Tonight I have another family recipe for you! My mom used to make this meatloaf all the time when I was growing up. I never ate it. BUT, it wasn’t because it wasn’t good. I was just picky and hated pretty much everything that wasn’t Cheerios \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

My sister loves this meatloaf. My parents love it. My husband loves it. I, in my wise older years, have come to like it. Trust me, it’s a good one! While we were visiting my parents for Christmas, my dad suggested that I put it on the blog so that all of you could enjoy it to!<\/p>\n

*If you’ve looked at my last few posts, you’ll notice I’ve started putting a printable recipe at the bottom. This was a reader request and I’m doing my best. As you know, I don’t usually measure things…so please understand that some of the recipes are not set in stone, I’m just giving you my best estimation on how much of each ingredient I used. Feel free to adjust as necessary. (Eventually I’ll hopefully add printable recipes to everything I’ve posted so far…but it might take a while).<\/p>\n

That being said, this is the only meatloaf that I make where I actually follow the recipe!<\/p>\n

So here we go!<\/p>\n

Dice your veggies and saute in butter. Add the spices, Tabasco and Worcestershire.

Next, add the ketchup and evaporated milk and cook for another two minutes:

Transfer the veggies to a bowl and let them cool. Once they’ve cooled, add the meat (I used 1 lb ground pork and 1 lb ground turkey), 2 eggs and breadcrumbs. You can either mix everything together right on the pan, or in a bowl. Then form the mixture into a loaf (or two).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until meat is cooked through.

This is one of those recipes that I can never make quite as well as my mom did, so my loaves were a little loose, but after I let them rest, they were sliceable!
