Thanks to Carol, I discovered a food meme, and we all know I love food, right? This site has a Friday post called Favorite Ingredients Friday where you post a much-loved recipe from your household, including a picture if possible.
This meatloaf picture is actually from last March, but I made it again a couple of nights ago. Meatloaf is one of those meals I really didn’t care for when I was growing up. I didn’t like my mom’s meatloaf at all, even though there was nothing wrong with it at all, and while I would eat my grandmother’s just because she topped it with chili sauce, I wouldn’t say I *liked* it. Now I love meatloaf and when we replaced our stove with one that actually (gasp) has a working oven, that was one of the first things I wanted to make again. Easy, quick to prepare, and tasty, but the best reason to make meatloaf ever is just so you can have meatloaf sandwiches the next day for lunch.
This recipe is from taking bits and pieces of several different recipes that I liked.
Sherry’s Meatloaf
-1 lb ground beef, lean is preferable
-1 egg, beaten
-1 cup seasoned bread crumbs (I made my own with 4 slices dry bread, some garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne)
-1/2 cup milk
-1/4 cup dried onion soup mix
-1/4 cup finely chopped onion
-A few shakes Worcestershire sauce
Mix all in bowl until well blended. Press into loaf pan or shape into a loaf in a lightly greased 9×13 inch pan.
-1/3 cup ketchup
-2 tbsp mustard
-A few shakes Worcestershire sauce
-Optional: a few shakes of hot sauce of your choice (I used to like the one I had from Barbados but we finished it up, alas)
Stir ingredients in a measuring cup then pour over meatloaf.
Bake at 350 for one hour. YUM.
Now I’m hungry. Good thing I have leftovers so I can go make a sandwich!
I never liked meatloaf growing up either. Now i eat every now and then. Happy Friday.
My husband loves meatloaf sandwiches! Your recipe sounds delicious with the homemade seasoned bread crumbs. I can tell this recipe has lots of flavor with the mix of ingredients.
Oh, we LOVE meatloaf but mine always crumbles apart….not very good for sandwiches, but ohhh so yummy with mashed potatoes and gravy 🙂
I will give your recipe a try for tomorrow night’s dinner…..thanks!
This sounds so good! I I
Sorry- my computer went nuts and it posted too soon. Anyway. I was going to say- I can’t wait to try this! Have a great weekend.
Wow, that meatloaf picture looks fantastic! My mouth is watering. 🙂 I haven’t made meatloaf in ages so I’m going to have to give your recipe a try soon!
I’m so glad you could join us in my Favorite Ingredients Friday recipe exchange! I do appreciate your participation!
I made this on Saturday night for dinner, and it was DELISH!!!!! Definitely a keeper! I posted about it on my blog 🙂
Wow, that does sound good. And very similar to one I make except I don’t use the onion soup mix but just a generic meatloaf mix sauce packet that I doctor with the other ingredients. I’ll have to try this one. Thanks for sharing.
I just wanted to comment and let you know I keep this recipe bookmarked and use it often. I like to get creative and toss stuff in. This time I doubled it, substituting some leftover sausage ball ingredients I had in my freezer. (1lb spicy sausage, 3 cups bisquick, 10 oz grated sharp cheddar–bake on 350F for 18 minutes) for 1/4 lb of the meat and it was divine. Keep up the great recipes, I always try them!
