When I was younger, my parents often had to work late, so my brother and I would take turns cooking for the family. One thing I memorized at an early age was meatloaf.
A lot of people turn their noses up at the thought of meatloaf. But every person I've met who claims to hate meatloaf changes their mind when they try the recipe I make. Everyone that is, except my boyfriend Jack. I’m not entirely convinced he’s actually tried my recipe, but I will let him claim he doesn't like it anyway
.
Last week, I came up with the brilliant idea of recreating my recipe to Jack’s liking so that I could fulfill my craving for meatloaf. “Recreating for Jack’s liking” really just means making it spicy, so I decided I could convince him to eat meatloaf if I made it spicy and bribed him with his favorite soda (Cherry Bawls).
Below is my mom’s original recipe for meatloaf followed by my new experimental Spicy Meatloaf Recipe. You’ll have to try both to truly understand what you like best!
Mom’s Meatloaf:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.- Add the following to a mixing bowl:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet of Lipton Onion Soup mix
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 egg
- 4 tbsp of milk
Put the mixture into a loaf pan. Top with sliced onions, cracked black pepper, and 1 can of tomato soup mix. Bake for 45 minutes or until cooked through.
