One of my favorite series of books is "The Cat Who..." series by Lilian Jackson Braun. Food is mentioned frequently in the stories so the author published a cookbook of all the food items mentioned in the books. My favorite recipe from that book is "Mrs. Cobb's Meat Loaf". I've never been a meatloaf fan, but the cranberry sauce adds a bit of sweetness that is unique, and I love this version. I'm not sure this actually follows the rules of Caro's challenge, since I didn't create the recipe myself, but it tastes better than anything I could invent on my own!Mrs. Cobb's Meat Loaf
1 1/2 T. brown sugar
1/2 c. cranberry sauce
2 eggs
3 T. onion
1/2 c. milk
1/4 t. thyme
1/8 t. sage
dash nutmeg
1 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
2/3 c. bread crumbs
1 1/2 lb. ground beef
Combine all ingredients thoroughly, form into loaf and bake at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour - depending on how thick your make the loaf. I serve it with my grandma's sweet chili sauce that I can each summer (you can find that recipe here), but it's also good with BBQ sauce or just plain.
Yumo! I will try this!
ReplyDeleteThat does sound yummy! I never make meatloaf the way my mom made it. I never liked it then. But I've found, over the years, that you can do a lot of different things with meatloaf and make it delicious!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting meatloaf recipe! I hope you are enjoying read-a-thon so far! Gooooo #TeamWordsworth!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've never made a meatloaf in my life, maybe it's time to start with this recipe. Thanks for participating.
