CORNBREAD MEATLOAF



Cornbread Meatloaf image

Put your leftover cornbread to good use! From a neighbor when I lived down South. UPDATE (4/11/08): Change from original posting: I've always had to cook this about an hour, but I thought that was just me, so I when I originally posted this I left the cooking time at 3/4 hour, which was how I received it. However, since all the reviewers have noted that they, too, have to cook it longer, I have now changed the cooking time to 1 hour.

  • Bind the meatloaf properly: Ensure the meatloaf holds together well by using a binder such as eggs, bread crumbs, or oats. This will prevent it from crumbling during cooking.
  • Add moisture: Incorporate moisture-rich ingredients like sautéed vegetables, shredded zucchini, or applesauce to keep the meatloaf juicy and succulent.
  • Season generously: Don't shy away from using a variety of herbs and spices to enhance the flavor of the meatloaf. Experiment with bold flavors like chili powder, cumin, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
  • Cook to perfection: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C) for ground beef and 165°F (74°C) for ground turkey. This will ensure it's cooked thoroughly without overcooking and drying out.
