MEATLOAF RECIPE USING CRACKERS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add ground beef to a large bowl and using a spoon start breaking it into large crumbs.
• Add the rest of the ingredients from the “Meatloaf” list to the ground beef and mix well to fully combine. You can use your hands to combine everything.
• Cover a baking dish with aluminum foil and grease with cooking spray. Transfer the beef mixture into the center of the baking dish, and shape in into a loaf. Also, the beef mixture can be added to a 9x5 inches meatloaf pan.
• Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
• In the meantime, add all the “ Topping” ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine.
• Spread the topping onto the meatloaf and continue to bake for another 20-30 minutes. Until the top is golden brown and or until meatloaf is cooked through with an internal temperature at the center of 160 degrees F.
• Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• The best meatloaf recipes contain lots of moisture from using the best ratio of meat to fat. 80/20 is the best choice. Anything leaner and your meatloaf will be dry.
• Use fresh shredded cheese. The anti-caking ingredients in preshredded cheese will absorb the moisture in the meatloaf.
• I used green bell pepper in this recipe, however if you are not a fan of it, you can use red or skip it.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan.
• Combine milk and soft bread crumbs in a small bowl and allow to soften, about 5 minutes.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, egg, 3 tablespoons steak sauce, chopped onion, and green bell pepper. Add bread crumb mixture, and mix with your hands until all ingredients are combined.
• Pat the the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Brush the top with additional steak sauce.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until done. Allow to stand 5 minutes before slicing.
