I thought I'd post our dinner's recipes today! We are having "Cheeseburger Meatloaf" with homemade ketchup.
Cheeseburger Meatloaf
1 cup ketchup
2 eggs
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tsp. onion powder
2 lbs ground beef
4 tsp. mustard
4 tsp. dill pickle relish
6 slices American cheese
Combine 1/2 cup ketchup, eggs, crumbs together in bowl. Crumble meat over and mix well. On waxed paper, pat into a rectangle. Spread remaining ketchup, mustard and pickle relish over, and top with four slices of cheese. Roll up like a jellyroll, seal seam and ends, and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Cut remaining cheese diagonally and place on top of meatloaf. Return to oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool ten minutes before slicing.
Homemade Ketchup
This recipe is from www.hillbillyhousewife.com
6 oz. unsalted tomato paste (I use regular and omit the salt from the recipe)
1/3 cup water
2 Tbsp. white vinegar
1/4 tsp. each dry mustard, cinnamon, and salt
pinch of cloves and nutmeg
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/3 cup brown sugar
Blend ingredients and refrigerate overnight. Can be used right away if needed, but it will taste better after resting overnight.
If you try one of these recipes, let me know how it turns out!
Blessings,
Momma
Update: We thought the ketchup was WAY too sweet. When making it again, I will drastically cut the sugar!
Thank you for the comment on my blog. I really needed to hear what you said today. If there is anything I love more it having a mom who has gone before me encourage me. Do you mind if I add you to my friends?
