I've only made it once and it was good but then I forgot all about it. I just saw a recipe which caught my interest. All the veg are pureed in the processor and the meat, crumbs etc added. The veg are carrot, onion, red bell pepper, mushroom and garlic and there is a glaze for adding near the end with sugar, ketchup and mustard! What say you? Does that sound good? -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

That sounds similar to what I do but I cook the veggies down before I mix them in. Otherwise it will give off a lot of liquid. I use chili sauce on top. We've covered the chili sauce thing before. It's similar to ketchup and not hot. |

Even canned baked beans is good in meat loaf, but I push them through the grinder. |

But I still like to see what I am dealing with which is why I cook my veggies first then add tomato or vegetable juice and ketchup to the mix. If you don't cook the veggies down, they will give off a lot of liquid which may or may not work. I've not had a big problem with it but I make many individual loaves and I have been afraid that there would be so much liquid that it would run all over the stove. It didn't. And it will absorb back up into the loaves as they rest after cooking. |
