Cin's

Turned out to be a very tasty meatloaf. My Hubby said,''wow, that was good...can I take a meatloaf sandwich in my lunch?'' The next day I used some of the leftovers to make a "Meatloaf Cheese Quesada". I made it by using some creamy spinach dip for the spread inside...yummmmmO!!! Photos By: CinStraw

Categories     Meatloafs

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb of each: lean ground beef and sausage
3 eggs
1/3 c sun dried tomato tapenade
1/3 c purple-onion chopped
1/3 c green bell pepper (chopped)
1/3 c celery (chopped, use leafy parts too)
1 Tbsp minced garlic chopped (spice world)
1 1/2 Tbsp ground ginger (spice world)
1 c bread crumbs (chopped real fine)
1/4 c crushed 'white cheddar' flavored crackers
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 can(s) (sm) hunts tomato paste (use 3/4 in meatloaf mixture, retain 1/4)

Steps:

  • 1. Grease loaf pans with extra-virgin olive oil. Preheat oven to 350 dF.
  • 2. Topping: Using the 1/4 can tomato paste you retained add 1/4 c ketchup and 1/8 c vidalia onion poppyseed dressing...mix together well, set aside.
  • 3. Grab yourself a large mixing bowl (big enough to get your hands in), to mix ingredients up. Add aLL ingredients together, (except topping mix), and combine well.
  • 4. Put into oiled loaf pans and spread your topping all over the top of each loaf. This mixture will make enough to fill 1-regular sized loaf pan plus 2-mini loaf pans (or 2-regular loaf pans).
  • 5. Bake for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours (or when the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160 dF)...I baked all 3 in oven at the same time together, so it took about 1-1/2 hours to bake it, When baked let it rest about 5 minutes or more, on cooling racks before removing from pan to platter, then it's ready to eat. Enjoy!!!!

This meatloaf is a great way to sneak some vegetables into your kids' diet. They'll never know they're eating zucchini and carrots.
