ScoutTN Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Share yours with me?! I need some inspiration! I am tired of the one I've been making for years. From Cooks Illustrated. It's good, but too many ingredients and I'm just bored with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 This is more or less how I make mine: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/good-eats-meat-loaf-recipe/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I use 1.5 lbs of beef, 1 cup bread crumbs, 2 eggs, 1/2 c ketchup, onion powder (real onion is better, but the kids get mad), garlic powder, hot sauce (just a bit), mustard (no clue how much), salt, pepper. I sometimes put in Worchestershire sauce. It's best when I cook it in the crock-pot. I put it in a glass loaf pan, then place that in the crock-pot. It comes out perfect that way.

Belacqua Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 My favorite is pretty simple. Half a pound each of ground beef, pork, and ham. Crunch up a bunch of saltines (or breadcrumbs, if you prefer) with a little can of evaporated milk (regular milk works fine if that's all you have) and 2 eggs. Let the crumbs soak in the eggy milk for 10 minutes. Salt and pepper, and a splorge of mustard if you're so inclined. Make an oval loaf, cover with foil and bake at 375 for 50 minutes or so, depending on thickness. Take off the foil, slather a paste of brown sugar and fruit juice over it, bake for another 5 minutes or so. Edited because condensed milk is not the same as evaporated and would make the meatloaf taste really weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Frog Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 My go to recipe is easy-peasy: a lb of ground beef, a small can of evaporated milk, and 2-3 T dry onion soup mix. Combine, put in pan, and cover with a mixture of ketchup, brown sugar, and a TBSP of mustard. It is very soft raw, but when cooked is very moist.

ScoutTN Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Thanks for the ideas! I'll be experimenting with several of these in the next couple months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavis Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I don't eat beef but my guys do and this is the meatloaf recipe they like the most. http://sweetpeaskitchen.com/2010/10/brown-sugar-meatloaf/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 The one I make is pretty standard, but I mix one of those little cans of crushed pineapple, juice and all, into the ketchup/brown sugar topping. So good. I think it was this one, but with crushed pineapple instead of the preserves: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Tantalizingly-Tangy-Meatloaf/Detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Thumb&e11=meatloaf&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Home%20Page Dh would walk over hot coals for this meatloaf.

TammyinTN Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 This is our new favorite recipe. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/meatloaf-muffins-with-barbecue-sauce-recipe/index.html Leftovers make great meatloaf sandwiches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I need to try the recipes listed here. My favorite was the Alton Brown meatloaf, but DH complains that it's really a veggie loaf :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I make Little Cheddar Meatloaf from taste of home. The basics are: ground beef some oatmeal 1 egg 1/4 cup milk onion or onion powder garlic powder 6-8 oz. of shredded cheddar cheese Mix together and shape into little meatloaves on a jelly roll pan mix ketchup, a bit of mustard, and some brown sugar. Spoon on the top. Bake at 350 until done. Serve with more of the sauce. Really yummy and I often make with 3# of meat so that we have leftovers as they freeze well and reheat well and easy to take 1 or 2 out at a time.

zoobie Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Barefoot Contessa's is our favorite. Use turkey or ground beef or both: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/turkey-meatloaf-recipe/index.html Oh, and 3 cups of onions is crazy sounding. I use one regular onion. :) I use a 1/2 cup measure (my set is oval and it's pretty, lol) to make mini meat loaves on a rimmed cookie sheet. They bake faster that way and get the nice crusty edge all around unlike in a muffin tin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 This is my base recipe: http://www.quakeroats.com/cooking-and-recipes/content/recipes/recipe-detail.aspx?recipeId=575 I add chopped celery, onion (well, not anymore now that dd is allergic), and green pepper. And I top it with tomato soup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
