Meatloaf

[MoBookworm1957]

My go to recipe for meatloaf is the following:
5 pounds of ground chuck(it's what I prefer).
2 peeled and diced onions
2 gloves of garlic
4 Sweet peppers(red, green, yellow and orange)
Seeded, cut into strips, then diced.
4 Jalapeno's seeded and thinly cut into rings then diced
1 cup of old fashion oats
4 large eggs
2 large carrots peeled and Julianne and diced
2 pints of tomato salsa(chunky homemade)
Mix everything together
Place into miniature loaf pans, usually get 8-10 miniature meatloaves.
My Meatloaf recipe can also be used as base for hamburger soup.
It also can be used for base for Shepard's pie.
My measurements are approx.
Enjoy!

I'm gonna pass this to the church group, anything over a pound of ground beef is more than I can eat. It will be a fabulous community gathering meal.

You can freeze meal sized portions. I have done that with meatloaf. When I take it out to heat it up, sometimes I use it for meatloaf sandwiches, sometimes with a couple sides for a meal.

Thanks, Mo! I love meatloaf but don't make it often enough.

It's my favorite!!

My secret recipie is using honey bbq sauce (or whatever you like) instead of ketchup. I put it in the mix, then cover the loaves with it. Yum.

Sometimes we need a WAOOOO in the like list when stuff is over the top Like MEATLOAF!!!!!!!

 

[Snowman]

Put in some Shredded Cheese that One likes/loves is also good to go...!!!

Mayo on rye for me!!

Rye bread is not easy for me to find. When I do find it, I put it in the freezer. I have often thought that I have never made rye bread, and have no rye in my preps. I wonder if anyone here has ever made rye bread?

Doesn't anyone use Miracle Whip Salad Dressing instead of Mayo...?!?

 

[Pearl]

Sonya makes rye bread!! No Miracle Whip for me!

 

[12icemaker]

Yeah Miracle Whip on some things.
That said I like real egg and ingredient Mayo only, no oil based powdered egg concoction.

 

[Weedygarden]

Doesn't anyone use Miracle Whip Salad Dressing instead of Mayo...?!?

No.

 

[Snowman]

I make a Killer Macaroni, Egg Salad with Miracle Whip and Mustard...!!! but You'se can't have any as I can't Afford the Miracle Whip anymore...

NO

 

[Amish Heart]

Husband liked it when we were first married, but prefers regular mayo now. But in potato salad I use mayo, mustard, and sweet pickle relish.
Meatloaf.....hamburger, onion, bread broken up into pieces, catsup or pureed tomatoes if I have alot of them, eggs, garlic salt, dried onion. I put some catsup on top, too, when I bake it. Sometimes oatmeal instead of bread.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

I have also been know to use my meatloaf as the base for hamburger soup, stuffed peppers,

 

[Tim Horton]

Another option...
Leave out the fillers, bread crumbs, oatmeal, and the like.. Form into logs, put in formed tin foil ..boats.. smoke in the smoker to well done beef internal temp.. This makes a wonderful cracker, cheese, mustard, sausage, hot or cold tea snack..

You know, this recipe was similar to how my mom use to make it. Man, it was great. Problem now is my "other half" makes it her way, which is bland, flavorless and since there is no binders (eggs, oatmeal,etc) it tastes like a slow cooked burger. I would love to provide her your recipe, but my mom told me to never "bite the hand that feeds me!"

I would not give you my mom's meatloaf recipe.
It was really bad.

What do we think makes meatloaf taste better? What seasonings makes it better?

I try to make it without bread, crackers, oatmeal. I try to use more eggs to help it bind together. I love lots of onions in it, along with some garlic (powder or chopped) and seasoning salt. Of course there is the tomato, usually ketchup. Salt and pepper are important.
