Answer 1

This is my personal recipe and my family begs me to make it all the time. Even people who hate meatloaf love this, enjoy!

Moms Sweet & Sour Meatloaf

Sauce:

2 small cans tomato sauce

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

1/2 onion chopped

1 tablespoon dried parsley

1/2 cup brown sugar

Mix all sauce ingredients together in bowl, set aside.

Ingredients (Meatloaf):

2 pounds ground beef

1/2 chopped onion

1 egg, beaten

1/2 cup or more if needed, quick oatmeal (not instant)

1 teaspoon garlic salt

In another bowl add ground beef, 1/2 chopped onion, egg, oatmeal, garlic salt, pepper, and 1/3 of the sauce mixture. Mix together well.

Place in pan, making space between meat and pan around edges with fingers. Flatten top, spread more sauce over top and cook 1 hour, at 350F. Drain off grease half way (30 min) and add more sauce. Reserve some sauce for adding when served. The oatmeal disappears, is healthy and you can't taste it. It just holds it together better. Add more if you need it.

Answer 2

Easy and really good; great for sandwiches if there is any left over.

1 lb hamburger (most fat works better)

1 package saltene crackers (crunched up)

1\2 C milk

1 onion minced

1 egg

mix all together except for meat

Let crackers absorb the milk

Mix meat in and form a loaf in any type baking dish

cover with ketsup.

350 -400 degrees for an hour and 15 mins.

I usually nuke potatos and throw them in the oven with the meatloaf; then get crunchy outside and creamy inside.

Answer 5

2 pounds ground turkey

2 pounds ground beef

2 pounds ground pork

12 eggs

2 cups plain bread crumbs

1 ounce olive oil

3 ounces celery, chopped

2 ounces red bell pepper, chopped

3 ounces shiitake mushrooms, chopped

3 ounces button mushrooms, chopped

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon ground cumin

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 cup ketchup

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup brown sugar

12 slices bacon

Mozzarella cheese slices

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the turkey, beef, pork, eggs and breadcrumbs and fold ingredients until evenly combined.

In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil and heat. Add the celery, peppers and mushrooms and saute until translucent. Remove from heat and allow to completely cool. Once cooled, add to meat mixture along with garlic powder, cumin and salt and pepper, to taste, and combine.

Place meat mixture into large loaf pan.

In another small bowl, combine the ketchup, soy sauce and brown sugar and smooth and slather onto meat mixture, reserving some for basting. Top with bacon slices, place into preheated oven and cook for about 1 hour or until the meatloaf registers 180 degrees F when an instant-read thermometer is inserted into the center.

Once the meatloaf is at 180 degrees F, remove from the oven, top with extra sauce and cheese slices and place back into oven just until the cheese melts. Remove from the oven, cut and serve.

Cook's Note: If the sauce and bacon on the top starts to get too brown, cover the loaf pan with a piece of aluminum foil.
