Caroles Country Meatloaf Recipes

COUNTRY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• In medium frying pan over medium heat, saute onion and celery until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Into large bowl, tear bread into small pieces.
• Add onion mixture, ground beef, carrot,salt,pepper,egg, and 1/2 of tomato sauce and mix well with a spoon.
• Turn mixture into a meatloaf pan( I use one with an insert that lets any grease drip to the bottom of the pan) and shape into a loaf.
• If not using a meatloaf pan, in a 12" by 8" baking dish, shape mixture into a 8" by 4" loaf.
• In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, and remaining tomato sauce.
• Spoon mixture evenly over meatloaf in pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
• Serve meatloaf warm or cover and refrigerate to serve cold later.

CAROLE'S COUNTRY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• 1. Combine and thoroughly mix all ingredients in a large bowl, by hand, except water. Add water a tablespoon at a time just to soften mixture.
• 2. Form into a loaf. Spray Pam or Olive Oil in loaf pan to help prevent sticking and fill pan with the meatloaf.
• 3. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour covered with aluminum foil to prevent top from becoming too crispy. After 1 hour, remove aluminum foil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes.
• 4. Serves 4-6. Variation: Mix meatloaf as above, but cut an opening down the middle lengthwise and add your favorite cheese (I use American). Seal opening and cook.
