Once Upon a Tine

Headache X 3 days saved Mel from my fish dinner. I think he is seceretly happy. His alternative plan was to call me for my meatloaf recipe.

If you're looking for a good recipe for a flavorful, moist meat loaf, here ya go............

Meat Loaf:
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small bell pepper, finely chopped
1 large carrot, finely shredded
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup 2% milk
1 large egg
1/4 cup ketchup

Topping:
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Preheat oven to 350*F.
In large mixing bowl combine all the ingredients, except for topping, mixing thoroughly with your hands. (Just part of the meatloaf-experience!)

Crunch up a bunch of foil and fit it in the bottom of a loaf pan. Put your meatloaf on top of the foil. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven; drain excess grease. Spoon topping over meatloaf. Return to oven and bake an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to set for 10 minutes before slicing.

Don't forget to give some to your dog. They love this shit!
