MOM'S MEATLOAF....... REALLY!!!



Mom's Meatloaf....... Really!!! image

This REALLY is my Mom's meatloaf recipe!!! I remember helping make this as a child, and hearing Mom say, "keep squeezing"!! When it was "squeezed" enough, we plopped it into an old glass casserole dish, and put it in the oven. This recipe is good for folks who can't have, or don't like, the chunks of peppers and onions that you find in most meatloaf. We even served it, listed on the menu as "Mom's Meatloaf", at my brother's restaurant. Our customers loved it! Simple AND tasty!

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 large meatloaf, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 lbs hamburger
3 -4 eggs, depending on size
2 packets lipton onion soup mix
3 cups oatmeal, not instant

Steps:

  • Empty soup mix packets into a small bowl and add 1/2 to 3/4 cup WARM water, stir with fork until well dissolved.
  • Set aside.
  • Place hamburger in large bowl.
  • Add eggs.
  • Work eggs into hamburger with your hands, squeezing handsful until eggs are well mixed with the hamburger.
  • The more you work the mixture, the better the meatloaf texture.
  • Add oatmeal and continue working the mixture until the oatmeal is mixed evenly throughout.
  • Pour the set aside soup mix over hamburger mixture, and again, work through with your hands.
  • Place mixture in baking dish of your choice, and form into a loaf.
  • Cover with lid or foil.
  • Bake at 350*, BASTING OFTEN, until done.
  • Bake covered for at least 1 hour.
  • Check if done by slicing down the middle, if there is no pink meat, it's done.
  • Note: If baking in a metal pan or roaster, grease the pan-- or the bottom of the meatloaf will, as Mom says,"get like shoe leather"!

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful meatloaf, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork.
  • Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meatloaf mixture. This will help to bind the ingredients together and prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry.
  • Season the meatloaf mixture generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meatloaf.
  • Form the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a baking dish. Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour, or until it is cooked through.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips in this article, you can make a delicious and moist meatloaf that will be a hit at your next dinner party or family gathering.
