Monday Meatloaf

So, on Saturday I gave you a simple baked potato recipe that goes great with a lot of dishes. One recipe that we tried it with was Alton's meatloaf recipe.

There are so many types of meatloaf recipes out there, handed down from generations, that there is no "right way" to make a meatloaf. This is the recipe Alton Brown gave in his cooking guide in the roasting section. Here are the ingredients you will need:

• 2 large eggs
• 2 pounds ground meat
• 1 1/2 diced onion
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 slices sandwich bread, diced
• 3 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoon salt

Not all the ingredients, but most of them.

     Once the meatloaf is done cooking, let it rest on a cooling rack for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the meatloaf from the pan, and discard the extra fat.
     This meatloaf has a lot of flavor, and, maybe it was just the meat we chose, but there was a lot of fat on the top of the meatloaf after it was done baking. I hope you try this recipe and enjoy it. If you have a recipe or comment you want to share, feel free to comment in the comment section below or on Facebook.
