I made a meatloaf the other day to die for!!! It was the best tasting, most delicious meatloaf ever made in the history of meat loafing (even if I do say so myself). It was so good I brought it into work for lunch along with the potatoes and carrots that i baked alongside. Even the guys at work made comments as they could smell the aroma wafting thru the office via the microwave.
The only problem here is, it came from one of those pre-made mixes with the plastic bag. You mix all together with an egg and some milk (and hamburger of course) and put into the disposable bag with your veggies. I did add some jalapeno bread that I crumbled (maybe that helped).
So what's the problem?
It feels too much like cheating. I want to make one from scratch that tastes just as delicious as the pseudo Betty Crocker can make using one of those built -in- a -bag mixes. But considering I've only made meatloaf as many times as I have fingers on one hand (if that) I need some help. Especially since those previous meatloafs were pretty bad. Nothing to write about. fer sure.
Does anyone have a special, mouth watering to die for meatloaf recipe that I can try? Or if not.....any help at all for the meat loaf challenged amongst you?
In the meantime.....to the cookbooks I go in search of the elusive meatloaf recipe. Who knows....maybe my next post will have a new recipe for us all to try.
