Meatloaf For Tomato Haters Recipes

MEATLOAF FOR MEATLOAF HATERS

Steps:

• Dice and saute onion, green onion (including most of the green parts)and celery.
• When your saute is transparent, add the garlic. (I usually slice mine with a cheese grater).
• Continue until onions are lightly browned. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Finely chop parsley.
• Breifly soak bread in water.
• Add bread, egg, and all other ingredients to the meat in a large bowl; knead together.
• Add small amounts of the V8 until it is gone or the consistency feels right to you. It should be well bound, but with a good amount of moisture to it.
• Mold the meat into buttered loaf pan.
• Turn the mold over onto a flat baking sheet, letting it fall down onto the pan to get the meat back out if necessary.
• Cook for 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Why sour cream? Its added moisture (fat not grease)you will lose from all of the nasty grease/fat you will see hanging off the sides of the loaf when it is done. Why bread? Still used as a binder, but without all of the moisture loss of breadcrumbs or cracker crumbs. Why V8? 8 wonderful veggies in a tomato liquid, I have found it is perfect for this meatloaf.
