This is how I make mine..Thanks to my mom..


I have to make a big one tho..Teenage boys..





2 - 2.5 lbs of ground beef..


1 pkg. crushed saltine crackers..


1 egg..


1 onion diced small..


ketchup..ummm..I would say 1/4 cup..





Mix all together..I ball mine up in a ball shape..pick it up..and well..I slap it around a bit..LOL!! Helps make it stay together..


put in baking pan and form into a load..Rub the outsides with ketchup..





Or you can make a glaze out of ketchup and brown sugar..My family likes it both ways..
This is our family recipe and the secret is chili sauce, not ketchup or tomato sauce.





2lbs ground beef


one onion chopped


2 or 3 splashes of worcestershire sauce


one egg


a cup of bread crumbs


one bottle of chili sauce


liberal sprinkling of garlic powder





mix together and form into loaf. I've found using a 8x8 square pan is better than a loaf pan. bake at 350 for 45 minutes.

*The addition of 1 or 2 teaspoons of Kitchen Bouquet庐 makes this recipe very good.


**Recipe should be';plump'; from the addition of the milk or Half%26amp; Half庐.


It should NOT be runny.


***A second batch of sauce served hot is good to serve with the meatloaf.
This is a fast and easy Meatloaf that tastes like my granny used to make! Try it...it's wonderful!





2 eggs


1/2 cup water


Stove Top Savory Herb Stuffing


diced onion


diced bell pepper


2 Tablespoons Ketchup


1-2 pounds ground beef





In a large bowl beat eggs and water and add the stuffing and seasoning. Then add the onion and bell peppers and ground beef and mix well. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Just about ten minutes before it's done, remove and cover with top of meatloaf with ketchup, and return to oven for the last ten minutes.
The ketchup I do believe just adds flavor to the meat.The other seasonings that you put taste well with ketchup.You could use tomato paste, but thin it down a little.Tomato sauce can be poured and browned on top of the loaf for added flavor and color.Happy cooking to you......

';bat out of hell'; is probably the most classic meatloaf recipie.
I make my meatloaf without ketchup. My son puts it on afterwards. I mix the meat with garlic powder, salt, pepper, parsley, an egg, some bread crumbs and chopped up mushrooms and onions. I then pour some beef gravy over the top and pop it in the oven. I tried it once with Lipton Onion Soup mix. It wasn't bad.

You can't fail with a recipe from America's Test Kitchen:





Glazed Meat Loaf or All Beef Meatloaf





If you can't find chuck and/or sirloin, substitute any 85 percent lean ground beef. Handle the meat gently; it should be thoroughly combined but not pastelike. To avoid using the broiler, glaze the loaf in a 500-degree oven; increase cooking time for each interval by 2 to 3 minutes.





Serves 6 to 8


Meat Loaf





3 ounces Monterey Jack cheese , grated on small holes of box grater (about 1 cup)


1 tablespoon unsalted butter


1 medium onion , chopped fine (about 1 cup)


1 medium rib celery , chopped fine (about 1/2 cup)


1 medium clove garlic , minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 1 teaspoon)


2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves


1 teaspoon paprika


1/4 cup tomato juice


1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth


2 large eggs


1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin (powdered)


1 tablespoon soy sauce


1 teaspoon Dijon mustard


2/3 cup crushed saltine crackers


2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves


3/4 teaspoon table salt


1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper


1 pound ground sirloin


1 pound ground beef chuck





Glaze





1/2 cup ketchup


1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce


1/2 teaspoon ground coriander


1/4 cup cider vinegar


3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar








See Illustrations Below: Creating a Free-Form ';Loaf Pan';





1. Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 375 degrees. Spread cheese on plate and place in freezer until ready to use. Prepare baking sheet (see illustration below).





2. Heat butter in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until foaming; add onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, and paprika and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low and add tomato juice. Cook, stirring to scrape up browned bits from pan, until thickened, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to small bowl and set aside to cool.





3. Whisk broth and eggs in large bowl until combined. Sprinkle gelatin over liquid and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, mustard, saltines, parsley, salt, pepper, and onion mixture. Crumble frozen cheese into coarse powder and sprinkle over mixture. Add ground beef; mix gently with hands until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Transfer meat to foil rectangle and shape into 10 by 6-inch oval about 2 inches high. Smooth top and edges of meat loaf with moistened spatula. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of loaf reads 135 to 140 degrees, 55 to 65 minutes. Remove meat loaf from oven and turn on broiler.





4. While meat loaf cooks, combine ingredients for glaze in small saucepan; bring to simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring, until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Spread half of glaze evenly over cooked meat loaf with rubber spatula; place under broiler and cook until glaze bubbles and begins to brown at edges, about 5 minutes. Remove meat loaf from oven and spread evenly with remaining glaze; place back under broiler and cook until glaze is again bubbling and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes more. Let meat loaf cool about 20 minutes before slicing.
I like mine made with 2 slices of toast torn, 1 egg, 1/2 chopped onion and chopped bell pepper.





I use 12-16 oz of tomato paste instead of ketchup. I put 1 cup of it on the top druing the last 10 minutes .
most people use ketchup but i like to use a-1 sauce
