One of the bane's of my existence is "meatloaf". Every time I see it I am both revolted and driven hungry simultaneously. What's more is that my mother's meatloaf is, in a word, bland. On rare occasion has she ever altered her recipe, successfully mind, but she has never stuck with it.Jody sent me this recipe for meat loaf that she got from a friend who saw Vicki Lawrence live recently. The program for the show contained four recipe from Vicki herself. Jody is passing them on to me. Unfortunately, I got it too late as mother made meatloaf before I got the recipe. Oh well, maybe next time.
The Loaf
Mix together with your hands:
- 2 ½ lb lean ground beef
- 1 Log Jimmy Dean Sausage (I prefer sage)
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 cup crushed saltines
- 4 beaten eggs
- 1 16oz can tomato sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A liberal sprinkle of Italian seasoning (I probably use 2 tbsp)
The Directions
Shape Mixture into 2 loaves.
Use 5x9 inch baking pans.
Bake at 350° for 1 to 1 ¼ hours.
