Meatloaf is an honest recipe. Ingredients can’t hide in meatloaf. Whatever you throw in there will remain identifiable. You can make your recipe as simple as meat, bread, eggs, and seasoning, or you can really dress it up with an assortment of vegetables. Whatever you choose tp throw in it, meatloaf is meatloaf, unless it’s eaten with friends. Then it can become something much more special.
After traveling about Nevada for the morning, Ace and I decided to try his recipe for The World’s Best Meatloaf.
For the Meatloaf:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/3 cup grated carrot
- 1/3 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/3 cup finely chopped mushroom
- 2 large egg whites, slightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup catsup
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 teaspoons canned diced garlic
- 1/4 package of McCormick’s Meat Loaf Seasoning.
Preheat the oven to 350. Mix all the ingredients by hand.
Evenly flatten the meatloaf mixture in the bottom of a small baking pan. During the cooking, the meat will shrink away from the sides of the pan, leaving a space for the grease to accumulate.
Cook for 30 minutes. Drain off most of the grease and cook for another 10 minutes.
Enjoying a home cooked meal with a friend is the best feeling in the world.
