What can I say? I make an incredible meatloaf!
Ummm, nothing makes me happier than a good meatloaf for the perfect comfort food! Half ground beef, half ground pork, chopped fresh green pepper, Vidalia onion, cracker crumbs and seasonings bakes into the perfect entrée for a cold, snowy winter night here in the Midwest.
The pork is a must, that’s what gives it its distinct savory flavor. It works best with a few cracker crumbs, no bread crumbs, no oatmeal, and no cornflakes to make it mushy or grainy. Bill is not a green pepper fan, but he says it is a must for meatloaf as it complements the meat and I wholeheartedly agree. I’ve tried many toppings for my meatloaf and always end up just slathering ketchup over it, no fancy sauces. And it does not make it sweet.
I have been making it this way for many years and am always told I make a great meat loaf. Be sure to make plenty in order to have leftovers for meatloaf sandwiches on good crusty bread, spread with a little mayonnaise!
Meatloaf is so tasty served with a crispy skinned baked potato and cole slaw; it makes me “darn near euphoric” just thinking about it! Give my recipe a try and let me know how much you like it!
