Meatloaf


We love meatloaf in our house. My husband used to be the one to make it, until I took a shot at it. Now we use my recipe. Well, tonight we didn't have the ingredients that I usually use so I had to come up with something new. Now I have 2 recipes for meatloaf, #1 is tangy and #2 is sweeter.

Recipe #1
1 cup ketchup
1 Tb Worcestershire sauce
3 Tb brown sugar, packed
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 lbs ground beef (we use ground venison as my husband is an avid deer hunter)
1 1/2 cups fine bread crumbs
2 large eggs
couple shakes Morton's seasoning salt
couple shakes tomato-basil-garlic seasoning

Grease loaf pan. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine ketchup, Worcestershire sauce & brown sugar until smooth. Put 1/4 cup mixture aside.

Mix remaining sauce with the onion, ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs & seasonings.

Put in loaf pan & place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 1 hour, 15 minutes. Spread remaining sauce over meatloaf, bake for 15 minutes longer.


Recipe #2
1 cup ketchup
1 Tb honey
3 Tb brown sugar, packed
1 packet dry onion soup mix
2 lbs ground beef
1 1/4 cups fine bread crumbs
2 large eggs
couple shakes Morton's seasoning salt
couple shakes basil flakes
couple shakes garlic powder

Grease loaf pan. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine ketchup, honey & brown sugar until smooth. Put 1/4 cup mixture aside.

Mix remaining sauce with dry onion soup mix, ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs & seasonings.

Put in loaf pan & place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 1 hour, 15 minutes. Spread remaining sauce over meatloaf, bake for 15 minutes longer.
