meatloaf with onions & bell peppers

2018-06-18

Meatloaf is just a big meatball that's been baked in the oven. Or something like that.

I was making a meatball mix for soup, and someone asked if I was making meatloaf. It had been several years since I last made one, so here it is. It came out really good.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 4+ servings:

1 lbs. ground meat (mixed 50-50 pork+beef)
1 egg
1-2 cups onion/bell pepper mix, chopped fine
S&P, spices of choice
Worcestershire
optional:
I didn't have either
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- liver

Mix the meat, spices, egg and vegetables together.
divide over several ramekins.
Cook covered au bain marie 45-60 minutes, stovetop in a covered pot, or at 250 ºF in oven.
This one was done in the oven.
Remove from water bath or oven.
Refrigerate and use within 7 days.

Optional:

Pour melted lard / tallow / duck fat over the meat to seal the container.
If done properly, this allows storage in a cool pantry for several weeks.
