\"Meatloaf<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s so colorful!<\/p>\n

We are in the freezer clean out phase seeing as we haven’t been shopping in a while. But this is a good thing. Instead of continually buying more meats and just throwing it into the freezer, we’re eating everything. Like a few days ago, I made him liver and onions. Note I said \u201chim\u201d as I didn’t touch it. Cleaning and cooking it was enough for me!<\/p>\n

But anyhow. Last night I thawed out 2.5 pounds of hamburger meat thinking I’d make something with it. Instead we ended up going to our favorite new pizza place, Corrina’s, and picked up a few subs. So tonight, it’s all about that hamburger meat. And without a grill, what better way to utilize it than meatloaf?<\/p>\n

As always, I use basic recipes online to make sure I’m cooking at the right temp, etc, but this recipe is totally made up as I go. Cuz that’s how I roll!<\/p>\n

mmmmmMeatloaf<\/strong><\/span>
\n1 medium onion, diced
\n2-3 garlic cloves, minced
\n2 eggs
\n1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
\nheavy shaking of desired spices – I used chili powder, pepper, and Lawry’s seasoning
\n2.5lbs hamburger meat
\n1 cup BBQ sauce
\n2 slices cheese
\n1 cup ketchup<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 350*<\/p>\n

\"Meatloaf<\/a><\/p>\n

Mix everything together in a large bowl except for the ketchup and cheese until all ingredients are well distributed throughout the meat.<\/p>\n

Still in the bowl, split the mixture into 4 roughly equal sizes.<\/p>\n

Place 1\/4 of the mixture into each of 2 loaf pans. You can also make these on a large baking pan free form. In that case, mush 1\/4 of the mixture into 2 loaf shapes.<\/p>\n

\"Meatloaf<\/a><\/p>\n

Cut the slices of cheese into halves and place 2 halves on top of each loaf.<\/p>\n

Place the remaining 1\/4 of the mixture atop each of the loaves and pinch together with the bottom so the cheese doesn’t spill out during cooking.<\/p>\n

Top each loaf with ketchup. Place in the center of the oven and cook for 75 minutes or until center of each loaf is fully cooked.<\/p>\n

\"Meatloaf<\/a><\/p>\n

Let sit in pan for about 5 minutes. Remove from pan, slice and serve with your favorite side dishes.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
