Best meatloaf recipe.

I've got my own. (On the fly.) Have not made it, in a while.

Had someone else's last night. Good, but not as good as my own.

I've got to make some of my own.

Please help, with recipes.


Thanks. [:D]

    Get in car, drive to Mom's house, eat meatloaf, hug Mom, go back home.
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    Ditto, except I take home sufficient leftover meatloaf for sandwiches.

    I will have to admit to you Bravo that I have never ever made meat loaf the exact same way more than once.

    I always use what I have in stock and also like to experiment a bit with new and different herbs and spices.

    The best ever meat loaf IMO was made with a combination of ground white tail venison, 1 Lb. along with 1 lb. of ground beef chuck, and a 1 Lb. tube of Jimmy Dean Savory Sage pork sausage.

    I have to run away from my computer right now but will continue with this later. [:p]

    Half Ground Chuck, Half Pork Sausage, and Half BACON!

    Use Seasoned Contadina Breadcrumbs.

    Plenty Worcestershire Sauce in the mix.

    Liberal Salt. Liberal Fresh Ground Black Pepper.

    Top with One: Heinz 57, A1, or HP Brown Sauce

    Variations: #1:skip the Half BACON!, and, using Thick Farmers cut BACON!, Form a latticework cover (after the chosen Sauce-or delete the Sauce). #2:Lipton Onion Soup Mix instead of liberal Salting.

    Bake the Free-form loaf on a bed of Stale Croutons, to be tossed after the cooking is done.

    My meat loaf is great but I do not measure anything. I put stuff in and add until I think there is enough and then add a bit more.

    I used to love the meatloaf, mashed potatoes and brown gravy served at my high school cafeteria. Found out later they used Wheaties cereal for the bread filler in it.

    Uh, are you mathmatecaly challenged??

    Your other % of ingredients is most suspect. [:p]


    I was most pleased however to see you include Bacon as a topping.


    (Although,) I am confused about the 1/2, 1/2 and 1)2 concentration of ingredients. [^]


    Maybe I should be using 2/3, 2/3 and 2/3rd level. Wouldn't that make larger portions? [:0] I[:D][}:)]

    Everybody knows it take 3 halves to make a whole.

    My personal recipe involves Italian bread crumbs. Eggs, onions, green Peppers, ground Chuck, tomato paste and bacon strips on top,


    Of course I adhere to the 1/2, 1/2 and 1/2 ratios. [:D]

    My recipe for meatloaf is to tell my wife that we haven't had meatloaf in too long. Not sure what exactly she does, but she makes a terrific meatloaf.

    Never, but NEVER Question the Engineer![:D]

    She Who Must Be Obeyed ordered me to make a Meatloaf while she was otherwise occupied, and supplied me with her recipe. It called for Half Ground Chuck, and Half Sage Pork Sausage. After She had a slice, she asked me what I did to improve it. I told her the 1/2,1/2, plus 1/2 BACON. She makes it that way now!

    That explains everything Handload.


    I will still adhere to the 2)3, 2)3 and 2)3 ratio, as I prefer larger portions. [:D]

    Please do not tell your Wife, I have improved upon her recipe.

    I am not looking to disrupt the flow, of your relationship.

    Talking about what "filler" to use in your meat loaf brings back memories of my late mom's recipe!

    She had a big family to feed on a tight budget, so a couple cups of Quaker Oats were used to stretch more proportions.

    Along with most of the other common ingredient's noted by most above she also would add 2 or 3 eggs to the mix, and a can of cream of mushroom soup.

    She always made double loaves and topped them with ketchup before baking. [:p]

    Then would make what she called "poor man's" gravy from the drippings.

    Of coarse, cholesterol hadn't been invented yet, back in those good ole days![:)]

    Making a nice batch of Meatloaf, just now. Appreciate the input from Members here.

    2 lbs. Ground Chuck, 6 eggs, 1/2-2/3 cup dried Italian Bread crumbs, 1 cup Garlic/Loaded mashed potato mix, 3 diced onions, 2 diced Green Peppers, handful of diced garden fresh hot peppers, liberal shots of Worcestershire sauce, couple shots of Crystal hot sauce, salt, pepper, 2 pkgs. of Meatloaf mix/spices, 1/2 pkg of dried beef gravy mix, thin sliced russet potatoes, covered with tomato paste, and smoked bacon latticed over top of loaf.

    400* for 1 hour. Drain grease)fat several times as needed.

    20-30 minutes more at 350*.



    What am I leaving out?

    Drained grease twice.

    Once onto Dogs premium dried mix.

    He loved it.


    House smells great.


    Good eats for days, and sliced sandwich fodder onto Premium deli sub type rolls/bread. Melted Provalone over sandwich. Mmmnnn.......
