Meatloaf

I have been meaning to post my Meatloaf recipe from FREEZE-O-RAMA and the FREEZE-quel, so without further ado I give you My Awesome Meatloaf.

Now first ya need to go read up on my favorite Meatloaf Pan… go on now, I’ll wait…

…

…

OK, now that your meatloaf pan life is complete, here is an awesome recipe to fill it with! This recipe will make 2 loaves, so cut in half if you only want one.

Take 2 lbs extra lean ground beef (or ground turkey 😉 )

Add Kosher Salt to your taste

Toss in 2 eggs

1 sleeve of crush saltines

1/2 cup chopped Red or Green Bell Pepper

1 chopped medium onion

3/4 cup Ketchup…I heart Ketchup 😉

Mix’er up with a spoon…

Then “get real” and get your hands dirty.

Lay one of your lovely magical pans (top pan only) on a piece of foil.

Fill with 1/2 of your mixture and then repeat for second loaf.

Cover loaves with Press N Seal.

Cover with foil and freeze.

Thaw and cover in ketchup before baking for 25-30 minutes in 350 degree oven.

Enjoy!

And, a new addition for Original GOODe GOODeNESS…

    This sounds yummy, but Toby is not a fan of any kind of meatloaf 🙁 I do LOVE the recipe card thing though. How did you get that? That would be great for Mom's Kitchen!

    Love that you put turkey in there! But, I do half turkey, half beef. Turkey just doesn't have enough fat to make great meatloaves and burgers.

    I, too, use cracker crumbs.

    This looks yummy as I heart ketchup too.

    For the messy part, I usually mix up my meatloaf in a ziploc bag. I just add my ingredients to the bag, zip it up, and then use my hands to manipulate the bag. When it is all mixed up, I put it in the pan.
