Sounds good...May i suggest a topper.

Combine equal amounts of brown sugar and ketchup, stir in a bowl, add to top of your meatloaf, then cook!! Delicious!

I am in search of a good ole fashion meatloaf and haven't found a recipe to my liking. I'll have to give this one a try. I must have tried about 8 different recipes so far.

a trick I have been doing as of late.. instead of bread crumbs.. i use garlic croutons. Give it a try.

Been using this topping for years, and its the best tasting I've ever had, I guess its Norwegian style, don't know why though....give it a try .. I make a little more and really cover it, I also chopped up an onion and surrounded the meatlof with it.....delicious.....

Piquant Sauce

6 tbsp brown sugar

½ cup ketchup

½ tsp nutmeg

2 tsp ground dry mustard

Combine ingredients and spread over meatloaf for last 20 minutes of baking.

One of our favorite ways to make up a meatloaf is to spread the burger out thin on some type of wrap. I will then put on pizza sauce, Italian seasoning's(oregano,basil.thyme,rosemary) along with some mushrooms and mozzarella cheese and then roll it up tight and be sure to pinch the ends real tight. When it is close to done put a little more sauce and cheese on top. The leftovers make a great sandwich.

I cheat and use one of those McCormick meatloaf seasoning packets. It's pretty tasty.

Maybe you don't like meatloaf??

[delcecchi]

Do you prefer all beef or the mixture of beef, pork, (veal or turkey)?

Have you been hiding in my kitchen?! I do this, too.

I always have meat loaf for sam's during deer hunting, doesn't the larger croutons leave little mushy spots? Or do you mash them smaller like crumbs? Sounds good though.

Im surprised no one has chimed in here to say use Oats instead of break crumbs. I have also seen saltine crackers used as well.

leech: I crunch up the croutons. I also use Herb crackers, (Just don't do the whole wheat ones) and also Ritz once in a while. In a pinch, I've used garlic breadsticks crumbled up...the hard ones.

Sounds great! Now if I can only get the wife to break from Ma's old recept!

A neat surprise and tastes great, put 3 hard boiled eggs layed lengthways in the middle of your meatloaf. :>)

[SkunkedAgain]

Hmmmm.....egg surprise

Recently I was reading about free-form meatloaf (no loaf pan so it browns evenly) so I made one of those the other week. Mrs. Skunked Again really enjoy it. I made it by separating the meat into two halves, formed a pouch in the middle of each, threw in a mixture of chopped spinach and swiss cheese, and then put the top on and pinched the edges -- like a juicy lucy. That made a nice stuffed meatloaf.

This sounds like it would taste good smoked too!! I'm going to try this sometime.

Thanks!
