Tonights dinner..

[luvmeluvmycat]

So I am cooking (eek) and trying something new.


I am making meatloaf (my fav!), but adding a small twist. The recipe calls for (as typical) 1lb ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, 1 egg AND sour cream & 1 packet of onion soup mix.

I am going to mix that all together then take 1/2 of the batch, put cheddar cheese in the middle, then close it up with the rest on top. Now I know that the cheese is obviously going to melt in the oven, but does anyone think that it would completely melt, or stay gooey in the middle?


PLEASE ADVISE!

tough one to call. Rob should know. How long is it supposed to be in the oven for? I would think it would only stay gooey if you put it in meatloaf long enough to melt it. I can see that just mixing into the meat if you're throwing it in from the beginning.

[luvmeluvmycat]

Well, its going to be inside, so I am thinking it may stay gooey bc the middle is the last part to cook? It calls to be in the oven for 45mins on 375- then 10-15mins w/o the foil.

[nycxtcgirl69]

i have never done this. but it sounds excellent. good luck

[Toni Bunz]

My mom uses mozzarella in hers...comes out so delicious!!!!!!! She also mixes in ketchup with her ingredients(same as yours above)

[antknee]

throw hardboiled eggs in the meatloaf before you cook. My pops used to do that.

Damn this thread actually put the idea of Salisbury Steak in my head.....

[nycxtcgirl69]

i would add some bacon in it too :spitfall

[luvmeluvmycat]

i would add some bacon in it too :spitfall

I was thinking of cooking it with bacon strips on top...I guess I will now. :)

[Toni Bunz]

It should stay gooey in the middle :spitfall

Show: Paula's Home Cooking
Episode: English Pub Fare





4 medium-sized russet or other baking potatoes, well scrubbed
12 ounces bacon, chopped
8 ounces sliced button mushrooms
1/4 cup brandy
1 tablespoon green peppercorns, drenched in cold water
1 cup cream
Salt and pepper
Butter, for topping

Potato: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prick potatoes with a fork and bake until soft, about 1 hour.
Sauce: Saute bacon, add button mushrooms and cook until golden brown. Pour brandy first into a measuring cup (for safety) and then into the pan and carefully ignite with a long match. After the alcohol burns off and the flame has died, stir in the peppercorns. Stir in the cream and heat through, without boiling. Salt and pepper, to taste.

Cut open baked potatoes. Top each with a spoonful of butter, then cover generously with sauce.

I would be careful cooking w/ cheddar.. it can get oily


I use mozz in mine too Toni~

[luvmeluvmycat]

Well, say I did use the mozzerella- then I can't use the sour cream which I thought would give it an awesome little tang- hmmm.. :whatnow

[Toni Bunz]

leave out the sour cream and add in some ketchup!
I really want meatloaf now lol thanx!

[luvmeluvmycat]

Mozz and ketchup!?

I am so confused :sobbing

[Toni Bunz]

LOL well you probably already made the meatloaf, but I meant to mix in the ketchup when you mix all the other ingredients together and put mozz in the middle instead of cheddar.

How did dinner come out last night?

:agree , yeah what she said.

And the ketchup mixed in the groundbeef makes in more tender and juicy... not overpowering

[MIAMI_JESSAY]

Zilla, I have done this before... i may even be making that tonight :keke .... it stays in the middle so long as the laf doesnt start to split... you have to roll it well to prevent the oozing....i like to add a kick i chop jalpenos, green n red peppers and tomatos... :eat

my paste part is the eggs and breadcrumbs ketchup mustard powder chopped garlic tomatos and the peppers and jalapenos.....yummmy

[nycxtcgirl69]

:floor


Well, I must admit it came DELISH! The cheese did start to ooze a wee bit out of the sides, even though I thought I tightened it up enough. The smell of sour cream filled the whole house when I was baking it. :heart

I also sliced potatoes and threw some salt, pepper, and a little garlic on them and baked them to be well done. They were so good too :spitfall

I was actaully impressed with myself! Thanks to everyone who helped, I really appreciate it...Anyone have any other recipies? I am cooking again tomorrow :secret

[antknee]

My mom makes meatloaf 2 ways, the way your mom does (the ketchup, onion mix, breadcrumbs, grated cheese, etc..) and then she makes it without the ketchup in it, and slices onions and sweetpotatoes, and cooks it in the same pan but with tomato sauce over it - served over rice or egg noodles :spitfall

[snowangel]

i don't like when my mom mixes ketchup in w/the meat :shuffle

I prefer mozz or bacon strips on top yummm

[Toni Bunz]
