Ingredients

4 1/2 lb 90% lean ground beef
2 lb lean ground turkey
4 slice texas toast crumbled( or 6 slices regular bread)
1 can(s) hunts manwich ( your choice of flavor)
4 large eggs room temperature
1 large white or spanish onion, chopped
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 large red or green bell pepper, chopped
2 pkg lipton onion soup mix dry
1 Tbsp garlic powder or minced garlic
1 Tbsp onion powder
2 tsp dried thyme
1 large can evaporated milk
1 1/2 tsp coarse black pepper
1/4 c fresh chopped parsley (optional)
3/4 c heinz catsup
salt if desired

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine onion soup mix with evaporated milk, stir and allow to sit until onions are rehydrated about 10 to 15 minutes. Spray a Half Sheet Cake Pan with non stick cooking spray and set aside till needed. I also like to use foil for easier clean up.
2. In a large mixing bowl add the ground turkey and ground beef. Process texas toast into bread crumbs, and then sprinkle over meat.
3. Crack eggs and add to mixing bowl of ground meats, then add chopped onions, bell pepper, spices, chopped parsley, & Hunts Manwich, then add the evaporated milk mixture, now proceed to combine thourgly. I like to use my hands for this part, but use what ever method you are most comfortable with.
4. After meat mixture has been thourgly combined, divide mixture evenly & shape into 2 loaves, and put in prepared pan. Divide catsup evenly to cover top of both meat loaves.
5. Bake in pre heated 350 degree F. oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 15 minutes then slice and serve.
6. NOTE YOU CAN DIVIDE THIS RECIPE IN HALF OR BAKE BOTH AND SAVE ONE FOR ANOTHER MEAL AT A LATER TIME.

Tips:

Use quality ingredients: Fresh, good-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your banana bread. Use ripe bananas, and make sure your other ingredients are fresh as well.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the banana bread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined. The batter will be lumpy, and that's okay.
Bake the banana bread at the right temperature: The correct baking temperature for banana bread is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake it at a higher temperature, the outside will be overcooked before the inside is done.
Let the banana bread cool completely before serving: This will help the bread to set and firm up. It will also make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

With its moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and simple ingredients, banana bread is a classic recipe that will never go out of style. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, a tasty snack, or a dessert to enjoy with friends and family, banana bread is a great choice. Experiment with different variations of the recipe to find your favorite, and enjoy this delicious bread for years to come!
