Meatloaf

[Baja Margie]

Well, I was out of ideas so I made meatloaf tonight, but the easy way. I used the Lawry's meatloaf mix, actually 2 because I used 4# of ground round, added 2 cups of milk and a finely chopped onion. Popped it in the oven with the bakers, nuked some broccoli, opened up some applesauce and voila, the all-American dinner !!


I really like leftover meatloaf in sandwhiches.

1. Try this little trick ......

Add some crushed ice to your meatloaf mix ..... maybe a 1/4 cup or so to a pound of meat. Then prepare it however you normally would. Obviously the ice will simply melt away as you cook, but you'll be amazed at the moist, juicy meatloaf you get. The ice, as it melts, steams the meat from the inside and helps to make up for the lost moisture due to cooking. This is also a good way to retain more moisture and flavor if you're into lower fat ground beef. Classically, meatloaf should be made with 25% to 30% fat. Adding water can allow this to go down to 10% or 15%.
