Mix it all up, and throw it in the trash where meatloaf belongs!

I like good meatloaf on occasion I'm just trying to lesson the amount of bad I have to eat before getting the good stuff lol

We use a little over 2 pounds of ground beef. Dices up a onion, green bell pepper, and mixes in the spices and breadcrumbs to hold it together. Lots of times we stuff it with mozzarella cheese, and spinach. On the smoker @275-300 until its done

When me and my wife started dating she cook pretty good. Every once in a while she'd drop the ball. And I'd always tell her. No sense in the that crap once a week for the rest of my life lol

This is my wife's meatloaf. I like it. Of course your mileage may vary… Also I did laugh a bit when I saw this was about real meatloaf, not the singer "Meatloaf"—revealing my age a bit.

I will get my wife's recipe, hers is the best I ever had.

my wife makes good meat loaf. tastes like a good hamburger with a sweet sticky glaze on top. she uses 70/30 meat or 80/20 meat and no bread crumbs. tip, the more you mix a meat loaf the more dense and tough it will get.

Pretty close to how I make it. I like to use the heels from a loaf of bread pulled apart in small pieces along with cracker crumbs. Salt, pepper, little garlic salt, Worcestershire sauce to the mix. After I put it in a pan, I'll cover the top with ketchup again and then add several pads of butter. It's also pretty good in the smoker too.

Paula Deen has a pretty good recipe that I like. It has quick oats instead of bread crumbs. I also use 80/20 ground beef.

Good way to ruin perfectly good ground beef….

Just kidding. I really enjoy meatloaf. The above line is what my dad used to say anytime grandma made meatloaf.

Sorry I'm no help with the recipe

I love meatloaf. My wife has perfected it. I don't have her recipe, and I know it sounds weird, but she puts apple cider vinegar in hers. It's killer

 

[Pilchard]

I do really like it with a bit of hot Italian sausage mixed in.

Nothing personal but I ate my last bite of meatloaf about 55 years ago.

There are many better ways to cook ground beef.

 

[DaveTN]

Dang... I thought this was going to be a music thread.

 

[Specializedjon]

I've got a good receipt.......me

I'm trying to refrain from my initial thought

One thing I learned is to sauté all veggies until soft before mixing up with the meat.

This x 100! I hate having crunchy onions and peppers in meatloaf!

My mom would take a pound and a half of ground beef and mix with a can of corned beef hash.
Form into a loaf and top with strips of bacon.

Sounds good!

That sounds pretty good. Plan on trying that in the near future.

I've only made this with ground deer. My wife made really good meatloaf but I can't find the recipe she used.

1-1/2 pounds ground beef

1 egg

1 onion, chopped

1 cup milk

1 cup dried bread crumbs

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons yellow mustard

1/2 cup ketchup AND 1/3 cup ketchup (1/2 cup for topping; 1/3 cup to mix in meatloaf)

1/3 cup BBQ sauce

Worcestershire Sauce

• Preheat oven to 350 F
• In a large bowl, combine the beef, egg, onion, milk, bread crumbs, 1/3 cup ketchup, and BBQ sauce. Season with salt and pepper and add several shakes of Worcestershire sauce. Mix together with hands.
• Add the meatloaf to a lightly greased 5x9 inch loaf pan.
• In a separate small bowl, combine brown sugar, mustard, and 1/2 cup ketchup. Mix well and pour over the meatloaf.
• Bake at 350 F for 1 hour

I have a mini-food processor that chops the onion up fairly fine. I don't like big chunks of onion and this does well for me and they cook completely.

We add a jar of salsa/med/hot , bread crumbs eggs some bacon on top, love it smoked but baked is good too, traditional calls for green bell peppers but they can be bitter, red/yellow are much better chopped fine and added

If you are close to me, I can teach her a good recipe. My wife and I work together on it, and it easy to make.

Once you get a recipe you like, cook it on a smoker. Fantastic!
