Looking for a good Meatloaf recipe...

[real1shep]

The inescapable truth about the Internet is <a name="start_35082.378166"></a>Allrecipes.com. I have dozen of cookbooks I've picked up over the yrs....even one with recipes for wood cookstoves. I rarely look in one anymore. I just Goggle what I want, read the feedback, look at the list of ingredients and decide if I want to make it. 95% of the time, it turns out splendid.


 


<a name="start_35082.378166"></a>The original Crockpot Cookbook has a good meatloaf recipe....used it for yrs on my sons. Many of you who like to dress up recipes and cane your guests if they don't give you the appropriate compliments....probably wouldn't like it. What I've learned as I've read recipes from around the country, people's opinions/tastes vary GREATLY on what a particular recipe should be. 



 


When I had my farm in MO, I took care of an older farm couple done the road as they got feeble. They paid me back with food & treats....bless them. The gal was very old school and wouldn't share her recipes...secrecy. She made the best Jefferson Davis pie I ever had, bar none and the best applesauce. Most of her recipes were from her grandmother which would take you back to the 1800's.  And you don't make good southern pecan pie with Karo syrup....


 


Good times.....

Breadcrumbs, ketchup and onion but the real secret to an awesome meatloaf is mix in shredded mimolette cheese.

Lower Fat Meat Loaf

i prefer meatloaf made with lean ground beef 90/10 or 94/6 the I use bread crumbs, or ground oatmeal, 1 small grated onion, 1 med grated carrot in the mix. the liquid of choice is milk. 1 tsp salt. 1/2 tsp red pepper (cayenne) Mixed just until blended. Molding into a loaf and cooked in an electric skillet, covered. Temp set at 275 - 280 degrees. for about 30 min. then 225 for 45 min

I have tried baking for an hour at 350 using a foil sling, on a low rack in a shallow pan with two strips of bacon on top and like the results
