Meat Loaf Recipe

MEAT LOAF

From Soul Food Recipes
by Willie Crawford

Meat loaf was always one of my favorites, maybe because I ate so much of it. They even served it practically every week in the school cafeteria.

Ingredient:

3 pounds ground beef (85% lean) 1/2 large yellow onion (chopped)
1 bell pepper (seeded and chopped) 3 eggs
1 cup tomato juice
2 cups bread crumbs
1 small can stewed tomatoes 1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce 1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 can corn syrup
3/4 cups ketchup

Preparation:

1. Put the defrosted ground beef in a bowl. Spread it out a little to make it easier to mix ingredients.
2. Add the chopped onion, chopped peppers, Tabasco, and salt to the mixture. Sprinkle evenly across the mixture to make mixing easier. Mixed with your hands.
3. Crack the eggs in a small bowl and lightly beat them. Pour across the mixture.
4. Add the tomato juice to the mixture.
5. Cut the stewed tomatoes into small (crouton size) pieces and add to the mixture. Mix lightly.
6. Add the bread crumbs to the mixture and continue mixing to get everything evenly distributed throughout the mixture. You want the mixture to be slightly wetter than bread dough. Add more bread crumbs to the mixture if it's too wet.
7. Pour the mixture into a glass baking dish or into a large loaf pan.
8. Bake at 375 degrees for 1/2 hours. Since different ovens cook differently make sure it is done.
9. Glaze with syrup and ketchup mixture. Spread the mixture evenly across the top of the meatloaf and continue baking about 8 minutes.
Delicious served over mashed potatoes. Tastes great hot or cold. It can also be sliced and put on a sandwich.... a very versatile dish. Growing up, we used the cheapest ground beef because it WAS cheaper. Now I use leaner ground beef but the fat does at to the flavor so not too lean.
