OK...we either love it or hate it.
MEATLOAF!

I need a variety of meatloaf recipes, uncommon meatloafs preferrably. Give me your best & here's mine::::

One egg slightly beaten in bowl. Add 1 TBSP. onion soup mix, 3 TBSP. ketchup, 1 TBSP. mustard & salt & pepper to your taste of course (I use Slap Ya' Mama Cajun Seasoning). Crumble in one pound of ground beef & 3/4 c. of breadcrumbs (I've done everything from crushed Ritz to find bread crumbs).
Mold that guy into a microwave safe dish, slap some waxpaper on top & let it do the microwave thing for about 10-12 min.
In the meantime, mix another 5-6 TBSP. ketchup, 4 TBSP. brown sugar, 1/2 c. granulated sugar & just enough vinegar to make a sauce. Cut up a bell peppers in whatever shape you like & lay them all pretty on a microwave safe plate.
Yeah, this is where it gets interesting!!
Take your meatloaf out of the dish, I use 2 spatulas to get as little grease as possible. Lay it on top of the peppers, cover with sauce & microwave another 3-5 min. until no more pink in middle. Save a bit of sauce for serving.
And this is Sweet & Sour Meatloaf. Yum.

I made meatloaf for the very first time last week:

Meatloaf Mix (beef, pork, veal)
1 box stouffers seasoned stuffing (i used italian)
1 egg

As far as the grease goes - I molded it myself - lined my broiler pan with aluminum foil (release of course) and poked holes in sporatically. No extra grease!

This is from the What's for Dinner Tonight thread.. It's awesome.


DINER MEATLOAF (warning, baking time is 1 hr. 45 mins. It takes this long for the glaze to reduce)
Preheat oven to 350

Prepare SAUCE and set aside:

Combine until sugar is dissolved:
8 oz. tomato sauce
1 T. yellow mustard
2 T. vinegar
1 c. water
2 T. brown sugar

MEATLOAF
Mix together:
1 1/2# ground beef or a mixture (pork, venison, bison, whatever)
1 c. dry bread crumbs
1 med. onion, minced
2 eggs
8 oz. tomato sauce
salt & pepper

Place in a large baking dish (13x9 or bigger). Bake for 15 minutes. Pour sauce over and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Baste with the sauce a few times during cooking. The sauce will reduce and form a yummy glaze.

[Jaxson]

1 1/2 lbs. Ground beef
2 lg Eggs
1 c. Bread crumbs**
1/2 jar Spaghetti sauce w/mushrooms
1/2 c. Onions, chopped fine
1 3/4 c. Mozzarella cheese
2 t. Sweet basil
2 t. Oregano
2 t. Parsley

Mix all ingredients together except cheese. Pat out onto a piece of foil into a flat thin (about 1/2") loaf in a rectangular shape. Sprinkle with 1 c. cheese over entire top of loaf. Using foil to lift by, roll up loaf like a jelly roll. Seal all ends and edges together, place seam side down in pan. Bake at 350° covered with foil for 35 minutes. Then finish baking uncovered for 15 minutes. Remove from oven add remaining cheese and the other 1/2 jar of sauce over top; bake for an additional 10 minutes.

**may use more if needed to hold ground beef together

Let this meatloaf sit about 5-10 minutes before slicing. Caution!!!! The cheese on the inside is very heat hot so let it cool a bit especially if giving to children please.

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
2 eggs
1/2 C ketchup
1/4 C wine
1 C onion, diced
1/2 C oatmeal
1/4 C minced garlic
1 T oregano
1 T basil
1 T parsely
1 t black pepper, ground
1/2 t sea salt
1/2 t cinnamon

Combine the ketchup and wine - then set aside.

Mix everything else together. Add enough of the ketchup/wine mixture to make it come together - usually about half. Form into a loaf on a cookie sheet and drizzle the rest of the ketchup/wine mixture on top of the meatloaf. Bake in an 350 oven for just under an hour.

onion powder

Our favorite meatloaf recipe is the one on Martha Stewart's website. It was her mother's. It makes a lot, so I usually split it into two and freeze one for later.
