I really like BennyG's answer. I have a great holiday recipe that just fits with BennyG. If you want to make a great impression for a holiday dinner. Stuff 1 red, 1 yellow and one green bellpepper, cook as you would any stuffed bellpeppers. When they are done, cut them in quarters and arrange them on a large plate alternating colors to form a large star. In the center place a bowl of mashed potatoes. Your guest will think you slaved for hours and it looks pretty too.
Use cheap hamburger for starters. more fat contene, therefor more flavor. Add spicy breakfast sausage, lots of garlic chopped onions, bell pepper add mayonaile or sour cream to moiisten. form into meat loaf, bake 375 for about 2 hours draining grease often. any other chopped vegetables may be add, it's a matter of choice.Can someone tell me a very unique meatloaf recipe?
take your meatloaf meat split it into 2 parts 1st part add to the bottom of a bread pan spread out and make a trench in the middle of the meat add cooked mac and cheese cover with rest of meat seal the best you can and cook for about 1 hour or til done cut into slices and injoy a little gravy never hurts
Meatloaf a la Strawberry Icecream (serves 300):
Take one overweight singer who's past his prime, chop roughly,
fold into a very big tub of strawberry icecream, serve.
Try saw dust instead of bread crumbs - it is AWESOME...
Once you create the meat portion of your meatloaf... To make things fun and interesting Line a Bundt pan with slices of bacon and then lay all the meat nto the pan. When it is done, remove it from the pan - so it looks like a bundt cake, make mased pototoes and ';ice'; the top of the ';loaf'; with it. You can even use some parsley, or carrot pieces to make it look like you sprinkled the top - or dark brown gravy to make it look like chocolate sauce
BTW: If it is smaller portions... try the same idea using a muffin pan making mini meat loaves that look like muffins....
add some turnips

This is the best meatloaf I have ever had. It is from Food TV's Paula Deen. She had a whole episode about food Elvis would have liked. This is her Cheeseburger Meatloaf with Cheese Sauce. Excellent.

I'd probably get banned.
Would you settle for my second choice?
Ad to the meat an 1 egg 1 union and 1 garlic (yes whole) chopped beyond recognition.
Make meatballs about an inch in diameter.
Boil in salt water for 10- 15 minutes.
Let dry then bake in hot oil until brown. (very fast)
Drop them in the peanut sauce.
Peanut sauce:
Chop union ad a tablespoon of sugar. Mix until sugar seems gone. In a medium hot pan and stir until it starts to brown. Ad soy sauce. Ad milk (start with one cup) When hot ( not cooking) ad tablespoons of peanut butter.
Keep adding milk and peanut butter until a smooth but firm 'paste' is made. Finally ad some hot sauce or Tabasco.
