MOM'S SECRET INGREDIENT MEATLOAF



Mom's Secret Ingredient Meatloaf image

My mother made the best meatloaf in town, but would never share her recipe saying it was just a basic meatloaf recipe with a "secret ingredient". Now all MY family and friends beg for this meatloaf, but only my daughter knows the secret ingredient -- now you will too. You will get raves on this one!

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 -2 1/2 lbs ground chuck
1 large egg
1 cup finely chopped onion (, or you can use 2-3 Tblp dried onion flakes if the kids object to actually seeing the onion)
1 cup milk
3 pieces bread, crumbed in food processor
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/3-1/2 cup Heinz Chili Sauce (NO SUBSTITUTION on this ingredient)
1/2 cup catsup
1/2 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese or 1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • Mix ground chuck with breadcrumbs.
  • (extra lean works well too).
  • Add salt,pepper and egg.
  • Mixing with you hands now, add the Heinz Chili Sauce and the milk.
  • Seperate the mixture in half and form 2 loaves.
  • They will both fit comfortably in a 13" by 9" pan.
  • Mix the topping together and spread on the top and the sides of the loaves.
  • Cook at 375 for one hour or 400 for 45 minutes.
  • Check for firmness.
  • Let rest for ten minutes before cutting.
  • Tips---------.
  • If you have stale bread you can lay 2 slices under each loaf and it will soak up the grease so your meatloaf is a bit leaner upon serving.
  • Also, you can use the Chili Sauce on top of the meatloaf instead of catsup.
  • This makes it spicier but my mother never did this because it would have given away her"Secret Ingredient" -- and the kids probably will like it better with catsup on top.
  • Enjoy!

MEATLOAF - FAMILY SECRET INGREDIENT



Meatloaf - Family Secret Ingredient image

This is my mom's recipe and we loved it so much. You can use a mixture of ground beef, veal and pork if desired. This is a slightly different meatloaf, than what most people are familiar with. After they taste it, they ask for the recipe. This makes a great leftover fried meatloaf sandwich. (Just a note: If my Mom or I make the meatloaf, it falls apart, if my Dad makes it, it stays together...so good luck with yours!)
