Posted: 5/20/2012 11:34:56 PM | I am a Texan! Our meatloaf was different. It is funny, meatloaf is something I rarely eat and it is basically a garbage meal when you put it next to the generally healthy roasted meats and seafood and good raw veggies and fruit I eat, but there are only a handful of dishes that people will stand adamantly for and defend so fiercely as their beloved meatloaf recipe. I always find that a great source of humor. I stand fiercely for mine too!
basically:
2.5# ground beef 80:20
1 large chopped onion
1/2 chopped green pepper
salt and pepper
3 eggs
1 cup crushed tomatoes
2 sleeves crushed saltines
Mix well, in a shallow baking pan or dish shape your loaf into the center, compacting it and smoothing it to a nice shape leaving plenty of space between the meat anbd the baking dish, all around.
Pour 1 cup crushed tomatoes and 1/2 cup water into baking pan around loaf.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes, covered.
Remove cover and top with a thick coating of Heinz ketchup, completely.
Bake uncovered for an additional 45 minutes.
The meal in our family circle consists of
Homemade Mashed Potatoes with real butter
Candied Carrots
Green Peas
Hot Mexican Cornbread
Corn on the Cob
Green Beans with bacon
Banana Pudding or Banana Cream Pie
See why I rarely have it? Like once every 5 years.... sort of like Chicken Fried Steak, but it has been at least 12 years since I had that.

Posted: 5/22/2012 12:28:28 AM | I'm going to try these recipes as well. My mom always cooked out of boxes and cans. My "from scratch" cooking I learned from my grandma when I went to her house for summer vacations as a child. I just started experimenting from there. Some recipes I just haven't gotten "tweaked" the way I want them, but I still work on them regularly to get that perfect "YUMMY" factor. I appreciate all of the recipes that y'all share. I"ll share some of my own that I've learned to make from trial and error as well.

Posted: 8/3/2012 5:40:51 PM | Well I must add my recipe to this ( It is not only one of my favorites but my parrot loves it too ) Ha Ha
Mix one pound of hamburger with chopped up onions and one egg and some quick quaker oats.
After all mixed put in casserole dish. Put a can of tomato or mushroom soup on top.
Cook in microwave for 20 mins and enjoy.
Easy and delicious. | |

i think it's a pretty safe bet to say that there isn't a single person that will read this thread looking for a meatloaf that they can serve their parrots.
call me crazy but i really doubt that ground cow and mushroom soup is something that a bird should be eating.
k.w.

I don't know what State to call mine. but I use the crushed tomatoes too and sometimes some finely grated carrot. | |

Posted: 8/10/2012 2:42:00 PM | | For some reason I don't like the taste of oatmeal in meatloaf or hamburgers, usually use bread or cracker crumbs or bread crumbs in the meatloaf. Usually make a tomato sauce type gravy or mushroom gravy, not into ketchup topping either. LOOOOOVVEEEE leftover cold meatloaf sammies. | |
