I must confess: we love comfort food
in my house. Probably why we are so overweight, but whatever. The
other day I made another one of our favorites. Meatloaf, yum!!! I've
had this recipe for so long I have no idea where it came from. Its
been in my recipe box since at least 1993. So almost 20 years. It has
served its purpose on more than one occasion. And over the years I
have tried to 'lighten' it up by taking out one of the two pounds of
ground beef and replacing it with one pound of ground turkey. It's
not the same, but pretty close. I did make the error in judgment of
having the meatloaf before heading out to Zumba. Big mistake. It sat
like a rock in my belly while jumping around like a crazy person at
Zumba. Won't make that mistake again! Anyway, I wanted to share the
recipe and also confess that I love my as seen on TV meatloaf pan. So
worth the $15 to be able to get the meatloaf out without all the
greasy parts and accidentally dumping the entire thing in the sink.
Yep done that before!
Meatloaf
2 pounds ground beef or 1 pound ground
beef, 1 pound ground turkey
1 package dry onion soup mix
2 eggs slightly beaten
¾ cup dry breadcrumbs (plain or
seasoned)
¾ cup water
1/3 cup ketchup
Mix all ingredients in a bowl or large
plastic bag. Personally, I use my kitchen aid stand mixer with the
dough hook. Place in loaf pan or shape into loaf and place on a 9x12
baking dish. Bake uncovered until done, about 1-1 ½ hours at 350
degrees. I also put some ketchup on top for extra flavor.
Fresh out of the oven,
mine looks light because I used half turkey, half beef.
Easy to get out of the pan because I have the
special as seen on TV meatloaf pan.
Happy Cooking!
