My apologies for that.... but I couldn't come up with anything creative. ANYway.... since we spent the last couple of days pigging out on meat loaf, I thought I would share a tip with you that will keep your meat from loafing (no, not viagra).
As I stated previously, I don't care for a lot of tomato-y things. I especially don't care for meat loaf with all of that tomato gunk that so many people seem to put in or on their meat loaf. So, we've been experimenting with different ingredients, and came up with this one that I'm sure you'll all really enjoy! (who said that?)
Take yer favorite meat loaf recipe (sans tomato gunk), and add just a tablespoon or so of either apple jelly or apple sauce per pound of ground meat. You can use beef or pork (a combo usually tastes best), use oatmeal or bread crumbs (not fresh bread, and 7-grain bread gives a good flavor), leave out any eggs that the recipe calls for, add anything else you like (onions, green peppers, mushrooms, capers, etc.).... and just make up your own original creation. This household usually doesn't work with a recipe when it comes to meatloaf, but the apple jelly/sauce has worked well with every made-up recipe we've tried so far. You can also throw on some bacon on the top of the loaf, a few minutes or so before it's finished baking, and that adds a really great flavor as well.
Try it, you'll like it. And let me know if you did. Any other meat loaf suggestions?
