How do you make your meatloaf?

adamwife

I haven't made a meatloaf since DS was diagnosed with a tomato allergy.  I used to add some salsa, but can't now.

I'd like to hear some different methods for making it.  Anyone use rice?  Do you put the rice in the meatloaf cooked or not?

I use french onion soup mix and it's heavenly. I don't know how that works with food allergies, though. I've never heard of a rice recipe - that sounds interesting.

i use brown sugar and ketchup (which wouldn't work for you) and italian bread crumbs. yummy

I put any veggies I have (carrots, celery, onion, squash), 1 egg, a heaping handful of oatmeal, salt, pepper, worcestershire, kitchen bouquet.  I top with tomato sauce, but you could do nothing or make a brown gravy.

My easy peasy and delicious meatloaf recipe -- freezes great.

2lb ground meat (I like to use 50/50 beef/turkey)

1 package (6oz) stuffing mix

1 cup water

2 beaten eggs

1/4 - 1/3 cup GOOD BBQ sauce (good sauce makes the difference, we have BBQ sauce shipped from Dinosaur BBQ but at the local story Wiliamson Bros is good) -- but if no tomato, my guess is any other similar consistency sauce woudl work. Perhaps you could use A1?

Mix all together.  Make into 2 loaves in meatloaf pans.  (I use aluminum so I can freeze one)  Top with another 1/4 cup or more BBQ sauce.  Bake 375 for 40 minutes.  I serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.  To freeze, cool, wrap in foil and put in a freezer bag.

This makes me hungry for meatloaf. Or for anything.

My mom makes meatballs with rice (similar to meatloaf I guess). Basically you use 1 lb. hamburger and minute rice, salt, pepper, onion, mix together and make into meatballs. Then a can of mushroom soup and can of water (we always add more rice in the pan). Sorry I don't have the exact recipe with me but it is very easy to wing! Can your son eat cream of mushroom??

Good ideas ladies.  With so many alleriges, I'm going to have to adapt some of these.  I think I'll pick and choose from a few of them.

Thanks!

I've only made it with pasta sauce or gravy. I've also done the quick version with using a McCormick seasoning packet and either use pasta sauce or canned (or another McCormick packet) gravy to replace the ketchup. I guess you could use BBQ sauce - but I'm not a BBQ fan so I've never tried it.

Nope - no milk, soy, eggs, peanuts, tomato or pineapple.  Ugh.

I've attempted my own cream of mushroom saice before.  I could try it with that!  Thanks!

East West Meatloaf
1 lb ground beef
1/2 c bread crumbs
1/2 c diced onions
1 egg
1 can of celery soup
3 tbs soy sauce
3 tbs ketchup
salt & pepper to taste

Mix beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, salt & pepper, 1/3 can of cream of celery soup. Shape into loaf pan. Combine rest of soup, soy sauce, ketchup. Top beef mixture with soup mixture. Bake at 350 for 45 min.

You'd have to sub out the ketchup with something else, but my husband loves this recipe
