COTTAGE CHEESE MEATLOAF FROM 1968



Cottage Cheese Meatloaf from 1968 image

The recipe comes from the Sunset Ground Beef Cookbook 1968 and has been one of our all-time favorite meatloaf recipes because of the taste as well as how quickly everything is put together and baked. To up the taste I have included 1 clove of garlic minced. It's a very light textured meatloaf in a shallow pan instead of the typical loaf pan style. I am mostly putting this recipe here for safekeeping since my book is getting more and more stained after 4 decades of use. I normally eat this meatloaf with a side of ketchup and I suppose I should come up with a topping that goes on before Parmesan cheese but haven't done that yet. There is already a very similar recipe posted on zaar that uses a microwave to cook the meat.

  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can result in a tough, dry loaf.
  • Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meatloaf mixture. This will help to bind the ingredients together and prevent the loaf from becoming dry.
  • Add your favorite seasonings and spices to the meatloaf mixture. Some popular choices include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a loaf pan at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the loaf.
