My daughter made this a few nights ago, and it is the best meatloaf I ever had. But she doubled the recipe, cause it is great leftover. Yum.

That sounds great!

One trick I learned is to use a grater for the onion instead of trying to mince it up. Use a medium sized grate and it will come out like onion pulp and mix in with the meat really well. This works really great for burgers too.

That sounds like a great idea Dave, I will mention it to her. When she made it the other night she used plain sausage because the store didn't have the spiced one, which is sage flavored. Jimmy Dean makes it. It may come in other flavors also, I'm not sure.

If I don't use kosher salt, will God strike me dead?


What is kosher salt, anyway? Can I substitute a different salt?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosher_salt


From what I read between the lines in Wiki, Yes:

1) absolutely not

2) I didn't even know it called for kosher salt, but I will ask my daughter what she used. But my guess is she used the kosher.

Okay, I asked my daughter, and yes, she did use kosher salt. BTW I also asked her that since she doubled the recipe, did she increase the cooking time? She said she increased the cooking time to one and a half hours.

Rather than covering with tomato sauce, spread a liberal layer of Heinz Chili Sauce over it!

Using this product puts money into the pocket of John F***ing Heinz-Kerry.

Perhaps a bottle of Ketch-Hot instead!

It calls for tomato paste, not tomato sauce. The chili sauce might be too hot for Kevin and I. Can you tell me how hot this is on a scale from 1-10? If it's only a 1 or 2, I might be able to use it.

If ketchup is a 1, it is a 2. It is very mild, no hotness at all.

For the record, I have made meatloaf with Dave's Ketchot, and even thought I can't eat ketchot straight (Like, on fries or something like that), it's quite tasty in a meatloaf!

Do you have to cover it when you cook it?

No

No

Do I have to put on jeans that are too long and roll up the cuffs, and a checkered short-sleeved pinpoint oxford shirt to eat this stuff? Cause that's how I dressed when I ate it back then.

[DSMBaptist]

Okay, so why do they call this "50's style meatloaf, anyway?

"Lucy, if we call it 50's meatloaf, do you think DSM will ask why we call it that?"
"I don't know, but I'll ask Ricky since he's such an expert on being a ham!"

Geez, Beav!

To answer your question Owen, Yes. You do have to wear the clothes you mentioned. You also have to take a pic of yourself wearing those clothes and eating that meatloaf.

[LandLover]

I'm going to try this.

Where's the pic??!!!

[tattulip]

I may actually have to break down and cook something!

[DSMBaptist]

But seriously, does anyone know why it's called "1950's Style Meatloaf"? Not that it really matters, but the name implies that back in the 1950's, meatloaf somehow was made way differently that it is today.

Wow, the world is coming to an end.!

I haven't made it yet, but when I do I am going to try the Heinz Chili sauce instead of the tomato paste.

For Heavens sake Owen, do you honestly think if a few people stopped buying Heinz that JFK would go broke?

[Charybdis]

I too would be interested in trying this with Dave's Ketchhot.

Are you still selling that stuff, Dave?

No. He'll just dump Theresa and find an even richer widow to sponge off of, oops, I mean marry.

BEST MEATLOAF EVER

2 lbs. Ground Beef
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup sweet red pepper
1/3 cup green pepper
3 TBS. fresh parsley
3 garlic cloves
1 1/4 tsp. chili powder
1 1/4 tsp. sage
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup worcestershire
2/3 cup bread crumbs

Sauce:
1 tsp. dried mustard
1/4 cup chopped, canned tomatoes
1/4 c ketchup
2 TBS. brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper


Mix all the ingredients for the meatloaf together, cover with sauce, and put in a 350 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours.

This meatloaf is always a big hit, though I've never actually used the sauce part of this recipe because
the thought of putting ketchup in anything makes me gag,
so I just use my favorite bbq sauce, instead.

Next time I make it, I'm gonna try adding ground sausage and will put the bacon strips on the top. All in all, this recipe is not
too dissimilar to the 50's style one.

Hey! I made this tonight - sort of. Well, I added a few of my own favorite spices. But, it turned out great! I used 1 lb. of beef and 1 lb. of hot Italian sausage patties. The kitchen smelled wonderful. I grated the onion and peppers and they blended into the meats nicely.

D@mn...you people are making me hungry!

[Pixie]

I love meatloaf and this is an excellent recipe!

IALU & Dave, I like the additions both of you made to the recipe!

[streetsoldier]

I LOVE MeatLoaf!

[falvegas]

I like this recipe, and I love meatloaf. I especially like the 'Sauce'...sounds excellent.

I've tried to copy my Grandmothers Meatloaf, but it's never the same. No one recorded her recipes before she died. Lookingup's is very similar, maybe modified a bit as follows.

I know she used about 50% Beef, and 25% each Pork and Veal, I use to grind it for her.

I don't remember her using Milk, she did use a lot of chopped Parsley and Chives. And she would dust the meats with Paprika.

She would Lay some Bacon on top, but the Sauce was typical Russian. A Mushroom sauce.
