Answer 3

Mine is Southwestern-Style Meat Loaf made with

1 pound ground beef, lean
3/4 to 1 pound ground veal
1 egg
1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 can (approx. 4 1/4 ounces) chopped ripe olives
1 can (4 ounces) chopped mild green chile pepper
1 cup corn kernels
1/2 cup salsa, plus more for topping
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

PREPARATION:
Combine all ingredients except topping in a bowl and combine until blended. A wire potato masher works well for mixing meatloaf. Pack into a loaf pan and bake at 350° for about 1 hour and 15 minutes

Answer 4

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 cup fresh bread crumbs (I use 1/2 cup fresh toasted and 1/2cup seasoned)
1 onion, diced
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce
3 tablespoons vinegar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup water, to thin sauce if necessary
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix together the beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce. Form this mixture into a loaf and place it in a shallow pan. Stir together the remaining tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar, mustard, Worcestershire and the water (if too thick). Pour this sauce over the meatloaf. Bake for 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes with the pan juices.

Answer 5

mix in a bowl:

* 2 lb turkey ground round (or beef ground round but the turkey is lighter, healthier, less fat and a nice, light flavour)
* 3 big handfuls of cheeze-its (put in a ziploc bag and smash up to small pieces - but not breadcrumb sized). If you don't have cheezeits you can use wheaties or cornflakes but this result in a different texture and consistency meatloaf
* 2 eggs
* 1 small can peas
* 1 medium sized can crushed tomatoes
* 1 small can tomato paste
* Add Italian flavoured breadcrumbs until consistancy is not too wet, not too dry - just nice, moist and you can shape it with your hand.
* small handful dried onion flakes

Form a loaf shape on a baking tray lined with tinfoil and sprayed with Pam (nonstick spray). Rub top of loaf with more tomato paste or tomato ketchup if you have none. Cover with foil loosely (dont tuck under tray lip)

Bake 350 oven for about 1hr - then remove foil and let bake for another 15 mins.

I like this recipe because I don't like to measure things out with measuring cups etc and this has always been a no-fail recipe for me. And I would never have thought of the cheeze-its but they really do add a great flavour!

Answer 8

I won't tell you the whole recipe, but I do use half a cup of minute rice, and a half a cup of ground up saltine crackers, and a half a cup of ketchup. The secret after you mold it into a loaf is, put it in a slightly larger Pyrex pan, and add about a half cup of water around the loaf. It will come out very moist. Potatoes and carrots in the water. Top it with ketchup and sliced bell peppers in one quarter inch thick circles before baking.

*The addition of 1 or 2 teaspoons of Kitchen Bouquet® makes this recipe very good.
**Recipe should be"plump" from the addition of the milk or Half& Half®.
It should NOT be runny.
***A second batch of sauce served hot is good to serve with the meatloaf.
Enjoy!

1½ hours 20 min prep

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 cup finely crushed saltine crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan.
Press the brown sugar in the bottom of the prepared loaf pan and spread the ketchup over the sugar.
In a mixing bowl, mix thoroughly all remaining ingredients and shape into a loaf.
Place on top of the ketchup.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour or until juices are clear.

1¼ hours 5 min prep

2-2 1/2 lbs ground chuck
1 large egg
1 cup finely chopped onions (, or you can use 2-3 Tblp dried onion flakes if the kids object to actually seeing the onion)
1 cup milk
3 pieces bread, crumbed in food processor
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/3-1/2 cup Heinz Chili Sauce (NO SUBSTITUTION on this ingredient)
Topping
1/2 cup catsup
1/2 cup shredded American cheese or mild cheddar cheese or monterey jack cheese

Mix ground chuck with breadcrumbs.
(extra lean works well too).
Add salt,pepper and egg.
Mixing with you hands now, add the Heinz Chili Sauce and the milk.
Seperate the mixture in half and form 2 loaves.
They will both fit comfortably in a 13" by 9" pan.
Mix the topping together and spread on the top and the sides of the loaves.
Cook at 375 for one hour or 400 for 45 minutes.
Check for firmness.
Let rest for ten minutes before cutting.
Tips---------.
If you have stale bread you can lay 2 slices under each loaf and it will soak up the grease so your meatloaf is a bit leaner upon serving.
Also, you can use the Chili Sauce on top of the meatloaf instead of catsup.
This makes it spicier but my mother never did this because it would have given away her"Secret Ingredient" -- and the kids probably will like it better with catsup on top.
Enjoy!
