I'm making a 5 pound meatloaf tomorrow. Does cooking it at 350 for 2 1/2 hours sound right? Also what should I put in it to make it taste like the best damn meatloaf ever?

DO NOT FORGET THE WAR SAUCE!

also, I always add rice, but fuck you're using 5lbs of beef so you probably won't need any filler.

>>5557452
How many eggs? Should I do ketchup or gravy?

[Anonymous No.5557469]

>>5557462
i usually do an egg per pound, combined with the breadcrumbs and onions it makes great filler

[Anonymous No.5557547]

>>5557537
>The name comes from German zwei ("two") or zwie ("twi-"), and backen, meaning "to bake".[2] Zwieback hence literally translates to "twice-baked".

are you trying to be this retarded or is it just natural?

First off, please don't cook it that long.

Restaurant proven best practices:

Wrap your loaf in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil. Cook at 400 for 45 mins, unwrap the loaf, bake 30 mins more, baste with sauce, then bake about 15 mins until the inside hits 160.

1 large egg per pound of meat.

bacon wrapped is always a good idea

if you must use oats, mix it twice as long to ensure it will hold together.

[Anonymous No.5557674]

>>5557632
Wrap the loaf itself or the loaf and cooking tray all together?

[Anonymous No.5557693]

>>5557674
I should have clarified, you want to wrap the loaf itself. Try to make sure there are no air bubbles.

What the fuck guys?

[Anonymous No.5557733]

Don't use oats; DO use habanero jelly in the meat and as part of the topping (mix with ketchup). Use plenty of garlic (I do a clove and a half or even two per pound of meat) and pepper and cumin. Crackers or homemade breadcrumbs work.mushrooms make for pretty good additional filler.

I also add chopped jalapenos sometimes. Definitely serve with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable or boxed mac and cheese if you're feeling fat. I make meatloaf every week and it's different every time. Have fun with it!

[Anonymous No.5557735]

No, just no. Piss off with this shitty cooking practice of putting hot peppers in everything.

[Anonymous No.5558991]

>>5557705
no, it sticks to the aluminum and stays put. It's a restaurant trick to seal in moisture, sort of loosely like sous vide cooking. I've also used this to speed up lasagna in a pinch, plastic wrap and foil seal in the steam and it cooks more quickly.

[Anonymous No.5559002]

I agree with this. I use BBQ sauce in mine too and it's awesome.

I remember one time when I was growing up, we had some leftover cornbread and dad crumbled it up and used it for the breadcrumbs in the meatloaf, and I have literally never had meatloaf as good as that was, ever again. I need to try it sometime myself.
