12 Preparation Time :1:15 Categories : Meat Loaves

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method --------
------------ -------------------------------- 2 1/2 pounds
ground beef -- or hamburger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper 2 each eggs
2/2 medium onion -- chopped 2 tablespoons ketchup
3/2 package Lawry's Meatloaf Seasoning -- or other

4/2 medium green bell pepper -- chop

FOR THE SAUCE: (TOPPING)
5/2 cup ketchup -- USE CHILI SAUCE!
6/3 cup water 4 tablespoons brown sugar -- more if

Mix all ingredients well. Mold the loaf and place in a large
pan, leaving a well between loaf and pan to permit draining
off excess oil. With pastry brush moisten the top and sides
with cold water to prevent crumbling. Do not cover. Bake at
350~ for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Drain off liquid and slice loaf and leave slices vertical.
Mix ingredients for sauce as listed. Pour sauce over sliced
meat loaf and get some between and all over the top. Bake an
additional 30 minutes, uncovered.

You must use regular ground beef or hamburger, for the
best flavor.

Eva Bond was the cook for the jurors of the Malice Green
murder trial in Detroit in 1993. Her meat loaf was their
favorite and they requested it over and over again. You must
follow the directions for the sauce to get the flavor.

My sister and law makes great meat loaf. She is coming
over w/hubby in one week.

I want to make a good meat loaf for them that rivals hers.

Any ideas? I usually just use that bake in a bag kit that
comes with seasonings. What can I add to that to make it
extra special?

NEVER try to beat someone at his/her own game! What's your
food specialty? Make that.

Why? If she is especially fond of her own meat loaf she will
expect it to be like hers. One way or the other, she will
compare it to her own. She may even be upset if it is better
than hers. Why not prepare something at which you excel.
Make her a fine meal made with expensive ingredients, and
then maybe she will be inspired to feed you something that
isn't made with the cheapest meat she can use for a crowd.

Why not meatloaf mix? Meaning equal parts of ground burger,
ground veal, and most important, ground pork.

Thank you Thomas, I will try your recipe.

I want to make a good meat loaf for them that rivals hers.

Any ideas? I usually just use that bake in a bag kit that

Nay, nay, Pray Tell. Here are some ideas:

Basic receipe:

2 lbs ground beef 1 cup of bread crumbs 1 or two
eggs as needed to make a stiff mix salt and pepper
to taste Mold in tin and turn out onto cookie pan
place two strips of bacon across top, put in 350d
oven, bake until bacon is crisp

Now, once you have that, you can add or subtract various
options alone or in combinations:

1 package Jimmy Dean sausage

1 medium chopped onion and/or 1 medium chopped
green pepper

Add a glaze - ketchup and brown sugar diluted with a
bit of water, spread on before or in place of bacon.
Variation: add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, or try
maple syrup instead of brown sugar.

Here's a dress-up trick for company: Take a stack of
mushrooms more-or-less the same size, and slice off
the cap at each side. Put half the loaf in the mold,
then place the mushrooms in a line down the middle,
butting them up against one another tightly making a
single long mushroom from end to end (put them cap
side down so they will be right-side-up when the
loaf is inverted). Then add the rest of the loaf and
proceed as normal. When you serve slices of the
loaf, each slice will have a neat little cooked
mushroom in the center.

Add brown gravy for serving.

Spice variations: if you like spicy you can try
adding chili powder and/or ground cumin to the loaf
mixture or to the glaze.

You can also add a couple chopped cloves of garlic
to the loaf mixture.

Add 1/4 cup ketchup to the loaf mixture.

Top the loaf with rounds of yellow pepper (dress-up)
(on top of bacon).

Smash some seasoned croutons in the blender and add
to or replace the bread crumbs, or use to top loaf
(add during last few minutes of cooking).

The traditional side is mashed potatoes, of course, but you
could also try baked beans or refried beans as a variation.

Do you by chance have a recipe for Meatloaf Seasoning? Can't
get that (or any other meatloaf seasoning) where I am
(Japan) so it would be nice to have a substitute.

I did find a recipe on-line that calls for mustard powder,
paprika, salt, thyme, basil, black pepper, onion powder, and
garlic powder. Is that, more or less, what one might find in
Lawry's seasoning?

You will not get the wonderful flavor of this meatloaf using
anything other than ground beef. Normally, I use a mix too,
but not for this one.

Add some celery seed & parsley and you have it. McCormick's
also has a meatloaf seasoning pack, if that is available.
