Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 1/2 lb 90% lean ground beef
2 lb lean ground turkey
4 slice texas toast crumbled( or 6 slices regular bread)
1 can(s) hunts manwich ( your choice of flavor)
4 large eggs room temperature
1 large white or spanish onion, chopped
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 large red or green bell pepper, chopped
2 pkg lipton onion soup mix dry
1 Tbsp garlic powder or minced garlic
1 Tbsp onion powder
2 tsp dried thyme
1 large can evaporated milk
1 1/2 tsp coarse black pepper
1/4 c fresh chopped parsley (optional)
3/4 c heinz catsup
salt if desired

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine onion soup mix with evaporated milk, stir and allow to sit until onions are rehydrated about 10 to 15 minutes. Spray a Half Sheet Cake Pan with non stick cooking spray and set aside till needed. I also like to use foil for easier clean up.
2. In a large mixing bowl add the ground turkey and ground beef. Process texas toast into bread crumbs, and then sprinkle over meat.
3. Crack eggs and add to mixing bowl of ground meats, then add chopped onions, bell pepper, spices, chopped parsley, & Hunts Manwich, then add the evaporated milk mixture, now proceed to combine thourgly. I like to use my hands for this part, but use what ever method you are most comfortable with.
4. After meat mixture has been thourgly combined, divide mixture evenly & shape into 2 loaves, and put in prepared pan. Divide catsup evenly to cover top of both meat loaves.
5. Bake in pre heated 350 degree F. oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 15 minutes then slice and serve.
6. NOTE YOU CAN DIVIDE THIS RECIPE IN HALF OR BAKE BOTH AND SAVE ONE FOR ANOTHER MEAL AT A LATER TIME.
