As a child, meatloaf was a weekly staple in my diet. My mother was a busy lady and didn't have the time to create extravagant meals. So she turned to a simple meatloaf recipe to feed us kids during the week as did many other busy parental units or legal guardians. Somewhere along the line, meatloaf got a bad rap.
In the gourmet world, it was viewed as dried up and inedible. Health advocates saw it as a lump of meat waiting to be digested and clog arteries. To many children, it was a nasty routine dinner combined with the dreaded side of vegetables. With all of these rumors floating around, no wonder it was so unappealing!
In recent years, meatloaf has made a bit of a comeback but not to the level to which it was once favored. Meatloaf can be exciting, healthy and delicious, the kind of meatloaf my mother used to make when I was younger.
My Mama's Meatloaf
Serves 4
Ingredients: 1 pound of ground beef (as with all beef, to get the most health benefits, use grass-fed!) 1 egg 1/4 cup of bread crumbs (we just crush up fresh bread to keep it moist) 1/2 tablespoon of garlic powder 1 teaspoon of nutmeg 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley 1 tablespoon of crushed red pepper 1/4 cup of scallions, minced Salt and Pepper to taste 1 tablespoon of ketchup
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except for the ketchup
In an 8.5 inch loaf pan, pack mixture and pour ketchup on top of loaf
Bake for about an hour - you can tell the meatloaf is cooked through when all of the pink is gone
i love making meatloaf.. except instead of ketchup i use bbq sauce on mine.
I think that using half beef and half pork leads to a more interesting and pleasant texture, so I recommend that.
((( runs away with meatloaf )))
hehehehe.... mine, all mine!
Meatloaf never lost its appeal to me. I just can't eat it like I did when I was a kid.
When I do mine, I like going 1/3 Ground Short Rib, 1/3 Ground Pork Shoulder, 1/3 Ground Veal. I think this combination of cuts gives an excellent mouthfeel.
I also bake mine free-form, because I like the crust on mine.
I like meatloaf, although I wait until after it's cooked before putting ketchup on mine.
i've never gotten tired of eating meatloaf because i don't eat it all the time. i was introduced to it when i was in college and i still like it to this day. though i don't use ketchup all the time, i put a kick of bbq sauce because i like it more tangy. i had a college roommate who made it that way when we were still living together and have liked it ever since.
I OD'ed on meatloaf once and have not made it since. But your meatloaf does look yummy.
i have never met anyone who didn't like meatloaf
they are awesome and thankyou for helping them make a big comeback
I like meatloaf! I usually made it according to that recipe found in that Kraft magazine (basically meat, stuffing mix, eggs and milk) but yesterday I tried a new recipe that I saw on Paula Deen's show that was Brooke's Meatloaf. I added a little more ketchup and some mustard to the mix and garlic powder before baking and it came out yummy! Of course I bake my freeform too because I don't have a loaf pan (it's on my long list of kitchen stuff I'd like to have and with the kitchen in remodel mode, it's time right now!).
