Answer 1

Usually just ground beef but occasionally mix in some ground sausage with it, egg, garlic salt and pepper, seasoned bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mix it up, put in a loaf pan, make an indentation down the middle and bake, I add a bit of ketchup and brown sugar to the top the last part of baking. Can also add cheese at that point.

Italian Meatloaf
A spin would be an Italian meatloaf. Use pizza sauce instead of ketchup, spread the raw meat mixture into a flat rectangle and add more pizza sauce and some shredded mozzarella cheese in the middle, roll that up and place in loaf pan. Add pizza sauce and cheese to the top the last part of baking. Use Italian seasonings when mixing the meat up and I leave the Worchestire sauce out of this one and sometime don't use the egg either so the meat is a bit firmer.

BBQ
You can also use your favorite BBQ sauce in place of the ketchup and have BBQ version.

Answer 5

I use 11/2 lb. ground turkey, 1 lb.ground pork, 1/2 cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs, 2 eggs, 1/8 tsp each of pork and turkey seasoning, 1 medium size ground carrot, 1/4 cup diced celery, 1/2 cup diced onion, 1/8 cup chopped parsley and add 16 ounces of tomato sauce. Mix well. Makes about 21/2 pounds.
Use a non stick cooking spray on baking pan.
Place on center rack with the thermostat set to 350 degrees.
Bake approximately one hour and twenty minutes.

For a moist loaf place a foil tent over the loaf and remove the last 15 minutes of baking time.

You can always substitute the meat with canned salmon.
(2 large cans) Remove the bones and skin and mash well.

Answer 6

I just use my imagination most of the time, but it is usually similar to the way you make yours. Sometimes I use oatmeal or crackers instead of bread crumbs. I almost always use tomato sauce instead of ketchup and for the topping I use just a little tomato sauce that I have reserved, mixed with brown sugar, honey, or syrup (whatever I have on hand).

I've added a little cubed cheddar or Colby cheese for a little variety. Once in a while I slice a nice ripe tomato and put thin slices on top when I add the topping during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Answer 8

My best meatloaf…..I use the same ground beef, onions, peppers, seasoned bread crumbs, and egg… no ketchup in side of the meat….plus I add fresh chopped garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, milk, crushed red pepper flakes. I top the meat loaf with roasted red peppers, and then a little ketchup. I do not cook mine for as long as you do, I use a meat thermometer and cook it to a medium or medium rare temperature.

Answer 9

I use about the same recipe, but sometimes add mushrooms, finely chop them in a processor. They're a little watery usually so you'll have to add a bit more bread crumbs. Also try mixing it up and making a poultry or pork loaf; the internet is full of recipes for those kinds of loaves.
