I've got a second meatloaf discovery for you. It's good cold.

I'm just a little uspset with DH. After searching high and low in the
kitchen I could not find my meatloaf pans. Apparently he tossed them
thinking to surprise me with new ones not knowing I would be doing
meatlaf before it got cold. Godblesshim, he always has an excuss to
make himself look angelic Anyway, what I did was compromise. I used
an extra large glass casserole pan figuring I could cut the meat loaf
into squares. Since I wanted half plain and half with sauteed
mushrooms, onions, and cheese I figured no problem. I thought of
forming two loaves then decided to mush it all down in the pan then top
one side with the extras. I must say things are coming out nicely and I
may just use the casserole pan idea again. I like the idea of cutting
the meatloaf into squares rather than slices and I can cook two kinds at
once. It's cleaner and easier than meatloaf muffins and we never eat it
cold anyway.

Nope - Better cold....

A cold meatloaf sandwich - Must have Heinz ketchup on at least one of the bread
slices.

Nope, sorry. DH will warm it up every time with maybe a little beef
gravy. Other than that I make enough to either use up all at once or
freeze the rest to be warmed up with gravy. I've yet to eat meatloaf
cold and I know for sure DH would never eat it cold. BTW, my mom never,
ever made meatloaf! I was so thrilled when dear MIL taught me how to do
it. It was not something that was ever served at home. I love the
stuff but I do like it warm. DH and the kids basically inhale it and
then eye my plate because I eat slower than them. They will actually
take quick pokes at my plate hoping to get another piece but my fork is
pretty quick. Rather a nasty, heathen like thing but DH reconds it's
all fair when it comes to food and I'm never a big eater so always have
leftovers on my plate. He figures tis better to eat than waste
Meatloaf is one of the few recipes I gear so there aren't leftovers
unless I plan on freezing some and they know it. I freeze meatloaf with
the gravy so when I warm it up, it is ready to go.

We don't care for Hellmans preferring Miracle Whip. DD defected and now
uses Hellmans instead of Miracle Whip. We had sandwiches at DD's and
damn they were good. We are thinking of defecting to Hellmans too

As far as I'm concerned, the main reason to make meatloaf is so that we
can have cold meatloaf sandwiches the next day. In fact, sometimes I
make one to have in the frig for just that purpose.

OK grainy mustard is also good - we do agree on the Best Foods although I don't
think the taste is the same as it used to be. - It's just different. I suspect
they're using a different oil.

Sounds like you have your own white tornado ... drives me nuts
going crazy looking for something only to find, oh, I threw that out,
I didn't think you wanted it. Grrr.

I just make two loaves, freeform, and cook them in a baking dish
side by side. I don't think I'd like meatloaf cubes, but to each their
own. Leftovers make nice sandwiches on white with butter ... I can
only imagine that's something leftover from my childhood. Or I reheat
it until barely warm and have that with ketchup or gravy on it.

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes ... hmmm, soon as it cools down.
Don't forget the peas. The all (mostly) mushy comfort food dinner.

The Hellman's (same thing) that I bought recently has Canola Oil written
prominently across the front label. I'm not sure what they used to use.

Chopped meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn, all smooshed together.
It's like cottage pie without the layers. <G>

Yeppers! I do the freeform meatloaf too. It is so very good with mashed
potatoes and peas. I don't like cooking it with tomatoes or ketchup on top.
I like to see the top shiny with a bit of grease and bits of onion poking
out. Of course that shiny top must be covered with gravy though. Durn, I'm
hungry!

Closest I've been able to come is to call it Puke. But I discovered that
Crash has always done the very same thing. Hmmm .... I should make a
cottage pie. Same great taste, less pukey-looking.

My DH's favourite meal.....hamburger, browned with onions, drained, a
can of cream of mushroom soup stirred in. Poured over mashed potatoes
and a half a can of cream corn on top of it all.......yuck...I always
bake a potato and grill a steak on these nights....Sharon

Interesting. Is it the light version? I'm in MA and my active Hellmann's and
two reserves (one of which I just bought today) all list soybean oil.)

