Honestly I think there should be a whole forum on meatloaf.
It was a standard on the table when I was growing up, a Plain Jane version my mom made that I loved. When I met my future wife meatloaf was one of the first things she made, quite a bit more involved than what I was used to at home. I learned to make it when my wife was off on her work.
Meat
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
Veggies
1/3 - 1/2 cup each, chopped:
mushrooms
green onions (use a lot of the green part as well as white)
celery
green bell pepper
white onion
Herbs
1 teaspoon each:
rosemary
marjoram
sage
also two garlic cloves minced
and 1/2 teaspoon spanish paprika
two eggs to hold it together
plus salt and pepper
Glaze or Topping
3/4 cup ketchup
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon dry english mustard
salt and pepper
Mix all the meatloaf stuff up in a bowl, put in a pan, cook for 40 min at 375.
Make the glaze in a bowl, put on meatloaf at the 40 min mark, cook for another 15-20 min or so.
With fried red potatoes and sour cream, what could be bettah!
