All the videos that I'm doing today, are request from y'all.
0:09
And, what did you tell me about the basic meatloaf recipe?
0:12
I got a bunch of meatloaf recipes y'all.
0:14
- [Woman] It's got five star ratings.
0:16
- It's got five star ratings.
0:18
- [Woman] It's like 200 and that's like a 250 ratings.
0:23
- [Woman] And it's one of your most searched recipes.
0:25
- One of my most searched recipes.
0:27
That's the one I'm gonna share with y'all on today's video
0:31
and I'm gonna just spray this pan lightly.
0:37
So did I tell y'all what I'm making?
0:40
Basic meatloaf, and I think I'm pretty sure
0:46
that this is aunt Peggy's recipe.
0:50
So, you see me putting down bread
0:54
and you probably thinking, Paula, have you lost your mind?
0:59
I'm putting the bread down so it can work
1:07
That bread is gonna soak up any fat from this ground beef
1:15
because I just don't want my meatloaf cooking
1:20
in a bunch of grease.
1:24
So that's a good trick to keep in mind.
1:28
Even if I'm doing it on a cookie sheet,
1:31
I'll just cover the cookie sheet with bread.
1:37
All right now let's see like I need a bowl.
1:43
I'll tell a meatloaf everybody seemed to love
1:47
at the Lady and Sons, and that was our cheesy meatloaf.
1:51
Oh, and it was so, so good.
1:55
And so if you wanna try something different,
2:00
how much meatloaf is this ground beef?
2:02
- [Woman] A pound. - Just a pound.
2:06
I'm gonna add a half a cup of just instant oatmeal.
2:10
You know the oatmeal that cooks in five minutes
2:13
like I use for my oatmeal cookies
2:18
and I'm gonna add my onion and my bell pepper.
2:28
And then I'm gonna add one egg.
2:39
So, I'm gonna be honest.
2:46
I don't normally use a recipe from our meatloaf
2:52
I never like my own meatloaf.
2:58
I think that when I make meatloaf from now on,
3:01
I just need to break down and follow a recipe.
3:04
And like I said I think this one is from my aunt Peggy,
3:09
and everybody seems to love it.
3:13
I'm gonna add my egg,
3:17
and I'm gonna add let's see
3:24
one and a fourth teaspoons of salt.
3:29
I'm gonna add up a little bit and that should be it
3:33
and a quarter of a teaspoon of black pepper.
3:45
So let me hear from y'all
3:47
I want to know what y'all doing it out there
3:55
'cause I don't get out much anymore.
3:59
(wooden spoon bumping)
4:03
I really do wanna hear from you.
4:06
We started years ago, when I say we,
4:10
I mean, my family started using oatmeal as a tightener
4:22
So to me this is the best way to just get in there
4:25
with your hands and get it all mixed up together.
4:31
And the cookbook I say a can,
4:37
eight ounce can of diced tomatoes.
4:39
And I don't even know if they make
4:41
an eight ounce can of diced tomatoes.
4:44
So, I'm just using tomato sauce
4:53
and then we're gonna cook it in this loaf pan.
5:00
Of course you know about the bread I told you about that.
5:05
I wanna hear from y'all,
5:08
I wanna know what y'all would do in that pan.
5:19
Come on Paula you can do it.
5:24
A pound of hamburger meat is hard to, hard to hold on to.
5:35
I wanna just make sure I get that bottom smooth
5:41
and kind of mold it together
5:46
and then I'm gonna put it in here on top of my bread
5:49
and then I'll be able to finish molding it.
6:06
Trying to get the air pockets out of it now.
6:16
A little bit of onion and bell pepper left.
6:23
So I'll just put that all in there.
6:31
And then I'm gonna come in with a knife and do this.
6:35
Make sure it's packed in down there.
6:41
And on top of that bread, perfectly well.
6:55
I left the water running, didn't I hate it?.
7:18
The topping that we use meatloaf is my favorite part y'all.
7:27
I'm gonna just mix together.
7:30
It's probably a half a cup of ketchup
7:36
and two tablespoons of brown sugar,
7:41
and a tablespoon of mustard.
7:46
So you got that, that sweet
7:50
almost like a caramelized topping on your meatloaf.
7:54
And one of my favorite sandwich
7:56
which is in the whole world y'all is a meatloaf sandwich.
8:02
I always try to make a little bit more meatloaf
8:05
than I know we're really gonna need,
8:08
so I can have my sandwich on white bread of mayonnaise.
8:26
I'm just gonna pour that on top
8:29
and we're gonna bake this for one hour at 350 degrees.
8:42
I'm gonna just spread it just a little bit using my fingers.
9:04
Every bit of the topping on there.
9:15
I don't wanna miss a drop of that.
9:17
All right, 350 degree y'all for one hour.
9:24
It's gonna be delicious with some cornbread.
9:31
All right, I'm gonna set a timer
9:35
'cause I sure don't want that to over cook.
9:43
Just that's simple y'all.
9:46
Okay friends, I want y'all to look at this meatloaf,
9:50
it looks so delicious.
9:54
I'm not gonna cut it though because this is supper
9:59
here at the Dang Groove House tonight.
10:03
But I can promise y'all it's very good.
10:07
So let me hear from you, I wanna hear what you do.
10:12
Help me out 'cause like I said,
10:14
when I just throw my meatloaves together,
10:16
I don't think they're all that great.
10:18
So, I wanna hear from you and I will try your recipe
10:24
and of course I will give you the kudos for it.
10:28
Loving best dishes y'all.
