M..M..M..Meatloaf

I know. I know.

I know exactly how you feel. I have been there.
You hear that very word and your jaws start salivating as your stomach turns over. All those childhood memories start to resurface. There you are, sitting at the dinner table with this brick of meat staring back at you. All the while your father is glaring at you, just daring you to try to toss it to the dog. GULP!

No fear. This meatloaf is so not like that. It's moist and flavorful, smothered in tangy tomato sauce.
So take a deep breath, close your eyes and enjoy. It's time to face your fears.


M..M..M..Meatloaf
Serves: 4

Ingredients:
1 lb Lean Ground Beef
1/2 lb Ground Turkey
1/2 Green Bell Pepper, diced
1/2 Med Onion, diced
2 Cloves Garlic
1/3-1/2 c Breadcrumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
 Ketchup
 Heniz 57 Sauce

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Grease a meatloaf pan or bread loaf pan.
In a large bowl add the ground beef and turkey. Add the bell pepper,onion and garlic. DON"T MIX YET!
Add the egg and 1/3 cup of breadcrumbs, some ketchup and Heinz 57. Start to mix with hands. You do not want to over mix. If the meat is too soggy, add more breadcrumbs. You want it to come together, but still quite moist.
Add the meat to the loaf pan, shape into loaf. You will need to do some smoothing, leveling and packing here. Top with some more ketchup and Heinz 57, spreading sauce with back of spoon. Bake for 45 min to 1 hour.


TAKE THAT DAD!