Nope, it's not the light version. The front label does go out of its way
to announce 22g Omega 6, 1.1g Omega 3, low saturated fat and no trans fat.

Ingredient list: Canola oil, water, whole eggs and egg yolks, vinegar,
salt, sugar, lemon juice, natural flavors, calcium disodium EDTA (used to
protect quality).

Does soybean oil have trans fats??

This was a regular meat loaf double sized baked at 350 for about an hour
or so. No bacon or tomato sauce. One half was left plain the other
topped with sauteed mushrooms and onions as well as cheese. The end
result is one half plain and one half fancy all cut itto neat little
squares

I bought Hellman's recently (a small squirt bottle) and noticed that
they had regular old Hellman's (made w/ soybean oil) and the new canola
version. How does the canola stuff taste, Carol?

It's almost like the Beef Crumble over mashed potatoes they used to
serve in grade school and high school. Anybody remember beef crumble?
It wan't meatloaf per se, just cooked ground beef, crumbled up w/
sauteed onion and celery, mixed w/ beef gravy, ladled over a scopp of
mashed potatoes. Served with white bread & butter and some kind of
veggie...corn? green beans? Everybody loathed it in grade school and
loved it in high school. But during grade school, it was always served
with peanut butter fingers for dessert, so everybody bought lunch that
day.

Puke is just as good a name as any, though!!

I love that! The crumbled meat, that is. Not allowed to have peanut butter
in school these days.

My meatloaf pan is actually two loaf pans, one of which fits inside the
other. The top pan has holes in it, so that fat drips into the bottom,
ridged pan. No congealed fat in MY leftover meatloaf. I think I must make
some this week.

I wonder if they've changed the recipe from soybean to canola, or if they're
offering both. I have no idea about transfats in either, Carol, but I'd be
interested in a taste comparison, too.

Felice

Hellman's canola

Slight textural difference, but otherwise indistinguishable from
regular.

Not sure yet. I bought two big jars in anticipation of making a lot of
pasta and potato salad over the summer, and that never happened. Crash is
asking for potato salad now, so I'll probably break into one of the jars
within the next couple of days. I'll report back.

That's precisely how I started eating that kind of thing. With corn. All
stirred together.

Barf is probably better. An afterthought on my part.

Thanks!

All this reminds me of what I used to think of as meat potatoes. Never
knew its real name, if it had any. A large church in north central
Indiana used to host the bi-monthly business meetings for the
presbytery (like a church diocese or district). They served lunch for
about 300 people, always the same menu. --
..
A meat something in about the size and shape of a baked potato, made
with ground beef, ground ham, and I don't know what else. Baked in
relays on sheet pans, no foil, -- probably had onion, egg, herbs,
breading. I haven't been able to duplicate it in these over 20 years
later. I may write to them and see if anyone still alive remembers the
recipe. Perhaps they are still using it.
..
Served with usually green beans, (I don't remember if potatoes), a side
of slaw, and a dessert of a square of a sheet cake or a fruit
cocktail, (or both for me). All those little bowls on the tray.
SImple, efficient for a crowd, and really tasty.

Because some kid might have a peanut allergy that will prove to be lethal.

It's amazing isn't it just how very _deadly_ p-nut allergies are isn't
it? And it seems to be getting more common.

Parents have to read ALL store labels so carefully as peanut oil use is
rampant.

Yeah, I don't know what is going on, kids didn't have constant earaches
that required tubes, either, when I was a kid.

Theory goes that kids are too protected nowadays.
They don't go outside and play, eat dirt, etc. so are not exposed to as
much. Being too protected supposedly weakens the immune system and
leaves you _more_ vulnerable to disease.

That's one reason I'm not anal about keeping food and water in baby
chick brooders that clean. I clean them once per day no matter how much
they poop in it. I've never had sick babies from doing that. ;-)

Not sure what that might have to do with allergies tho'?

I remember grandma say something like "you have to eat a pound of dirt
before you die."
