The All-American evening meal - Meat Loaf

One of my popular meals growing up was a hearty supper of meat loaf. Although this great American dish has kind of gone out of fashion, I think we should give meat loaf another chance.

The 1950's was the heyday of meat loaf, but I would like to give you three new and improved meat loaf recipes to add to your contemporary meals for your family:

Meat Loaf

·         Broccoli and Cheese Meat Loaf

·         7-Up Meat Loaf

·         Basic Turkey Meat Loaf

Broccoli and Cheese Meat Loaf Recipe

Broccoli and Cheese, it's a good as its sounds! You need all your quarterly ingredients for meat loaf: 2 eggs, pound and a half of ground beef, half a cup of bread crumbs (Italian style), and half a cut of ketchup. Also contain one cup of icy broccoli and size slices of American cheese to your ingredients list. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Take a mixing bowl and beat two eggs until smooth. Add the beef, bread crumbs, onion, and ketchup. This is the main dish. To add the great broccoli and cheese twist, make an indentation down the middle of the meat loaf, and place the broccoli inside, covered by three slices of cheese. Then cover this composition with the left over beef mixture. Bake for about one hour then cover the top with cheese, and serve!

7-Up Meat Loaf Recipe

To make this bright dish, the key is in your bread crumbs. Make your popular type, making sure to brush it with Worcestershire sauce. Before cooking, however, you need to soak your bread crumbs in 7-Up. This will give your dish a sweeter taste, but also have a little kick from the carbonation. You probably don't believe me, but this is a great recipe, and you can only know how it turns out if you try it yourself!

Basic Turkey Meat Loaf

If beef is a little too heavy for you, and you want to try the turkey dish, this is a great formula to start on. You need two pounds of turkey, an onion, garlic, an egg, ketchup, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and paprika.  What is great about this meal is that when it is cold, it is a great sandwich meat for a week afterward.
