Made a meatloaf tonight, pure Midwestern comfort food. Served with baked potato and corn.
Recipe:
11/2 lbs ground chuck. (Grind my own, no pink slime)
1 lb of ground pork (from a wild pig I shot in March)
1 Carrot, shredded
2 sticks of celery, diced
1/2 onion, diced
2 Tbs bell pepper, finely chopped
1 sm can of mushrooms(chopped into smaller pieces)
2 eggs
3 Tbs Ketchup/catsup
1 Tbs Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbs Tone's beef base
1/2 cup Panko
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar/Monterey Jack cheese
2 tsp Thyme
2 tsp granulated garlic
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp coarse ground black pepper

Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, form into a loaf. I bake it at 350 degrees for about 90 minutes. I put the loaf on a rack so it doesn't soak up too much grease and get mushy.
