Parmesan Meatloaf with Parmesan Herb Mix

PictureParmesan Meatloaf
There's nothing like the smell of meatloaf in the oven on a cool, cloudy day.  According to Food.com, a version of this recipe containing oats has been around since 1891, the year Quaker Oats was formed. Many of us remember it being a familiar dish our Moms made.  Well this Mom (and Grandma) still makes it, adding my own twist. (See Parmesan Herb Mix below.) Because this recipe is so retro, I decided to bake it in a Corning loaf pan I found at Goodwill. It just seemed fitting. 

Meatloaf makes great left-overs like my Mom used to make: a meatloaf sandwich with dill pickle and ketchup. By the way, my favorite ketchup to date is Trader Joe's, but Costco has a new organic ketchup I intend to check out and review soon.  Look for my recipe for a meatloaf addition to Vegetable Tostadas in my next post.

Serves: 6   Serving size: 3 1/2 ounces  Preparation time: 20 minutes  Baking time: 90 minutes approx.
Ingredients
2 pounds lean ground beef
2 large eggs
1 cup uncooked oats
8 oz tomato sauce
1/8 cup dried chopped onion
1/2 cup Parmesan Herb Mix
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
ketchup
Directions
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix all the ingredients except for the ketchup in a large bowl.
3. Grease a 12" x 7 1/2" x 3" loaf pan and shape mixture into it.
4. Using ketchup from a squeezable bottle, squeeze onto top of loaf in a lattice pattern.
5. Bake for about 90 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
Note: Leftover meatloaf is delicious added to scrambled eggs, soups and chili, and potato dishes.  Look for my recipe for a meatloaf addition to Vegetable Tostadas.

I'm glad you like it, Gay. My hubby likes this so much, he'd be happy if I made it every week!

    Linda M. Kurth is the creative mind behind such stories as the romance, Home of the Heart, and her  memoir, God, the Devil and Divorce, as well as the recipes and crafts you'll find in these pages. Here's how this blog began:
    ​
    "This chicken salad is fabulous" my writer friends told me at our little luncheon. "We want the recipe."

    "I've been thinking of starting a recipe blog," I said. "This will be the first dish on it. Will that work for you?"

    "Do it!" they urged. 

    I've thought about creating a cookbook for years, but with all of my other activities, I realize that's not going to happen in the traditional sense. So I'm happy to have this venue to share my favorite dishes and discoveries. I hope you'll find some dishes here that become some of your favorites too.
