SLAP YO MAMA MEAT LOAF
This meat loaf is so good it will make you want to slap yo mama for not making this for you. I love cooking with ground turkey but it doesn't hold together as well as ground chuck so I decided to mix the two meats. The mixture makes it taste great. The A-1 mixed with the ketchup is also a great balance. You will love the smell...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Saute the Onions and green peppers in oil in a pan. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl by hand. Divide the sauce at the bottom of the recipe and mix half of it in the loaf and save the other half for the top at the end. Press into loaf pan. Or if you like a crunchier texture you can shape the loaf on a cookie sheet.
- 2. Cook for 50 minutes. Pour off excess fat and top with other half of the a-1 and ketchup mixture. Bake for an additional 10 minutes more.
- 3. *This is also great topped with French's fried onions sprinkled on top at the end when you cook the a-1 and ketchup mixture. Gives it a nice crunch!
- 4. * I also like to make mini loaves with them in muffin cups. Just spray the cups with cooking spray. You use the same temp but cook the loaves for 25 minutes then add the extra sauce on top, then cook for an additional 7 minutes. A lot quicker this way and a lot easier to serve.

I made this last night and cooked it in the crock pot. Not how I normally make meatloaf... Everyone said it is the best I've ever made.

Steps:
- 1. Mix all the meat, sauces, spices together in a large bowl. Soak the bread and crumbs in the milk before adding to meat. Mix in eggs. I always use latex gloves and just use my hands. The mixture will be somewhat loose.
- 2. I place the rack in the crock pot then insert a slo roasting bag. I lightly..to..hard packed in the meatloaf. Now if you have a large crock pot, it might hold it all. If not I filled up the crock pot, folded in the bag and put the lid on. Then I put the left over meat loaf in sprayed muffin cups and put that in the freezer for another time.
- 3. I cooked it on low for 7 hours then took it out of the crock pot onto an oven proof dish. Mix up the "frosting" and completely frost the meat loaf. I then put the meatloaf lightly foil covered, into a 350 degree oven until the meatloaf browned nicely. At least 45 min. I actually cooked mine all night and let it cool, put it in the fridge for the day until about an hour before I got ready to put it in the oven. while I cooked the potatoes and cabbage that I served along side the meatloaf. Really good Of course you could add the tomato paste to the meatloaf in the crock pot that you don't have to do anything else when you get home from work. Just serve it up.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ground beef. An 80/20 blend of chuck and sirloin works well.
- Season the meatloaf generously. A flavorful blend of spices, herbs, and Worcestershire sauce is essential.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
- Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape and place it in a baking pan. Use your hands to gently shape the mixture, being careful not to overwork it.
- Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature for an initial 15-20 minutes, then reduce the heat and continue baking until the meatloaf is cooked through.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes the meatloaf easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Slap Ya Mamma Meatloaf is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its flavorful blend of spices, herbs, and Worcestershire sauce, this meatloaf is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad, for a complete meal.
