Site under construction! Trying to load pics next to directions... A work in progress. TY for your patience... I've been using this recipe for 34 years. It's always a hit! Please note that I use "meatloaf mix" [pork/veal/beef]. You can use ground beef but it just doesn't have the flavor worthy of posting on JAP... ... Questions/Comments

How To Make meatloaf for onion lovers

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • 2
    In a large mixing bowl add egg, ketchup, Accent, salt & black pepper Using wire whisk, mix until well blended
  • 3
    Take off any rings you're wearing!!!! One time I bit into my engagement ring! A lesson I didn't have to learn twice... lol
  • 4
    Add meat to bowl
  • 5
    Add bread crumbs on top of meat.
  • 6
    Add onion on top of breadcrumbs.
  • 7
    Combine mixture by squeezing it together with your fingers until well blended. For germophobes, I respectfully suggest that you use sterle latex or npn-latex gloves. This will help you get through the sqeezing process...
  • 8
    Use any glass or Corning Ware tray that will fit Make the loaf any shape that tickles your fancy. Loaf pan is not required
  • 9
    Put your rings back on lol
  • 10
    Place water into the tray up to 1/2" -1/3" from the bottom of the loaf. This will help stop burning
  • 11
    Bake 30-45 minutes or util done. To check for doneness, make a cut where you would make the 1st slice. Make sure it is well done [brown]. You will see grease on the top of the loaf &/or on the tray. Don't worry, it will slide off the loaf; may need a little encouraging. This happens more when using ground beef rather than veal/pork/beef mixture
