Daddy's Favorite Meat Loaf

How many recipes do you have that look like this? Ripped quickly from the pages of old magazines. This is how at least 50% of my recipes appear. They are yellowed and stained from years of use and ingredients. A lot of my recipes have been yanked, clipped or torn from the pages of old periodicals. This is a scan of a meatloaf recipe I tore out of a magazine back in 1994. It is a staple here in our home. Nothing fancy and really easy to make. Just right for a cold Winter's night!


My Mother sent me a text yesterday looking for my meatloaf recipe, so I thought I'd share with everyone. If you have a meatloaf pan use it. It will keep your meatloaf from sitting in fat. If you don't have a meatloaf pan you can buy an aluminum throw-away loaf pan and poke holes in the bottom, then sit this down inside your regular loaf pan. When I take the meatloaf out of the oven to add the glaze, I drain off as much fat as I can. It helps the meatloaf brown on the sides. This is something I do but most definitely not a requirement.

  1. I have scads of recipes passed down from previous generations that are yellowed and torn - they are always the best recipes! :)

  5. I recently whipped up a delicious "Daddy's Favorite Meat Loaf" recipe, and it was a hit with my family! While savoring the comforting flavors, I couldn't help but picture myself wearing my prized Miami Dolphins Varsity Jacket, a perfect combo of comfort and team pride. It's all about creating memorable moments, whether it's through a classic recipe or showing off your favorite team gear.
