Meatloaf!

I'm mostly just posting this entry because I'm super proud of the layout I made for this blog, lol!!! I figured a food related design would make more sense than the pink zebra print! :] Whatcha think?!

Anyhoo, now onto the food...

Growing up I was never a fan of meatloaf. I remember when my Grandma used to make it and she'd serve baked potatoes and some kind of veggie for side dishes and I used to hide my meatloaf underneath the potato skin, lol! I finally started liking it about 4-5 years ago.

After making them so many times, I realized that even if you use the same recipe each time, there's no way to get a meatloaf to taste the exact same way. So now I just used the basics my Grandma taught me and throw everything together.

Ingredients:


Add your meat to your mixing bowl. I use ground turkey. It usually comes in 1.5lb package.


Add your bread crumbs.


Add your eggs and milk.


Mmm, Jack Daniel's BBQ sauce!


A lot of people use fresh onions in their meatloaves, but we use the French Fried Onions instead!


Mix it all up! I thinks it's easier if you use your hands, even if it's messy.


Spray your loaf pan with Pam or other non-stick cooking sprays.


Mold your meatloaf into a loaf shape and put it in your pan.


Top with Worcestershire Sauce and more Jack Daniels.



Put in the oven and let the smell of it cooking drive you crazy, lol!


Perfect! We have a nice crispy top, and a moist and flavorful middle.


Serve it up with some mashed potatoes and corn and you've got a happy stomach!


Meatloaf
1.5lbs Ground Turkey (or beef)
1/4 cup Milk
1/2 cup Bread Crumbs (or crushed crackers)
2 Eggs
3/4 cup French Fried Onions
Salt/Pepper
About 1/4th cup BBQ sauce
Worcestershire Sauce

Preheat oven to 400*. Mix all of your ingredients together in a bowl. Form into a loaf and place it in your sprayed pan. Cover the top of the meatloaf with your Worcestershire Sauce (just enough to cover the top and sides) and again with your BBQ sauce. Bake for an hour.
