My wife and kids like this recipe. My four year old boy who eats mostly bologna, pancakes, and hot dogs asked for seconds on several occasions. It makes a sweet and flavorful meatloaf, but it also causes heartburn when I eat it. It's good, but I pay for it later.
1 1/2 pounds of ground beef 1 package of saltine crushed saltine crackers 2 eggs 3/4 a cup of milk 1 small onion chopped 1 small bell pepper chopped 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon of ginger 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup ketchup
Mix beef, crackers, milk, eggs, onion, bell pepper, salt, pepper, and ginger thoroughly. Pack brown sugar into bottom of a lightly greased loaf pan. Spread ketchup over the brown sugar. Place meatloaf over brown sugar and ketchup. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour or until juices run clear.
One word of caution: Make sure your meatloaf is about an inch or so below the top of the loaf pan or it will overflow. |
