spacer40 Best Recipe Contest for August's recipe contest is: Awesome Meat Loaf

Meatloaf is a dish of ground meat that has been combined with other ingredients, formed into the shape of a loaf, then baked or smoked. The final shape is either hand-formed on a baking tray or pan-formed by cooking it in a loaf pan. It is usually made with ground beef, although ground lamb, pork, veal, venison, poultry, and seafood are also used, sometimes in combination. The cooked meatloaf can be sliced like a loaf of bread to make individual portions. It can easily become dry; therefore, various techniques exist to keep the dish moist, like mixing in bread crumbs and egg, covering it with sauce, wrapping it, or using moisture-enhancing ingredients in the mixture, such as filling it with fatty meats, cheeses, or vegetables.

Mom was a fantastic cook and she did the majority of the cooking. But Dad had a handful of recipes of his own that he would occasionally make, and this was one of them.

    • 1/2 cup catsup

    • 1/3 cup brown sugar firmly packed

    • 1 tsp dry mustard

    • 1/2 tsp allspice

    • 1/8 tsp ground cloves

For the meat mixture:


    • 1 1/2 lbs ground chuck

    • 4 slices bread (torn into small pieces)

    • 1 tbsp lemon juice

    • 1/4 cup minced onion

    • 1 egg slightly beaten

    • 1 tsp salt

Directions:


Mix first 5 ingredients together, set 1/2 of it aside
