Dinner Aug 15, 2023
Note: This is Luke's family's recipe, and it just so happens to be very similar to my family's.
Ingredients:
1lb Ground Beef (85/15 or 80/20)
1 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons dried Onion Flakes
1 Egg
1 slice of Bread
Milk
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
½ cup Ketchup
1 cup Rolled Oats
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C)
In a small bowl, tear up the slice of bread into rough cubes
Add enough milk to saturate the bread
Add all remaining ingredients to a large mixing bowl
Add soaked bread to the mixing bowl, but discard any excess milk
[this recipe already has had excess liquid when fully cooked, it shouldn't need the extra milk]
Mix until everything is thoroughly mixed together
Add mixture to a loaf pan and shape into a loaf
Bake for about an hour
After removing from oven, rest for 15 minutes to help prevent falling apart when serving
Final Notes:
This recipe has been so liquidy, it might not need the bread to be soaked in milk at all.
We added roasted Sandia peppers to the mixture this time, which added a nice warming sensation without the burning. In the past, we have add mustard to the mixture because that's what my family did growing up.
It'd be fun to try adding different things to make different flavors of meatloaf. Like swapping some of the ground beef with Italian sausage and pureed roasted bell peppers for the ketchup.
