Meat loaf recipe


1 pound ground chuck (or sirloin or whatever you like)
1 pound mild Italian sausage (or hot, or you could use Jimmy Dean, I reckon)
1 cup fine bread crumbs
2 eggs
⅓ cup whole milk (I usually use half and half instead)
½ cup marinara (I use Newman’s Own - the original recipe called for ketchup - bleh)
5 cloves garlic (I use 3 heaping tablespoons of the minced garlic in a jar)
2.25 t salt (I prefer sea salt - and I go heavy on the salt_
1.5 t black pepper (I go heavy)
2 T Mrs Dash
1 t Italian seasoning
1 T worcestershire sauce
1 T A1
1 T Italian salad dressing (I prefer Newman’s Family Style)
2 T good olive oil (I go a bit heavy)
1 large onion or 2 medium onions
1 green pepper


In a mixing bowl, put bread crumbs, milk and eggs. Chop onion(s), green pepper, and garlic.

Heat oil in a large pan and put in onions, pepper, and garlic. Add half of the salt, pepper, and Dash. Saute until onions are clear and/or softened.

Put all remaining ingredients and half of the marinara in the mixing bowl and mix. When the pan ingredients are ready, add them and mix thoroughly. I use a mixer - it’s easier than stirring with a spoon. When ready, you can shape it on a coffee sheet. I use a loaf pan. Put the remaining marinara on top and cook in a 375 degree over for 75 minutes.

Oooh meat loaf! This was a staple when we were kids; my mother made it every week. Only way to feed three boys on a budget!
 
We'll know shortly.


The original recipe called for half a pound of pork sausage and a pound and a half of ground beef. Now, who's gonna separate all that stuff and weigh it out??? Not Wat. A pound of each, that was my first change. The second was to deep 6 the ketchup. Fuck that. Wonderer sauce would be good, too.
Yeah I qm the same way... I will make adjustments to my recipe to suit my taste and or budget.... for some reason around here you can't get loose Italian sausage and if you do it is more expensive than links. I get the links and de link them..... it will be just fine
 
Well it’s been a good day. Spent a couple of hours at the shooting ground with Jack. I will upload and talk about that in due course. Got home and got the grass cut. Then sorted out my hunting stuff for the geese ready for when that really gets going in two weeks. Seeing some of you talking about boots recently these are my hill boots. Just been cleaned and waxed ready for the week. I alternate pairs when we get wet weeks to dry and rest the leather as they take a hammering on the hill. Made by Brandecosse the oldest are still keeping my feet dry after seven seasons.
Great looking boots.

You sound prepared and ready for hunting season.

Looks good. Similar to mine but I think I’ll try your version next! Sounds yummy and tangier than mine.
