Meatloaf

ninjawife — Sat, 02 Apr 2022 16:19:46 GMT

I am watching Ina Garten's new show on Food Network and Erin French is her guest. Erin is making meatloaf and she is putting shredded carrots in. Ina is so suprised she is adding carrots saying no one does that. I DO THAT ALL THE TIME.

What do you put in your meatloaf that makes it unusual or special?

It's not particularly special, but I add chopped green peppers.

I make it with ground venison and add a touch of ginger. Ms. French looks to be a marvelous cook, but I don't like the addition of 1/2" bread cubes. Guess I'm just used to my seasoned panko crumbs. My topping replaces the dijon mustard with Worcestershire sauce.

Someone I worked with added carrots, onion,celery, green peppers and zucchini. I never could understand how it held together with all those moist veggies in it.

I make a Mexican style meatloaf, with taco seasonings. Chili powder, cumin, onions, garlic, peppers, cilantro, etc. It's delish hot out of the oven nestled on a bed of rice, or pasta. Even atop a salad. Then it's great on tortillas the next day. It's my thing.

@ninjawife I used to put shredded carrots in my meatloaves to add veggies. My son at that time wouldn't eat any at all, but he liked my meatloaf. I told him years later he got his veggies but didn't know it at the time!

@ninjawife I make my meatloaf the same way as I make meatballs. Ground meat, Italian breadcrumbs, eggs, chopped garlic, salt & pepper, dried parsley & basil and grated cheese -- either parm or Romano. Top it with ketchup.

@ninjawife I make meatloaf the same way my mother did.

Ground beef, finely chopped onion, breadcrumbs, egg, milk

and Bell's seasoning. Before baking, I pour an 8 oz. can of Hunt's

tomato sauce on top.

DH isn't a fan of green pepper so I keep my meatloaf pretty basic. He eats it plain too, but I use some keto friendly SF ketchup with it.

Sometimes I add chopped (already cooked bacon) in with chopped onions, bellpeppers, breadcrumbs, worcestershire sauce, Jalapeno ketchup, raw egg and mix thoroughly.
