I thought I'd share my meat loaf recipe. I love meat loaf, but this is the best one I've ever had and I keep making it again and again.

It started out as a basic meat loaf recipe from a magazine and I've doctored it up and changed it over time and this is the final one.

1 onion, minced
6 slices of raw smoked bacon, diced small
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 pounds of lean ground beef
2 large eggs
4 TBSP white horseradish (bottled)
1/2 cup uncooked rolled oats
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp celery seed
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp dill seed
1/3 cup ketchup
2 TBSP packed brown sugar

Combine all ingredients (even the brown sugar and ketchup) and mix well. Pack it into a 2 Litre rectangular loaf pan (I use a glass one). Bake at 350 degrees for 90 minutes. Drain off fat and let stand for 30 minutes before cutting.

Makes 8 servings.

Great cold and in sandwiches too.

Oh, that sounds pretty yummy....I'm going to have to try that some time!

I keep most of those ingredients handy except the horseradish...how essential do you think that is for the recipe? I never use the stuff, so I hate to go out and buy it just for this...

It's essential
It adds to the taste of the meatloaf. Besides, I suspect you will be making this meat loaf more than once, so the horseradish will get used up

I just finished making one of these! Has anyone tried it yet?

I forgot to add that when you cook it to put the loaf dish on a cookie tray because it makes a large meat loaf and sometimes the juices over flow.

Ooh this is my favourite meatloaf recipe:


1 1/2 lbs mince (we used buffalo last time and it was fantastic)
1 onion
4 egg whites
1 cup salsa
3/4 cup oats
1 pkg Vegetable soup mix
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup ketchup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Mix all ingredients together except for ketchup and push into greased meatloaf pan
Add ketchup on top (I don't measure the ketchup, I just squeeze it into pretty patterns on the top)

Bake for 1 hour and enjoy!

My mother always made the meatloaf with Quaker oats. I was in my teens before I realized it was made other ways
This recipe has me craving meatloaf!
