DETHBERT'S SWEET POTATO MEATLOAF



Dethbert's Sweet Potato Meatloaf image

I like meatloaf and have been working on this recipe for some time; I think I've got it pretty close. This is not a simple, easy, and inexpensive meatloaf like many are, but it sure is tasty. Be careful, my times are based on glass bread pans; don't overcook the meat if you are using tin.

  • Use a variety of ingredients. Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients in your meatloaf. Some popular additions include bread crumbs, eggs, milk, onions, celery, and carrots.
  • Season your meatloaf well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste. Some popular choices include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
  • Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape. You can use a loaf pan or a free-form method. If you're using a loaf pan, grease it well before adding the meatloaf mixture.
  • Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the meatloaf to hold its shape.
