Anybody have a good meatloaf recipe?

i always use paul prudhomme's recipe from his original cookbook; it always comes out great. of course, i don't have the cookbook in front of me so i can't be of much help supplying the actually recipe. it might be online somewhere.

I dont know the exact amount she puts in, but as a binder my mother in law uses Zapp's craw tater's. Her meat loaf is awesome.

** For added flavor, empty a bottle of light beer into a saucepan and reduce by about 80%

You would tell someone or even admit to reducing a perfectly good beer by 80%...People like you just burn me up...wait...oh, I see...A light beer....well that's alright then...carry on

Use oatmeal instead of breadcrumbs. That's my #1 tip.

#2 is add brown sugar and cinnamon to the glaze.

Works great!

Here is something a little different, but its still damn good:

Turkey Zucchini Meatloaf –
- 1.25 lbs ground Turkey (get the 85/15)
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- ¾ cup grated onion
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup parsley
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Slap ya mama or your seasoning of choice

Glaze:
- ¼ cup peach preserves
- 4 tsp Dijon mustard
- Few dashes of hot sauce

Heat oven to 350; combine turkey, zucchini, onion, breadcrumbs, parsley, egg, salt, pepper, and garlic in large bowl and mix well. Bake for 30 minutes. While in oven, mix preserves, hot sauce, and mustard in a bowl. After 30 minutes, spread glaze over top. Return to oven for 20 minutes (I like to turn the broiler on for a few minutes to carmelize the top – be careful not to burn!) Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

Alternatively, you could drink 15-20 beers, do a shot of Goldschlager, eat a tub of Cool Whip, and chase that by chugging a bottle of Karo, then urinate into a stock pot. Light briefly until mangrease burns off, reduce by 50%, and add a beef bouillon cube. Stir. Stir. No, more.

Maybe the best meatloaf I've ever tasted.

i completely agree; this is the only recipe i use.

This is a recipe for meatloaf stuffed with ham and cheese.. It's different but it came out moist and delicious.. and makes great leftover sandwiches.

Measure Ingredient
1 1/4 pounds Ground sirloin
1 large Onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Prepared mustard, preferably Dijon
1 can Tomato soup (10 3/4 oz)
2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
1 Green bell pepper, finely chopped
2 larges Eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup Plain bread crumbs
1/8 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Black pepper
1 Garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon Dried oregano
6 slices Boiled ham (thin slices)
1 cup Mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
3 slices Mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 400'F. Lightly oil a 9x5x3" pan. In a large bowl, combine the meatloaf ingredients, adding more bread crumbs if necessary, a tablespoon at a time, to make a firm loaf. Lightly spray a large piece of aluminum foil. Place the meat mixture on the foil, and form into a 12x8" rectangle. Arrange the ham on top of the meat, leaving a small margin around the edges. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the ham slices. Starting from the short end, carefully roll the meat mixture jelly-roll style. Seal the edges and ends. Place the loaf seam side up in the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top of the meatloaf with the flour. Bake 1 hour or until done. The center of the loaf will be pink because of the ham. Top the loaf with slices of cheese, then return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts. (Option: Broil the loaf to melt the cheese. Watch it carefully.)
