Answer 2

My mother made good meatloaf when I was growing up, but I think I've improved on it a lot.

Whether you use all ground beef, or a mixture of beef, pork, veal, and/or sausage is up to you. I like pure beef, but can appreciate the rest.

I know many people put bread crumbs, or crushed corn flakes, in theirs, but I don't like how that affects texture. I think that's done to make the meat go farther.

Sauteeing the vegetables is the biggest difference. Be sure to finely chop your onions, peppers, garlic, and whatever other veggies you want, and lightly fry them in olive oil.

Add to the meat and veggies your seasonings - salt, pepper, Italian herbs, and mix thoroughly. Adding an egg helps it stay together, especially if you don't have a meatloaf pan.

The final "trick" is adding spaghetti sauce (either homemade or one of the Classico varieties), tomato sauce, or just ketchup. The tomato gives both moisture and flavor that really enhance the meatloaf. I usually put some in both the mixture as well as on top - to form a glaze.

Like most of my dishes, I don't use a recipe and rarely make things the same way twice. I encourage you to start with a simple recipe then experiment with it by adding or changing things a little here and a little there.

Answer 5

Use half ground sausage and half ground beef. Next use finely shredded or minced carrots instead of breadcrumbs. This will halp make a soft and delicious meatloaf. The spices should be handled by you though.
