Cin's

Turned out to be a very tasty meatloaf. My Hubby said,''wow, that was good...can I take a meatloaf sandwich in my lunch?'' The next day I used some of the leftovers to make a "Meatloaf Cheese Quesada". I made it by using some creamy spinach dip for the spread inside...yummmmmO!!! Photos By: CinStraw

Categories     Meatloafs

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb of each: lean ground beef and sausage
3 eggs
1/3 c sun dried tomato tapenade
1/3 c purple-onion chopped
1/3 c green bell pepper (chopped)
1/3 c celery (chopped, use leafy parts too)
1 Tbsp minced garlic chopped (spice world)
1 1/2 Tbsp ground ginger (spice world)
1 c bread crumbs (chopped real fine)
1/4 c crushed 'white cheddar' flavored crackers
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 can(s) (sm) hunts tomato paste (use 3/4 in meatloaf mixture, retain 1/4)

Steps:

  • 1. Grease loaf pans with extra-virgin olive oil. Preheat oven to 350 dF.
  • 2. Topping: Using the 1/4 can tomato paste you retained add 1/4 c ketchup and 1/8 c vidalia onion poppyseed dressing...mix together well, set aside.
  • 3. Grab yourself a large mixing bowl (big enough to get your hands in), to mix ingredients up. Add aLL ingredients together, (except topping mix), and combine well.
  • 4. Put into oiled loaf pans and spread your topping all over the top of each loaf. This mixture will make enough to fill 1-regular sized loaf pan plus 2-mini loaf pans (or 2-regular loaf pans).
  • 5. Bake for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours (or when the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160 dF)...I baked all 3 in oven at the same time together, so it took about 1-1/2 hours to bake it, When baked let it rest about 5 minutes or more, on cooling racks before removing from pan to platter, then it's ready to eat. Enjoy!!!!

Don't bother with this meatloaf. It's a complete disaster.

This meatloaf is a waste of time and ingredients. It's not worth making.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my meatloaf didn't look anything like the picture. It was a big disappointment.

This meatloaf was easy to make, but it didn't turn out very well. It was dense and dry.

I found this meatloaf to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.

This meatloaf is a little dry for my taste, but the flavor is good.

This meatloaf is easy to make and always turns out perfectly. It's a great weeknight meal.

I love the addition of the sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts. They add a nice Mediterranean flair to the dish.

This is the best meatloaf I've ever had! The Italian seasoning gives it a unique and delicious flavor.

This meatloaf was a hit with my family! It was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
