AMISH MEATLOAF

I'm not sure what's supposed to be Amish about this recipe, but it is very good. Recipe from a freezer cooking email group. As a note - I generally do not use the bacon at all and I use a brown sugar/ketchup topping rather than the cheese. If you are doing this for the freezer, this can be frozen after assembly, then thawed and baked as directed. Or, cook completely, freeze, thaw and reheat. It's so fast to put together that I generally just make it and serve it the same day.

Some people like to serve meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy, while others prefer it with a side salad or green vegetables such as green beans or broccoli.

History:

Meatloaf has been a popular dish in the United States since the early 20th century. The dish became even more popular during the Great Depression when families were looking for low-cost ways to feed their families. The Amish people, who place a strong emphasis on self-sufficiency and sustainability, have long been making meatloaf as a way to use up leftover meat and extend their food supplies.

Valuable tips for making Amish meatloaf recipes

1. Use quality meat
Using quality meat like grass-fed beef, organic chicken or turkey will give your Amish meatloaf recipe a delicious flavor. You can also mix different meats to get a more unique taste.
2. Don't over mix the meat
Overworking the meat mixture can make the meatloaf dense and tough. Gently mix the meat with your hands until just combined.
3. Use fresh ingredients
Using fresh vegetables like onions, garlic, bell peppers, and carrots will bring out the best flavors in your Amish meatloaf recipe. Don't use canned or processed vegetables.
4. Add breadcrumbs and milk
Adding breadcrumbs and milk will help keep the meatloaf moist and tender. The breadcrumbs absorb the moisture from the milk and release it back into the meat as it cooks.
5. Use eggs
Adding eggs to the meatloaf mixture helps to bind it all together. They also give the meatloaf a fluffy texture.
6. Seasoning is key
Make sure to season the meatloaf mixture well with salt, pepper, and other spices to give it the perfect flavor.
7. Use a loaf pan
Use a loaf pan to shape the meatloaf mixture. This will help it to cook evenly and keep it from spreading out too much.
8. Use a glaze
A glaze will add extra flavor and moisture to your Amish meatloaf recipe. You can use ketchup, barbecue sauce, or even mustard.
9. Let it rest
Allow your meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing it. This will give it time for the juices to redistribute, making it juicy and flavorful.
10. Experiment with ingredients
Finally, don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add cheese, vegetables, or spices to make your Amish meatloaf recipe more unique and personalized.
