Meatloaf

Okay, I tried another one. I guess I think I'm going to eventually talk myself into liking meatloaf.

For this recipe, I used:

Ingredients:

 1 pound ground beef
 1 pound ground venison
 2 beaten eggs
 1/2 cup milk
 3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
 1/4 cup chopped onions
 1 medium chopped tomato
 1 chopped banana pepper (optional)
 1 teaspoon sea salt
 1/2 teaspoon allspice
 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
 2 tablespoon Valentina mexican hot sauce
 1/2 tablespoon ground sage
 a dash of liquid smoke

Sauce

 1/3 Cup Ketchup
 1 tablespoon liquid aminos or soy sauce
 2 tablespoons brown sugar
 1 teaspoon dry mustard
 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions:

In a large bowl, mix together all incredients. Place in crock pot and mash down mixture to mould to the crockery so that it comes out in a loaf. Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours. If you're in a hurry, you can cook it on high for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

Mix sauce ingredients together and pour over meat in the last 15 minutes, changing the heat setting to high.

My family likes meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans or green peas OR with corn and fried okra.

As you know from my previous posts, I, personally, am not a meatloaf person. But this time, I can finally say, "I really like this meatloaf".

If you have one of those families that likes meatloaf and like to eat sandwiches from the leftovers, you might want to double the recipe. I've never been a fan of that either but I think I might try that too this time. I'm obviously very pleased with this recipe.

*Taking it out of the Crock Pot is a little tricky. You could use a crock pot liner (which I only recently found out about myself). You can also use strips of foil to line the crockpot with and then lift it out by the strips. I choose not to use anything that might cause chemical reactions and get into the meat. I just slice in the crockpot and lift it out with a spatula.

Also: You might want to make double the sauce and use it to drizzle over the individual helpings after placing it on the plate. This meatloaf comes out to be fairly thick.
