Jerrys Meatloaf Recipes

EASY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine the beef, egg, onion, milk and bread OR cracker crumbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste and place in a lightly greased 9x5-inch loaf pan, or form into a loaf and place in a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
• In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard and ketchup. Mix well and pour over the meatloaf.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour.

JERRY'S MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Crumble ground chuck into a large bowl.
• Sprinkle onion soup mix over meat. Mix together with wooden spoon (or dig in and use your hands).
• Add remaining meatloaf ingredients and mix well. Using your hands, while messy, works the best!
• Add a little water (up to 1/4 cup) if the mixture seems too dry. This depends on the moisture content of the ground chuck & your own personal preference.
• If possible, refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight, before baking, to allow the flavors to blend.
• Shape meat into a wide, flat loaf, and place in a 9 x 13 pan sprayed with cooking spray (makes cleanup easier).
• Bake at 350 for 1/2 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine sauce ingredients and mix well. Spread a thin layer of the sauce over the meatloaf after baking 1/2 hour.
• Return meatloaf to oven for about 1/2 hour, or until done. The loaf will be more firm when done. If in doubt, cut in half and check to make sure it isn't pink in the center.
• Serve hot, topped with more of the ketchup sauce, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Put beef and onions together in a lg. bowl. Mix well.
• Add bread crumbs, eggs, and milk, and mix well.
• Add rice and water, and mix well. (It will be soupy. It won't be like that when it's done).
• Add 1/2 cups ketchup, and 1/2 cups tomato sauce, salt and pepper, and mix well. I use my hands to mix it together. It doesn't look so good before being cooked, but it is when it is cooked!
