Meatloaf
No, no, not Meatloaf…meatloaf. (Although Bat Out Of Hell is an awesome road trip album.) I don’t have a photo of my meatloaf because let’s face it – it isn’t a pretty food. It is a yummy comfort food and we love it no matter how it looks. Everyone has their own meatloaf recipe. I have 3 but this one is the go to recipe because it is quick and easy. It is a melding of the other 2.
Meatloaf
2 lbs ground lean beef (sometimes I like a pound of beef and a pound of ground pork)
1 box/bag herb seasoned croutons (5 or 6 ounces)
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 can condensed tomato soup (I use about 3/4 of the can but you can use it all if you like your meatloaf really moist)
1 – 2 tsp ground chipolte pepper
Salt and pepper
Put the croutons into food processor and pulse until they are crumbs. Pour into a metal or glass bowl with rest of ingredients. Squish all of this together in a bowl. Form into a loaf and put into a baking dish – 8×8 or 9×13 – whatever you have.
Topping
1/4 cup ketchup
1 Tablespoon honey
1 Tablespoon worchershire sauce
Couple of shakes of cumin
Couple of shakes of Cayenne Pepper sauce or ground cayenne pepper
Stir all of this together and pour over meatloaf. Bake at 350 for an hour(ish).
Healthy? Nope. Just simple and oh so yummy when you need some comfort food.
I really thought you were going to say something about Meatloaf, the musician!! Sounds like a great recipe though!
Yummy!!!!
Ummm – I’m not sure you should put a picture of either Meatloaf on your blog. Just sayin’.
two out of three ain’t bad. (snap!)
