TOTALLY GEEKED!

LOL! Here's mine:

1 1/2 lbs. very lean ground beef (sometimes I use half ground beef and half ground turkey)

1 cup bread crumbs

1 cup milk

1 egg

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp. minced onion

 

Add bread crumbs to milk and let stand about 3 minutes. Mix bread crumb/milk mixture with ground beef, egg, pepper, onion & Worcestershire. Shape into a loaf. Bake in ungreased loaf pan at 300 degrees for 1 hr. and 15 minutes. If desired, take it out halfway through and drain off a bit of the grease.

 I am going to try every recipe here!  Not all on one night though!    This will be my first.  I will replace the bread crumbs with either cornflake crumbs or Kix cereal though as I have a gluten free kid.

Meatloaf cupcakes. Who knew!

I love him!  I just downloaded Bat Out of Hell to my phone.  I love the songs on that album.  Paradise by the Dashboard Light is Da Bomb!

I've always liked Paradise by the Dashboard Light. We used to wail it in the back of the station wagon as teenagers. 

---

That  song is AHMAZING!

 The whole album is GREAT!

Never been able to make a good one.  Share your recipes here and maybe I can finally succeed.

 That's because good meatloaf does not exist in all of creation.

I don't have measurements. Never have. I eyeball it.

A pack of ground beef. The leaner it is the more dry it is.
About 2 pieces of white bread. I run it through the little chopper I have.
About 12-a pack of saltines.run through the chopper.
A small to medium onion and about 1/3-1/2 a bell pepper through the chopper.
1 egg
I use a can of stewed tomatoes, I just mush them in my hand.
A good dose of ketchup
A splash of Worcestershire
Salt, pepper, garlic powder.

Sometimes I put BBQ sauce in it too.

I mush it all together.

Put it in either a skillet or baking dish. I put a good size donut hole in the middle. Always have.

In the oven on 375 till done.

About half way through I take it out and drain it if it needs it.

When it it done, mix ketchup and brown sugar or just use ketchup, and cover the entire surface. Put it back in the oven, turn the oven off and let it sit for about ten minutes.

 I'm partial to "Heaven Can Wait".  DH picked it for our wedding song.

You are all proving my point. What horrible ways to ruin perfectly good beef.

My recipe is

go to Schwan's order website, order the frozen precooked meatloaf slices. Pull out two slices and heat according to directions. Serve with instant mashed potatoes and cooked frozen veggies.

:-p

We love meatloaf as well. DS's DGF loves my meatloaf so much, that DS makes it for her.
I'm a dump cook, so this is only my suggested recipe.

 

About a pound and a half of 93% fat free hamburger (our home grown is better)

About a half package of saltine crackers, crushed

1 egg

Enough milk to make a moist loaf

Red pepper, to taste

A dash or two or three of tabasco sauce

Anywhere from a half onion to a whole, chopped

Sriracha sauce or worcestershire for variation or chili powder, depending on my mood.

Top with catsup.

I do not use a loaf pan, I put it in a round baking dish, cover and bake for an hour or more. Uncover and bake an additional 20 minutes. I have never had to drain a meatloaf of fat.

We never have leftover meatloaf.

I have never used milk in any form in my meatloaf. That is so strange to me.

I don't have a good recipe, but I always put slices of bread in the bottom of the pan to absorb the fat. When cutting I jus remove it. I have also never put milk in mine.

I use milk in my meatballs. Not a lot, but I soak a slice of bread in the milk and then add it in.

What does the milk do? Other than make it milky? It just doesn't sound good to me.

 I have no clue, but it sure is yummy. Try my recipe, please, just once and you will notice a difference in taste and consistency.

No idea but the Italians taught me to soak my breadcrumbs in milk when making meatballs. I use whole milk, too.

---

 Exactly. That's what my meatloaf recipe (above) calls for. Breadcrumbs soaked in milk.

Makes it moist, moist, moist.

But mine isn't dry.

And the tobasco sauce scares me.

 No tabasco in mine. Minced onion and Worcestershire give it plenty of flavor. And of course, the milk-soaked breadcrumbs.

I bet the meatballs are the same as meatloaf.

Wimp.  

My mom used to soak regular bread in milk and then when it was soft, she would mush it in with the meatloaf.

Ina Garten has a zippy recipe with turkey.
