(inspired by FGM)

While meatloaf, to me, is more of an "approach" than a recipe set in stone; here is what I would do if I had to make a meatloaf right now.....

2# Ground Chuck

1# Ground Pork

1 Med. Onion minced

1 Green Pepper minced

2 cloves of garlic minced

2-3 celery stalks minced

Three eggs

A couple cups of bread crumbs

**** sauce

olive oil

1) Fry the minced veggies in oil for a few minutes until softened.........add this to the meat mix.

2) Mix up the meat, veggies, and eggs......add bread crumbs until a consistency is achieved where the mixture no longer sticks to your hands.

3)Glaze with **** sauce.

4) cook

^Awesome. I've done a similar meatloaf, but done it "stuffed" (cheese and spinach in a kind of pocket down the middle -- dinner all in one dish, easy on the veggies!).

Good stuff.

June Cleaver would just faint dead away.

I'll just join yours!

2 lbs ground venison

1 green bell pepper

1 lg red onion

3 cloves garlic

1 egg

1 teaspoon seasonall

fresh ground pepper

Combine and mix all ingredients (you might have to squish it together with your hand) and place in meatloaf pan of casserole dish.

Cover with thin layer of tomato ketchup

Preheat ove to 425 and back for 1 hour.

Serving with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and corn on the cob (note: I like to add a little garlic and onion crabboil to the water I boil the corn in...gives it a little zing). Oh, and wheat dinner rolls.

FGM,

Do you put the green pepper, onion, and garlic in whole???????

I like his first album a lot, but the rest suck.

LOL! No, it gets chopped up!

^Heh.

I might add two things....

Soak your bread crumbs in milk......Then squeeze out the excess milk prior to adding to the mix....

Second......Take a full pack of bacon (Two if you make a big loaf), cut it in half length wise.......then after you build the loaf.... layer the bacon on the top being sure to cover the whole loaf completely.......

If you put a six pack in the freezer prior to building the loaf....... It will be cold as Ice by the time you put that baby in the oven.........Nothing like drinking a ICE cold beer waiting on a chunk of meat to cook........

Mmmm Mmmm Good!!!!!

Also, A few years ago I got on a big Garlic kick....

You can put a whole clove in a bowl with some water...kick it in the microwave, keep a good eye on it and not for that long....... when it just gets a little soft.. take it out and run it under some cold water.......Pop the skin off and I can eat it like pop corn......

I used to make a mean meatloaf - used tomato soup along with much of what Andy included - most excellent!

#9.........I have a recipe for "Bourbon Meatloaf",

Make a meatlof

Drink Bourbon

Bat Out of Hell was a great album

#13 Absolutely. Then he put out such a flaming piece of crap, with that repetitive and insanely stupid song that got played to F'ing death. BooH II was inexcusable. Hmmmm...just checked, he had a couple out in between I haven't heard. Wonder where the hell those went? May have to check them out, but I doubt they could top BooH.

I was expecting to see an homage to the singer here.

Bwwwwaaaaahaaaahaaaaa

Aharrrr

something that I have done in the past for people who have gluten issues...omit the bread crumbs and add freshly grated Parmesan cheese

^What to do if they're also lactose intolerant? I add a cup of cedar sawdust instead of the cheese.

"gluten issues?" Isn't that like a fat person saying they have a "glandular problem?"

Oh, and didn't Meatloaf make an annoying commercial (cellphones?) with his son?
