PERFECT MEATLOAF BY SUSAN



Perfect Meatloaf by Susan image

Well, I finally broke down and bought one of those "perfect meatloaf" pans, the kind with the slotted bottom you can lift out, to get the meatloaf out of the drippings before slicing. I put this recipe in it - it's one I've used in times past when I wanted to go "all natural". Now that I've got parsley and thyme growing right...

SUSAN'S SWEET AND TANGY MEATLOAF



Susan's Sweet and Tangy Meatloaf image

I snagged the basic recipe for this from AllRecipes.com but have changed it a great deal to suit my family's tastes. My husband is not a fan of meatloaf but BEGS for this one, as do my 2 and 4 year old. It's super easy and can be made early in the day and then just spread the sauce on top and bake. It's sweet, tangy and a bit spicy! I bet everyone will ask for seconds!

THE BEST MEATLOAF I'VE EVER MADE



The Best Meatloaf I've Ever Made image

When I was growing up, my mom never ever made meatloaf and I always wanted to try it - I finally tried it at a restaurant and loved it. When I moved out on my own I started experimenting with different recipes and creating my own version. I finally came up with the best meatloaf I have ever made, and I wanted to share it.

SUSAN'S SAVORY MEATLOAF



Susan's Savory Meatloaf image

This is based on my mother's recipe, although she did not use bread crumbs, but cracker crumbs. We don't buy crackers, but always have a couple of slices of bread available to turn into crumbs. I've even used pumpernickel crumbs - very good in this meatloaf!

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lb ground meat - use one kind, or a combination of beef, pork, turkey, veal, whatever you have on hand.
1 envelope lipton onion soup mix
8 oz tomato sauce
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 c bread crumbs, any type
1/2 tsp black pepper (or less to taste)
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Break the ground meat up into loose chunks. Mix in all the other ingredients well, but don't mix too hard, as it will make it too dense.
  • 3. Form into a loaf shape in a pan that is about 1-2 inches bigger all the way around. Lining the pan with crinkled aluminum foil helps with the baking, and the cleanup. (Or, fill muffin cups with mixture.)
  • 4. Bake: for whole loaf, 60-70 minutes. Use meat thermometer and cook to at least 165 degrees. For muffin tin, it only takes about 20 minutes.
  • 5. Let cool slightly before slicing or removing from muffin pan.
  • 6. If you want to top it with something, mix together 1-2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce and 1/2 cup ketchup and brush on during last 15 minutes of cooking.
