My one recipe calls for shredded carrots,onions,ketchup,fine bread crumbs,along with the lean ground beef,. I lost my recipe that had mashed potatoes in the meat loaf.

How do you make yours?

 

I use crushed crackers 1 egg onion. Then when almost cooked I top it with a can of Mushroom soup with milk makes a yummy gravy and have it with mashed potatoes and a veggie a great winter supper.
I have also added for a topping mixing maple syrup and ketchup together this is also a yummy topping the maple syrup gives it a good kick. So enjoy

I add onion soup mix to mine, along with some ketchup, some spices.
Fluffy, you can go to a "recipe" website for lots of ideas.

bassett- that maple syrup topping sounds good. We always have the "real" maple syrup on hand too. What are the amounts.

I used chopped onion, minced garlic or garlic powder, fine bread crumbs, and cracked black pepper. I then add tomato sauce on top, mixed with oregano/thyme mix.

saw a recipe that uses crushed shredded wheat instead of bread crumbs - have not tried yet

My folk, yum!

honestly, I follow the recipe on the Lipton Onion Soup mix, that's the version that my kids and hub like the best.

Fluffy I dont measure at all I just guess a mat lol. It is better to taste if before putting it on to see if you like it rich and runny.

I made meatloaf tonight.
I checked online for the mashed potatoe recipe in meatloaf but could not find the one I wanted. I am sorry I threw it out many years ago. Now I want it back

I use a recipe in an Anne Lindsay cookbook called Old Fashioned Meatloaf. It is lower in fat. It calls for herbs, crumbled whole grain bread and tomato paste.

Yes I should try anne Lindsay. Thanks claesa.

I don't measure things, & it changes from time to time just for something different. For the most part, I add 1 egg, italian bread crumb, raw chopped onion, green pepper, sprinkle some italain seasonings, a dash od Heinz 57 sauce & put a can of tomato soup on top.
Other way is... 1 pack of onion soup mix, 1 egg, italian bread crumbs. No soup on top, but always with a good gravy.

cpotts- yes when you have made a recipe so many times you know it by heart

My wife always adds a small, well drained can of mixed veggies to the mneatloaf, and it tastes great.

51Rocker - nice idea. Thanks

My hubby hates meatloaf so I never get to make it. I order it in restaurants when I can.

I haven't made meatloaf in a long time, thanks for the reminder, yum
