This recipe comes from the 1967 Better Homes and Gardens 'so good with FRUIT' cookbook. The small meat loaves make a great presentation when served! I prefer using brown rice in this recipe.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground meat: A combination of ground beef and pork is a classic choice for meatloaf, but you can also use ground turkey, lamb, or venison. If you're using a leaner meat, like turkey, you may want to add some extra fat, such as butter or olive oil, to keep the meatloaf moist.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your meatloaf will taste. Look for fresh, ripe cranberries, and use a flavorful breadcrumb mixture. You can also add other mix-ins, such as chopped vegetables, cheese, or nuts, to customize your meatloaf.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf can make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, then shape the meatloaf into a loaf and bake it.
  • Cook the meatloaf to the right temperature: The meatloaf is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the meatloaf before you remove it from the oven.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing it. This will help the meatloaf hold together and keep its shape.

Conclusion:

Cranberry meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a moist, flavorful meatloaf that your family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, try cranberry meatloaf. You won't be disappointed!
