COTTAGE CHEESE MEATLOAF FROM 1968



Cottage Cheese Meatloaf from 1968 image

The recipe comes from the Sunset Ground Beef Cookbook 1968 and has been one of our all-time favorite meatloaf recipes because of the taste as well as how quickly everything is put together and baked. To up the taste I have included 1 clove of garlic minced. It's a very light textured meatloaf in a shallow pan instead of the typical loaf pan style. I am mostly putting this recipe here for safekeeping since my book is getting more and more stained after 4 decades of use. I normally eat this meatloaf with a side of ketchup and I suppose I should come up with a topping that goes on before Parmesan cheese but haven't done that yet. There is already a very similar recipe posted on zaar that uses a microwave to cook the meat.
