This is the result of changes I had to make to a recipe I got from the Zaar. It was very good and I would like to be able to duplicate it again.

Categories     Meat

Time 1h35m

Yield 2 loaves, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs ground beef
1 1/2 cups crushed saltines (1 row plus 8 crackers)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Emeril's Original Essence, original
1 1/2 teaspoons beef bouillon powder
1/3 teaspoon black pepper
2/3 cup tomato sauce (or use tomato paste cut in half with water)
1 large sweet onion (vidalia, Walla Walla, or Texas sweet)
1/2-3/4 teaspoon canned garlic (from jar)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1 1/3 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 1/3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • In a very large bowl put hamburger, crackers crumbled,salt, essence, boullion powder, and black pepper - set aside.
  • Cut onion into larger pieces and put it in the food processor with the garlic -- pulse until pieces are small. Dump onion mixture into the bowl with the meat.
  • Beat the three eggs (in the food processor if you don't want to dirty a bowl) and add them to the meat bowl.
  • Add the tomato sauce to the meat bowl and use your hands to mix all very well (I like to wear rubber gloves to save on clean-up time).
  • Divide meat mixture in half. Form into two loaves on the botton of your broiler pan or a roasting pan. Leave room between loaves for even baking.
  • In smaller bowl mix together with a fork; ketchup, brown sugar, water, mustard and cider vinegar. This is your topping -- Brush tops and sides of loaves with this before baking and again while baking.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 25 minutes.
  • When I remove the pan from the oven I like to pour off the excess oil in the bottom of the pan. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Slice thick and pieces should hold together well.

I love making this meatloaf in the summer. I grill it instead of baking it and it always turns out amazing. The smoky flavor from the grill really takes it to the next level.

This meatloaf is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. I always sneak in some chopped carrots and celery, and they never even notice. The meatloaf is so flavorful that they just gobble it up.
