Yummy Meatloaf and Saturday Night Tricks

In my never ending search for a good meatloaf recipe that will work for my fowl palette, I finally came upon a recipe on AllRecipes.com that I LOVE! Now you may wonder...what's up with the meatloaf infatuation. Meatloaf is just great. It reminds me of home, it's complete comfort food, it's hearty, it pairs well with almost anything. It's yummy meat pie.

I had a previous meatloaf recipe posted...please scrap that one if you're using it. The following recipe from the Rempel Family in British Columbia is really yummy. It even satisfied the large, carnivorous man in my life. I substituted 85/15 ground turkey for the beef. Here's the link: Rempel Family Meatloaf.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef 1/2 cup crushed buttery round crackers 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix

2 eggs, beaten 1/4 cup ketchup 2 tablespoons steak sauce

Directions:

1.	Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2.	Stir the ground beef, crushed crackers, Cheddar cheese, and onion soup mix in a large bowl until well combined. Whisk the eggs, ketchup, and steak sauce in a separate bowl until smooth. Mix the eggs into the meat until evenly combined, if the mixture seems too dry, add a little water. Press into a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
3.	Bake in preheated oven until the meatloaf reaches 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) and is no longer pink in the center, 45 to 60 minutes.

After a lovely meal....we need tricks!

Voila!!
