what's your recepie to make a delicious & best meatloaf?
looking for no cans ;)recepie
 
Don't have a best because we like to make different style meatloafs. Tex-Mex, Italian, SW etc.;) They use the same meat mixture, just variations on the other ingredients, herbs and spices.

This is what I do ... Beat one egg, mix in a 1/4 cup of milk, a 1/4 cup of bread crumbs, a diced medium onion, salt, pepper, and oregano. I let that sit for about 10 minutes then mix in 1 lb of hamburger. I bake it for about 45 minutes in a loaf pan. DH is a fan and he's not really a meatloaf fan ... I think using the crumbs and milk rather than a piece of torn bread and water helps it stay moist.
 
Here's a meatloaf recipe with a Near Eastern flavor.

1 Lb Ground Beef
1 Lb Ground Lamb
1 Large Onion, minced
½ C Parsley, minced
¼ tsp Black Pepper
¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional)
2 tsp Salt
½ tsp Allspice
½ tsp Cumin
⅓ C Tomato Sauce
2 Ea Eggs
2/3 C Bread Crumbs

Mix all the ingredients by hand. Bake @ 350º F to an internal temperature of 150º F.
 
My mom's meatloaf is my favorite:

1 to 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (or ground buffalo--even better)
An egg
Small to medium onion, chopped
A couple big handfuls of uncooked oatmeal
Evaporated (or regular) milk--enough to moisten, but not enough to fall apart
Any spices you want to add. I usually add garlic.

Mix well, bake at 350 degrees F for 45 to 60 minutes (depending on how much ground beef).
 
Very tough question. I like playing with different flavors and meatloaf. I've made many excellent meatloaves...I think my favorite was a Beef Stroganoff Meatloaf I made.

LOL! Almost the same meatloaf my Mom taught me. There is something about the oatmeal and the evaporated milk that makes it so moist. Really, the only thing different is I add 2 eggs beaten and a couple of shakes of Worchestershire sauce -- Oh, and I am a big fan of celery leaves chopped into it too. Very basic and very good.
 

Basic meatloaf recipe, no extra flavors. Pat out flat into a rectangle and spread on the middle half, sauteed mushrooms, onions and garlic, spread out sour cream. Fold each end in and bake until done. Prepare a mushroom gravy for pouring on top to serve. It's dramatic on a platter that has cooked egg noodles, the meatloaf and gravy poured on and piped stars of sour cream.

Yours sounds good too. :) By the way, although she didn't generally use her middle name (just the middle initial in her signature), my mom's name was Linda Lou. :cool:

i have another question, i was reading that mixing milk and meat is tough on digestive system, is there a way to avoid adding milk into meat?

i never tried to add oatmeal to meatloaf (my family loves oatmeal)!!!

All ingredients are mixed in. Nothing on top. Not sure how long. An hour might be close. I go by internal temperature.
