How do your make your meatloaf different from everybody elses?
i add velveeta cheese and bacon
Answers:
I make the average meat loaf, crumbs, egg, spices then I pat it down about an inch thick and form it into a rectangle, put ham slices all over the meat, top that with cheese and broccoli then roll it up.
bake and when it's done you slice it like a log and watch your family or companies faces when they see the swirl of goodies in the middle.
Good stuff.
i add mushrooms & red bell peppers to mine, my husband absolutely LOVES IT!!!
i make it with beef or turkey and use bbq sauce brown sugar kind and lea an perians and bread crumbs alittle italian style garlic onion and one egg then form the meat loaf take out center and fill with shredded cheddar cheese white in particular and fill center up again and then I put in the oven to cook its a great surprise i usually make my meat loaf into minis so everyone has their own
I use Ritz crackers instead of breadcrumbs,and Parmesan cheese in mine.
I use my own French bread crumbs from a loaf I made the day before. And usually a can of green chiles or jalapenos for a little zip.
I saute chopped platter bacon with onion and garlic, add 1 15 oz can of diced tomatoes and let it simmer until thickened. I take half of that mixture and add it to my beef, along with 2 eggs, 1 package of Liptons Herb and Garlic soup mix, 2 T Worcestershire, 1 tsp fresh ground pepper, 3/4 cup Italian bread crumbs and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese. I form it into a loaf and, to the remaining tomato mixture, I add 1 T dijon mustard, 3 T brown sugar and simmer until thickened. I pour this over the loaf and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.
try this recipe sometime, its so good
Meatloaf with Mushroom Gravy
3/4 pound ground chuck
3/4 pound ground pork
3/4 pound ground veal
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 slices bread, crusts removed
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
salt and pepper
1 large hard-cooked egg, peeled
2 tablespoons diced onion
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon flour
2 cups beef broth
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground meats; blend with the finely chopped onion and set aside.
Tear the trimmed bread into small pieces; soak in the milk until most of the milk has been absorbed.
In a medium bowl, combine the soaked bread with the beaten eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. With your hands, blend the egg mixture thoroughly with the meat. Season with salt and pepper. Place one-third of the meat mixture on a baking sheet (with sides), mounding it slightly in the center. Form mixture into an oval shape. Place the hard-cooked egg in the center; mound the remaining meat on the top and pack down. Bake meatloaf in a preheated 400° oven for one hour.
While the meatloaf is baking, sauté the diced onion and mushrooms in the oil until tender. Add the flour; cook until lightly browned. Add the broth and simmer for about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, slice the meatloaf; top with mushroom sauce. Meatloaf serves 6.
Ha ha ha! This is a question for my grandmother...when I was little, she couldn't find any crackers or breadcrumbs to help bind it together, so she added Trix cereal...Yep! We cut into it and saw little colored balls all through it...now THAT is surely different from everyone else's!
(She is one VERY unique lady!!)
I add so many things
I clean up the leftover veggies in the frig.
broccoli, bell pepper, carrots, cauliflower, onions green and yellow,,,,
including cooked rice and the usual egg, oatmeal, spices.
I add some salsa (not too much or the meatloaf falls apart too easily) and a little corn along with the crumbed bread & onions and call it "Mexican Meatloaf," lol. It's the only way my husband actually likes meatloaf.
i add chopped carrots and celery and shape it like a giant meatball. hahaha
