Guess nobody is going to try to top that one. A little chili powder on it might be effective....in a different way.

It figures something I like is bad for me LOL. To bad it really does add zing to a meatloaf.
So maybe dehydrated onions, onion powder and wostershire sauce??
Any other guesses as too what is in that lipton package or a substitute??

Try something radical: fry up some real onions and toss 'em in. You don't want to know what's in those little packages. Sure, go for the Wooster sauce, especially good on burgers, too.

Re: Makin' Meatloaf
I have a special recipe that everyone seems to love. To get that extra "tang" I put a mixture of ketchup and brown sugar on top for 10-15 minutes before removing from the oven. Yum!

Add a can of tomaoes, cubed or ready mixed or crush them. Add parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. Add spices, especially fennel for the pork and parsley, salt and pepper. You will get just a little over a 1 lb meatloaf. Add bacon strips to top.
You can slice it and serve it with either a baked potato and veggies and Campbells Mushroom gravy or with Macaroni or Spaghetti with your favorite pasta sauce on both.
Trailer Park fantasies. Saturday night down in the RV Park in Quincy comparing unemployment checks and food stamp redemptions while seasoning "exotic food" with Kraft dried Parmesan flakes and Lowery´s Seasoned Salt with Heinz Ketchup. Part of Mit´s 75% hangers-on who got used to not working in the winter because they were snowbound.
Meatloaf with canned gravy, for god´s sake. Seeking the absolutely least common denominator. Tell me, cheesebutt John, do you think there will be any necessary social adjustment perod for you to fit in with Henry Fonda in the Grapes of Wrath or James Dean selling lettuce from the Salinas Valley in East if Eden?
Dawg, meatloaf is comfort food, along with mac and cheese, for which I have a fab. recipe. Let's not look down our noses at what most of us consider to be good eating no matter where they come from.

Anything minty also gives a little extra zing, just sayin'. Use your imagination which is obviously quite fertile.

It may not be known to you that Dennis Hopper, upon completing the script for Head, and having partaken in some relaxation therapy that wasn't alcoholic, conctocted the first "Hollywood Hopper Mac 'n Meatloaf" ever, and if that 60's icon was up for that, then the rest of us should be bowing before the same mixing bowl and taking the meal as our daily bread.hound dog wrote:Meatloaf with canned gravy, for god´s sake.

Re: Makin' Meatloaf
[quote="joec"]Dawg - I see your USUAL criticizm, but I don't see your recipe.
OK, John and, of course, i was just having fun with you. I imagine your and Joe´s meatloaf and much acclaimed pizza´s are quite good so, while we never eat American style meatloaf even though I like it; here is Dawg´s close approximation of this ground meat delight from an old jewish friend from Baghdad.
FRANCINE´S IRAQI LAYERED MEATLOAF
Ground Lamb
Copious Amounts of Mashed or Finely Chopped Garlic
Generous Amounts of Ground Allspice (known at Lakeside grocers as pimienta gorda)
Lots of Lemon Juice (and by that I mean limones agrias, limones amarillos or U.S. style yellow lemons) I usually use about ten lemons.
Pinenuts
Sliced Eggplant
Sliced Tomatoes
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt to Taste
Brown the ground lamb meat in olive oil with the pine nuts, garlic and lots of allspice and salt to taste. Saute the sliced eggplant in some olive oil. In a baking dish, layer the eggplant slices and tomato slices alternating with a layer of the lamb/pine nut/garlic mixture and then another layer of eggplant and tomato slices and ground lamb mixture topped off finally with a layer of tomatoes over which you pour the large amount of lemon juice to mix with the whole shebang. Sprinkle sugar over the top layer of tomatoes after having added the lemon juice. Bake this layered Iraqi layered meatloaf concoction in a hot oven for a while until the tomatoes on top have caramalized. Serve with rice cooked in the style popular in Iraq or perhaps Iranian-style "Chelo".

One of my great heroes. I had to think back but have decided his best movie was Red Rock West with Nicholas Cage. 1993. I can´t find a print of that film.

For the folks who don't know the Monkeys Band was trying to break away from the how cute are we NBC so they wanted to make this movie called Head. Also
it was my understanding that Jack Nicolson was also involved in the movie. It did not give the monkeys the new personality they wanted but was thought of
as a bomb and it was the end of the monkeys. Anybody seen the movie????? I have always wanted to see it.

My favorite? Flashback with Hopper and Keifer, wherein Dennis basically plays the guy we all think he really is: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099581/

Saw it at the show when it came out. Weird and druggy and totally not Monkee Fun. Very much the movie one would expect Nicholson and Hopper to make.Zedinmexico wrote:hound dog wrote:[]It may not be known to you that Dennis Hopper, upon completing the script for Head, and having partaken in some relaxation therapy that wasn't alcoholic, conctocted the first "Hollywood Hopper Mac 'n Meatloaf" ever, and if that 60's icon was up for that, then the rest of us should be bowing before the same mixing bowl and taking the meal as our daily bread.

Good recipe! Make sure your bouillon cubes don't contain MSG. Geez, I'm a wet blanket.

Lean ground beef, chopped onion and bell pepper. Add an egg, salt and pepper. Throw in some left over garlic bread, then add come tomato sauce and top with tomato paste. Oh yea and some chopped celery I need to get rid of.

Re: Makin' Meatloaf
Espíritu del Lago's recipe is similar to mine, which always gets rave reviews. I toss onions, a little garlic and bell peppers into a blender, then add to meat, eggs, bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, etc. I also add a little ketchup to the mix. Have always felt that the bell peppers were what added that extra needed flavor. Of course, I have to make a BIG meatloaf to feed our gang.
