My BH & G recipe for favorite beef loaf calls for bread soaked in milk for a couple minutes, and then torn into little bits. It's a filler, like crumbs. The recipe (I don't have it with me) makes a great-tasting meatloaf. I would never put water in a meatloaf - tomato sauce, maybe; milk, definitely (as described), and always a couple eggs. N. |

milk in meatloaf?
Quite a few years ago there used to be a meat loaf recipe using canned milk
on (of course) the canned milk label. I have not seen it in a long time, but I no longer use much evaporated milk. Vikki in WA State.

Why not add flavor when adding moisture? Same with meatballs. I wouldn't be interested in using water. nancy |

Maybe they use only beef in their loaves, maybe that's why they need the moisture. I always use beef and pork and veal, or at least beef and pork, and haven't found a need for added moisture. I add an egg and just a small bit of bread crumbs to get the texture I like. Occasionally I will add a bit of canned diced tomatoes and some of that juice, in which case I probably would add a few more crumbs. Our meatloaf usually is more for sandwiches than for heating hot and we like a firm, dense loaf for that. -aem |

I just add the milk to the meatloaf mix, I don't know if it would be very easy to squeeze out breadcrumbs. I dislike cubes of bread in my meatloaf or meatballs, that's just me. nancy |

Can you provide the whole recipe? > > Often times recipes call for soaking dry bread in milk and then squeezing it dry before adding it to the meat mix, IMO this adds nothing to the flavour, i have also stopped adding a raw egg to the mix, but have started adding pureed cabbage to it. I like to use a good meat stock to the mix to make it fairly soupy, allowing it to become very well mixed, but this results in a very fine grained almost pate like meat loaf, which i like but many people prefer a "chunkier" meat loaf. I like the fined grained meat loaf so it can be sliced thin for meat loaf sandwiches. -- JL |

I have tried it and didn't like it, though I'd be hard put to explain exactly why. Just something about it. My current favorite meatloaf is this one... * Exported from MasterCook * 13 Crackers Meat Loaf Recipe By : Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 Egg 1/3 Cup Chili Sauce 1 Teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce 1/2 Teaspoon Dry Mustard 1/2 Teaspon Salt 1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper 1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder 1 Pound Ground Beef 1/3 Cup Chopped Onion (I use more) 1/4 Cup Chopped Green Pepper (I use more) 13 Saltine Crackers -- finely crushed 1 Tablespoon Chili Sauce Preheat oven to 350° F. Whisk together the egg, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside. Crumble ground beef into large mixing bowl. Add chopped onion, chopped green pepper, and crushed crackers. Toss meat mixture together with two forks until all ingredients are well distributed. Add reserved egg mixture and mix thoroughly with hands. Shape into an oval loaf and place in baking dish. Smooth top and spread 1 tablespoon chili sauce evenly over surface. Bake in lower third of oven for 1 hour, 15 minutes, or until nicely brown and juices run clear. Remove from oven and cover with aluminum foil. Allow to stand 15 minutes before slicing. -- Wayne Boatwright __________________________________________________ One thing about pain: It proves you're alive. |

I don't season it too heavily as the flavor of the meat really comes out with the A1. It's more moist than beef, so you will need more bread crumbs than normal. I mix it up and let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours, then form it in to two mini-loaves and bake unclovered at 350-375 for an hour or so. The last 20 minutes I cover it with a layer of A1 and catsup (mixed 1:1), into which I mix pepper, garlic and onion powder. The ground turkey I use is 7% fat. You want it to brown a bit and form that lovely crust all over. -L. |

I soak canned bread crumbs in a 1/2 can of condensed milk, it seems to make it easier to get a good mix and seems to bind the ingredients together to make for easier slicing without crumbling apart. Just had meatloaf for dinner tonight and was it ever good. JD |

I usually use ketchup to moisten the meat loaf, no eggs, mustard powder, poultry seasoning, lots of salt and pepper, bread crumbs, onion, dash of worcestershire and all beef. During the final five minutes of cooking, I top the loaf off with a barbecue sauce that I toss together, and serve extra sauce on the side. Maybe the chili sauce would be good for that also instead of making a barbecue sauce. I notice that you also pat your meat loaf into an oval and put in a baking dish. I have been doing that for a few years now, and I find it is so much better than using a loaf pan. The meat loaf does not sit in the fat while it is cooking and also it cooks more evenly in a larger pan. The cracker crumb idea never appeals to me; I have heard of using oatmeal also, and wonder how that would work. |

Were only it that simple... adding a bit of milk can only make a slight improvement to already delicious meat loaf... but if meat loaf is lousy milk can't help. |

I don't like chili sauce and I hate eggs in meatloaf so I's never use either. I think meatloaf, like many things, is a personal taste. Some people like eggs and other things in it, others don't. -L. |

They are made with stale bread and usually sell for a higher price that would have been charged for they bread from which they were made. |
