Meatloaf Deluxe

This comforting dish is a favorite for all of us.  Our 12-month-old absolutely devours it.  I made some adjustments to this recipe.  

Deluxe Meatloaf

           serves 6

• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup ketchup + 2-4 tbsp
• 1 can kidney beans:  rinsed, drained and mashed (I run them through the food processor)
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 1 celery rib, chopped (if you have it)
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
• 1/4 tsp seasoned salt
• 1 lb extra-lean ground beef
• 2-3 tbsp water

1. In a large bowl, combine the egg, 1/2 cup ketchup, mashed (or pureéd) kidney beans, oatmeal, onion, celery, Worcestershire sauce, lemon-pepper seasoning, and seasoned salt.  

2. Crumble beef over the mixture and mix well with your hands.

3. Press into a greased 8×8 inch baking dish or a large bread pan.  Shape into a loaf if you’d like.

4. In a bowl, combine a little extra ketchup and water.  Spread over the meat.

5. Bake at 350º for about one hour, or until a meat thermometer reads 160º.
