cornflakes to meat and mix thoroughly. Put in loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 45 min. or until done. My granny used to put bacon strips ontop to keep meat moist and then add ketchup to the top about 10 min. before it is done to add a bit of extra flavor. Bon appetite!

Answer 2

Are you positive that she used corn flakes? I have a recipe that uses Worcestershire, but it calls for Wheat Chex cereal.
1/2 c. ketchup
2 Tbs.brown sugar
1/2 tsp.powdered mustard
4 tsps. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsps.seasoned salt
1 1/2 tsps.onion powder
1/4 tsp.garlic powder
1/4 tsp.ground black pepper
1 egg
2 Tbs. finely chopped green pepper
1 1/2 c.Wheat Chex cereal
1 1/2 lbs.ground beef
In a large bowl combine ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Reserve 4 Tbs. mixture for topping. To remaining mixture add Worcestershire sauce, salt, onion, garlic powder, pepper, and egg. Blend well. Stir in green pepper and Wheat Chex. Let stand 5 minutes. Add ground beef. Mix well, breaking up Chex. Shape into loaf in shallow baking pan. Bake at 350 for 65 minutes. Spread top with reserved ketchup mixture. Bake additional 15 minutes. Aprox.6 servings.

Oh, wait, I just realized that there are no real onions in that. This is probably not too helpful now. You sound like a really good cook though. Do you think you can add real onions, or would you have to add extra dry cereal? My family usually substitutes Lipton dry mushroom onion soup mix for some of the dry ingredients if we are missing some.
Have you tried looking in any old Three Rivers Cookbooks?

This is a recipe that has been in my family for over 30 years.

Moms Famous Meatloaf

Sauce:
2 small cans tomato sauce
1/4 cup worchestershire sauce

Ingredients (Meatloaf):
2 pounds ground beef

1 teaspoon garlic salt

In another bowl add ground beef, 1/2 chopped onion, egg, oatmeal, garlic salt, pepper, and 1/3 of the sauce mixture. Mix together well.

Place in pan, making space between meat and pan around edges with fingers. Flatten top, spread more sauce over top and cook 1 hour, at 350F. Drain off grease half way (30 min) and add more sauce. Reserve some sauce for adding when served. The oatmeal disappears, is healthy and you can't taste it. It just holds it together better. Add more if you need it.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU6C3

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
