May 5, 2018 at 8:39 pmHere’s my basic meatloaf recipe:
1 lb. of ground beef
1-2 eggs, beaten
1/2 breadcrumbs or oatmeal
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 dried minced white onion
garlic to taste
1 tbsp. parsley flakes
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. aromatic herb: oregano, thyme, savory or marjoram (may use two, but reduce amount if more than two)
1/3 cup ketchup
Mix with spoon, then knead by hand until well mixed. Fry small patty in pan to taste if seasoning is as desired, then place in glass loaf pan and bake at 350 for one hour.

May 5, 2018 at 8:33 pmI’m wondering how to replicate Stouffer’s meat loaf. It’s so light. I can tell it has onion in it. Is it extra egg? I made one with too much breadcrumbs, and its texture was just like a diner’s, so I know how they do theirs.
Stephanie says
May 8, 2018 at 3:18 amI will have to give theirs a try. I haven’t tried it in recent memory.

March 5, 2015 at 10:50 amStephanie, I might have posted a recipe request in the wrong place… My wife and I were looking for a copycat of Cotton Patch Cafe’s meatloaf. I’m afraid today that I will have to make a special trip 30 minutes into town to pick up a to-go order.
