MAMA'S MEATLOAF



Mama's Meatloaf image

I discovered the basic recipe years ago, and improved on it over the years. My southern mother was horrified that it wasn't made with milk, but when she tasted it she agreed it was an exceptionally good recipe. It's a family favorite, and I'm asked to take it to picnics and pot lucks.

Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb lean ground beef
1 onion, diced
1/2 cup progresso breadcrumbs
1/2 cup catsup or 1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 egg
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce or 1 1/2 tablespoons honey tamari soy sauce
1 -2 tablespoon flat-leaf Italian parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Some cooks put all ingredients into a loaf pan "raw", but I prefer to sauté the onions first to take the "bite" out of them.
  • Drain and set aside to cool.
  • Into a large bowl place the ground beef, bread crumbs, catsup, egg, Worcestershire sauce and parsley.
  • Add the sautéed onions to this mixture.
  • Wash your hands and delve into this mixture like a mad man, squish it between your fingers and mix it very well.
  • Form a loaf in a baking dish, leaving at least 1-inch around the sides so fat can drain off.
  • Bake at 350°F about 45 minutes or until done.
  • Serve this delicious meatloaf as is or with my recipe for curry sauce.

A stick to your ribs, delicious slice of comfort food. Great cold for sandwiches the next day! I sometimes substitute matzo meal or bread crumbs for the oatmeal.

Mom made the best meatloaf, and now I do, too. When I first met my husband, he didn't care for homemade meatloaf, but this won him over. -Michelle Beran, Claflin, Kansas

MOM'S MEATLOAF

This is the only meatloaf I ever liked! Seasoned with fresh onion,a touch of bell pepper, and glazed with a sweet ketchup sauce. For our small family, we cook one loaf and freeze the other to cook at a later time.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds lean ground beef
½ cup crushed saltine crackers
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 eggs, beaten
¼ cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped green bell pepper
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground thyme
¼ teaspoon ground marjoram
¼ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons light corn syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine ground beef, cracker crumbs, tomato sauce, eggs, onion, bell pepper, salt, thyme, and marjoram in a large bowl and mix well. Shape beef mixture into two equally sized loaves. Place both loaves in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Meanwhile, mix ketchup and corn syrup in a small bowl to make a glaze.
  • Remove baking dish from the oven and remove foil. Brush glaze onto the loaves. Return baking dish to the oven uncovered, and continue baking until loaves are no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
