Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Let's discuss meatloaf.

My last batch disappointed me so much I have yet to desire more... I hope the verdict is good for you!

Lady Cobalt made a kick-ass meatloaf last week with mashed potatoes! It was so good that I've been walking around like Mike Tyson for two weeks!

Awww... what went wrong, LASH?

This one turned out great, BTW. Actually there was so much that we ended up with a loaf-and-a-half at the end. Plenty left over for sandwiches galore later in the week! w00t!

2lb ground turkey (or 97% fat free beef)
1/2lb hot italian sausage
2 med eggs
1 med yellow onion, diced
1 med green pepper finely diced
2 cups italian bread crumbs
1 sm can tomato paste
salt, black pepper, cayanne pepper, garlic, to taste.
1 sm can tomato sauce

Combine all ingredients, except for the tomato sauce in a bowl.

form the loaf in a large baking dish (or two meatloaf pans)

Cover the top with the tomato sauce.

bake at 375 degrees until the internal temp reaches 160 degrees.

Enjoy.

Hot italian sausage? GOT to try that!

Made that recepe last night, turkey version. Delicious!

But next time I'm adding Jalapeno's.

Abin, do you cut up the sausage into circlets or what?

Lardy, maybe Abin has a grinder, or maybe he just buys already-ground sausage at the store.

Yeah, I've heard he likes ta grind his sausage...

Ever heard of Sausage Patties?

Who hasn't? :rolleyes:

Weren't they seldom-seen twins in the Peanuts neighborhood?

LT, that would be 3 & 4. They also had a brother named 5.

The meatloaf discussion never ends.

I should note that last week, I made my 3rd attempt at meatloaf, at my Grandmother's request.

It was not as good as the first attempt but nowhere near the colossal failure of the 2nd attempt.

I had to use her products, which consisted of 1 lb ground sirloin, 2 eggs, meatloaf mix, onions, bell peppers and perhaps a tad too much tomato sauce.

One of these days, I will make a 4th attempt, and I predict it will be perfect.

There's more chili-cran in my near future, let me tell you what.

Love meatloaf with mustard and ketchup. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I like to make my meatloaf with stovetop stuffing mix in it. Despite what you might be thinking, it's DELICIOUS. Makes it moist and is SUPER EASY.

I had a store bought meatloaf a few days ago.
Better than I'd make, but no way close to as good as Desdemonia's

I never did share that awesome turkey meatloaf recipe that I found. So here it is:

(link)

I did some minor modifications. I cut the amount of salt and Worcestershire sauce in half. (I usually dial salt way back in most recipes.) I added about four drops of Angostura bitters to the meat mixture, too. (Almost any dish with tomato is better with that addition.) Instead of going with ketchup for the tomato topping-mix, I used a little dry vermouth.

Fabulous! (A moist, rather than crispy loaf. You can spoon the pan juices over your side dish. We had white rice.) Plenty for tomorrow's sandwiches, too.

[burp!] Takes some elbow grease to get it all chopped and mixed, but well worth it! [burp!]

^ OOhhh, I wish I'd seen that earlier! Would have loved to have tried that for dinner!

Try it, IB! You won't be sorry.

Earlier this week, I did make the classic beef-pork combo, molded free-form into an oval rather than packed into a loaf pan. It had strips of bacon over the top, and the very last of this summer's fresh herbs in it.

I'm pretty sure it should be illegal to eat this kind of food more than once every other month.

Heck, eat it every day! It's a good protein source

Maybe I'll adapat to add some boiled eggs. We have a lot of local meat rolls that include those, as well as raisin bits and cheese.

You took the words right out of my mouth
