Meatloaf With A Little Zing Recipes

SECRET INGREDIENT MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the bread crumbs and the cup of bloody mary mix in a small bowl and mix well, set aside until the bread crumbs have absorbed the liquid (3 to 5 minutes).
• In a large bowl, combine the meat, moistened bread crumbs, egg, onion, bell pepper, garlic powder, pepper and salt. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated, being cautious not to over mix. Pour the mixture into the baking dish and form into a loaf in the center of the dish.
• In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and remaining 1 tablespoon of bloody mary mix and spread on top of the meatloaf. Bake uncovered for 50 to 60 minutes, or until cooked through. Allow to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

MOM'S SECRET INGREDIENT MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Mix ground chuck with breadcrumbs.
• (extra lean works well too).
• Add salt,pepper and egg.
• Mixing with you hands now, add the Heinz Chili Sauce and the milk.

• They will both fit comfortably in a 13" by 9" pan.
• Mix the topping together and spread on the top and the sides of the loaves.
• Cook at 375 for one hour or 400 for 45 minutes.
• Check for firmness.
• Let rest for ten minutes before cutting.
• Tips---------.
• If you have stale bread you can lay 2 slices under each loaf and it will soak up the grease so your meatloaf is a bit leaner upon serving.
• Also, you can use the Chili Sauce on top of the meatloaf instead of catsup.
• This makes it spicier but my mother never did this because it would have given away her"Secret Ingredient" -- and the kids probably will like it better with catsup on top.
• Enjoy!
