How To Make megan's coke meatloaf

  • Step 1
    In large bowl put both breadcrumbs, parsley, basil, ketchup, pepper and onion. Stir well. Sprinkle Accent over top. Add eggs, mix well. Add can of diet coke. Mix well. Add hamburger, mix well. Put into 2 loaf pans (the large metal ones of mine). Bake at 350 degrees 30 min. Spread tomato paste over the tops of meatloaves, then with a slotted spoon, top with diced tomatoes and a little of their juice. Return to oven, cook 30 min. Check by cutting into center. Can take 55-75 min (check at 60 min, mine took almost 90 min in my large pans). Let sit 10 min out of oven before serving.
