I made meat loaf the other night that has been giving me acid
indigestion that you would not believe.

2 1/2 lbs 15% ground sirloin
3/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
1/2 cup oatmeal
2 eggs
1/2 jar Ragu meat spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. cummen
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

Cooked at 350 for 50 minutes(covered) and 10 minutes @ 400 uncovered.
Drained the fat from the pan and put on a rack for another 5 minutes.
Put on the serving platter and sprinkled some parmesan cheese on the top
before slicing and serving.

Came out moist and flavorful, BUT, gave acid indigestion. Any
suggestions on where I went wrong or what I can do to minimize/eliminate
this in the future ?

Thanks,
Ted

Take two OTC Xantac (Ranitidine) prior to eating. :-)
I have a hiatal hernia so nearly anything I eat gives me heartburn
and/or acid indigestion. It's a rather common problem. :-P

This stuff is great and prevents it.

It might be the garlic powder. I can't eat it, but fresh garlic never
does that to me. Garlic powder just keeps repeating itself to the point
where I feel ill.

Funny... I have just the opposite reaction. :-)
Garlic powder is fine, but if I eat fresh garlic, not only do I taste it
all the live long day in my mouth, but I sweat it too.

I have a similar problem with curry. :-P

Experiment and find out what works for you. G

I don't know where you get that, but I only get predictable

Add a roll of crushed TUMS to you meatloaf.

Seriously though, it's the onions for me. If I cook them first
or leave them out I don't get heartburn.

I have been on Atkins for years and my acid indigestion is completely
gone.

It returns ten-fold if I go off the diet.

great (and sometimes not so great) words of knowledge:

Thank you for the replies.

From what has been said, there are a couple of things I will do in the
future - Use a leaner ground beef, reduce the amount of bread crumbs,
add some potato, and sauté the onions and celery first.

As far as seeing a doctor - I do see one on a regular basis. In almost
60 years I have had acid indigestion perhaps 10 times (and about 7 of
them were when I was in my 20's and 30's [too much party time {:-) ]

Thank you again for the help and have a Happy and Safe Holiday.

I have found that sometimes when I include onions they are not totally
cooked and that will give me indigestion.

This would do me the same as you.
