MY SPECIAL MEATLOAF RECIPE

Steps:

• Meatloaf: Combine meat loaf ingredients and place into meatloaf pan or regular loaf pan. I usually have a little left over because the pan I use is a small one. The excess I freeze for future use as stuffed pepper filling (there's usually enough for 2 peppers).
• Smooth out top.
• Sauce: Combine sauce ingredients and pour on top and sides of meatloaf.
• Bake at 350°F about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until done.

PASSOVER SPECIAL MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray a 11 x 13 with cooking spray. I use a 11 x 9 pan.
• Combine all meat loaf ingredients and form into a rounded loaf shape in center of pan.
• Scatter the chopped onions and around the meatloaf and sprinkle the water on top of the onions.
• Bake for 1 hour.
• Combine the glaze ingredients, if using and brush over the meatloaf.
• Bake for 15 minutes.
• Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing.

MIMI'S MEATLOAF AND SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. First prepare sauce: In saucepan with butter saute vegetables until tender. Then add remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a boil until sugar is dissolved. Then lower heat and keep at a very low, slow simmer while preparing meatloaf, allowing sauce to thicken.
• 2. For meatloaf: I don't saute the vegetables for the meatloaf but you could do so if desired. Mix all ingredients for meatloaf until very well mixed. Spray a loaf pan and put meat mixture into 9 x 5 loaf pan, or you can form into a loaf and bake on a cookie sheet with sides on it. I have a pan that is a double meatloaf pan with the inserts that go in so you can take the meatloaf out of the pan easily. I just use one side and bake the meatloaf for 1 hour. Then, I use the second side for the remaining part of the cooking.
• 3. After 1 hour remove meatloaf from oven and drain any grease, if possible. Then cover the meatloaf with most of the remaining sauce, saving some to use at the table. Finish baking the meatloaf for another 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to sit for about 10 minutes. Then serve, using the remaining sauce on each slice if desired.

SPECIAL MEATLOAF WITH HEINZ 57 SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine ingredients thoroughly (reserving 3 tbsp Heinz 57 Sauce for the top), but use a light hand and don't over mix.
• Shape in a 8 X 4 X 1 1/2" loaf pan.
• If your ground beef is very lean, the pan should be greased first.
• Brush top with the reserved 3 tbsp Heinz 57 Sauce.
• Bake in 350 oven for 1 hour.
• Allow loaf to stand 5 minutes before slicing.

BERT'S SPECIAL MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients and form into a long loaf.
• Lay bacon over meatloaf and along the sides.
• Place into a 9x13 baking pan and bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours.
• I usually add nearly cooked potatoes for the last 20-25 minutes and sometimes I even make a gravy from the pan drippings.
• Remove from pan and cover with foil for 5 or 10 minutes to let the juices settle.
• Slice and serve.
