Father's Day Meatloaf

Created a new  MEATLOAF 

especially for Father's Day.

Baked this one in a braided pan 
to where the finished Meatloaf had a braided shape.

Pleasant taste.  

The flavor and texture turned out well.

Doubling the recipe filled the braided pan I used.
I didn't double the eggs or onion.

 
I used a brown sugar blend to cut back on the sugars.  I've never put the glaze mixture of brown sugar and ketch-up in the bottom of the baking pan first.  This was a big surprise for me that it turned out alright after the meatloaf was baked and flipped out onto the serving platter.


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
 Spread the brown sugar and ketch-up into the bottom of a greased baking pan.

In separate mixing bowl place the ground beef and other ingredients.
Mix well.

Pat meat mixture into pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.

Pour off excess grease and slice off raised loaf to flatten 

what will become the bottom of meatloaf that will rest on the serving platter.

Bake an additional 20 minutes.

Cover loaf with aluminum foil and allow loaf to rest in baking pan at least 20 minutes 
before flipping it out onto a serving platter and slicing the servings.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup brown sugar (I used Splenda Brown Sugar)
1/2 cup ketch-up
1 1/2 pound beef
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 small onion
3/4 cup bread crumbs
Tbsp. of bar-b-que sauce
Tbsp. of Country Bob's

I'll tweak the recipe next time so there isn't so much grease.

73/27 was way too greasy after baking.  Will use 95/5 or 80/20.

Served with
Pink Lemonade 

Italian Green Beans, 

Combination Salad

and Mashed Potatoes.

Cherry Cheese Cake for Dessert 

with Coffee.

Lil Miss made this Cherry Cheesecake herself for her Grand Dad

Made for a very nice meal 

and the Father of my children loved it.

Blessings,
