Meatloaf

All right, Cheech, let's get to work

We need that onion chop, we need the celery chop, and we need the parsley chop

All right, now I'm going to start, Cheech, by getting us up probably about three quarters of the sleeve of these salting crackers

Okay. And we need about a cup. And these are so good in a meatloaf

All right, now I'm going to squirt about two tablespoons of Dijon mustard. Okay

Oh, that looks good. In here, Cheech, and I'm going to put about three tablespoons of Worcestershire

All right, now I'm going to add salt and pepper. And I've got some tomato paste here

I'm going to add about half this can. All right. And then I'm going to beat up a couple of eggs

Perfect, perfect. You can just throw that right in there, baby. So you brought your wife to Savannah with you

I did. She's getting ready to find a piano to practice. Concert pianists, I mean that's her job

So like eight hours, six hours, five hours a day. You're kidding me. You would think after she knows it

No they have to practice everything because it so precise So I going to beat two eggs add them to our bowl and give it a stir And now how long have y been married

Three years. Three years. I'll find out and tell you. We've been married three years

So y'all don't have any children together? Not together, no. She has a child and I have children

You try to get them out of the house, you know. Hey, fly little birds, fly. You know

Yes. You know your grandchildren. I got three grandchildren now. Look, let me show you

This is all of my grandchildren's initials. Oh, isn't that sweet? They're all boys

What are yours? Two girls and a boy right now. Oh, my gosh. If we ever have a girl cheat

Yeah. They're the best. It's the best, isn't it? They like, you know

Two pounds of ground chuck. You'll be talking to them and they'll kiss your hand out of nowhere

And look at them. What do you want? Here it is. What can I go buy you

Oh, God. Precious angel baby. That is my job to call my grandchildren

and let them know how much they're loved. What's your favorite thing to cook, Cheech

The Mexican food is good. I'm thinking of starting a restaurant. And where do you think about doing this

In LA. That gonna be called Cheech at the Beach Cheech at the Beach Cheech at the Beach I love that Does your wife cook She threatens to cook every once in a while You know like things explode in our kitchen

Throw that parsley right in there, baby. All right, what I want you to do is line that with foil

right there. All right. And I'll tell you a little trick that I do with my meatloaf

That's fine. Just like that. You know how greasy ground beef can be

Oh, I do. I like to lay bread down, y'all. Oh, hey

And that soaks up the grease, you know, and it's not quite so greasy

All right, so if you would form this in a loaf for me

In a loaf? Uh-huh, right in here. How to make your meatloaf

Yes. At my age, it's not hard. I'm going to make a topping for us, but you know what

I've got to wash my hands. There you go. All right, now I'm going to take the rest of our tomato paste, and I'm going to make us a topping

So we need a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar two tablespoons of Dijon two tablespoons of lemon juice and a little salt and pepper And we just going to frost it with this

So 350 y'all for about 50 minutes. Let's see about the meatloaf

Okay. Watch this. You want me to take it out or just open it up? No, honey

Take it out. Put it right here. Ooh, these potatoes look good. Ooh

Look at that Ooh Just sit it right there Ooh, listen to it bubbling

And see what our bread has done, Cheech That is brilliant It's soaked up that grease

So we won't eat a lot of grease Ooh, that meatloaf looks mighty fine

Wasn't it good? Oh man, that looks edible And don't you love that trick with the bread

That is amazing Yes You know what's even more amazing? Yeah, I was going to wait until your back was turned, but..

How good is that? Kind of defeats the purpose, so does it? Okay

The meatloaf is yummy, isn't it? Uh-huh. It's not dry. It's nice and moist

Yes. And we actually used a really lean ground beef. It was very good

Mmm
