I had never tasted, seen or made a meatloaf before. I only knew of this all-American dish from the musician that bears its name. Last night, though, things changed. Last night, I saw, tasted and made a meatloaf for the very first time.
We followed a recipe called “Mom’s slightly more upscale Meatloaf” from the Kitchen Survival Guide. The result was wonderful, with Jeff confirming that the meat loaf we made indeed looked, smelled and tasted just as it should. I’m so pleased. This makes a wonderful addition to my humble list of “five-dishes-I-know-how-to-prepare.”
Now we have some leftovers, which I understand will make for a tasty "at work" sandwich. Well, this is definitely something to look forward to later today.
Okay. Here is the recipe we followed. We are still eating sandwiches out of
this stuff and it is “fantastic!” (a Hubby quote). See what you think
Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 190 Celsius with the rack in the center position. Spray a 6-cup loaf pan with nonstick vegetable cooking spray. Place all the ingredients except the tomato sauce in a large mixing blow and use your hands to mix until well combined. Place the mixture in the prepared loaf pan, patting it down while forming it higher in the center. Spread the tomato sauce on top.
Put the loaf pan in a foil-lined roasting pan (to catch overflow) and bake 1 hour. Drain any excess liquid before serving.
The husband told me that Mom T makes excellent Meatloaf 😉 Maybe I should steal the recipe some day;-)
Wow! That meat loaf sounds good. Congratulations on the accomplishment. Enjoy it in good health. love, Dad & Mom T
Thanks PM for the kind invitation;-) Can’t wait to have your mean meatloaf;-)
Girl —
I am from the South and I can make a M-E-E-E-A-N Meatloaf! As soon as we have a good winter weekend here in Doha, I will get you and Jeff over to the house to try it Southern style. Even beats Rick’s! 😀
Salaam,

What’s with Jordanians and meatloaf? Anyway, meatloaf is awesome but a lil fatty.
Sushi is my game…
Wow, Linda that’s a brave confession;-) So you were weaned on Mansaf.. nice;-)
Ok Linda, I will send you the recipe later today when I get back home. It is really easy.
Okay Natasha, here is a confession. I was born and raised in the U.S. and I have always heard of meat loaf, but never have I seen it, and obviously tasted it. You have to send me the recipe, because as a fellow Jordanian, when it comes to food, I have to trust you.
