Taking Meatloaf up a notch or two

Taking Meatloaf up a notch or two


No recipe here, just some ideas for taking meatloaf up a notch or two. Use your recipe and consider these changes or you want my meatloaf recipe, contact me and I’ll give you the date so you can scroll down to the correct blog post.

Many meatloafs use bread crumbs, of course you can make your own and consider buying some different type of breads, such as a 7 grain bread, toast it, and then put the toast in a food processor to make crumbs.

Consider putting in a variety of crumbled potato chips in the meat loaf such as BBQ.

Consider using Panko bread crumbs or 4C Chiptole Panko crumbs.

You may want to consider a little oj added to your meat loaf, I prefer lemon juice and lemon zest. I’m not fond of oj in foods.

Meatloaf is a great place to hide frozen mixed<b> vegetables.

</font></b>Think of adding worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, and/or curry as spices to your meatloaf, or smoked sweet paprika, maybe some mustard if your recipe doesn’t call for it.

Add some bbq sauce to your meatloaf in place of any ketchup you may use.

Cook up some ground pork with your ground turkey or ground beef to your meatloaf.

Thank you, R&F!
I just made meatloaf on Friday.
I used bread crumb this time because I already had them!
In it I added peppers, shredded carrot, mushrooms, bbq sauce, Worcestershire sauce, shredded cheese and poured a jar of Ragu spaghetti sauce over it to bake in the oven.

lok4fun500, You did everything I would have done, put everything in it you liked and all you wanted to put in. The BBQ sauce and Worcestershire really works well. I'm not too fond of peppers and seldom use them except for a few, stuffed peppers with a vegetarian theme, and even then I don't like them. Mushrooms I prefer to use in a mushroom barley soup or a tettrazini. I love most foods but not in all things. Always a personal choice. Thanks for reading my blog.
