Thank God it’s Friday! I guess you are exclaiming the same. But wait…after realizing that we have a hectic weekend ahead of us, I am not sure if I should really be happy about that because when Saturday comes we’ll not have a chance to even catch our breath! Just kidding. I am actually excited for this weekend to come and one of the reasons you will find out on Monday here on the blog.
Until on Monday then. Today, let us drool and be enticed first. I am so excited to share with you this dish that I have loved since the first time I tasted it. This is one of my late mother-in-law’s delicious recipes. My husband loves this dish a lot and he is always the one who prepares it whenever we are craving for it. It was actually the first thing he attempted to cook when he went through his Mom’s recipe box and it came out perfecto. It is so easy and quick to prepare but for his love of this dish, he always volunteers to do it himself even though he’s tired from work. He is probably adding a magic ingredient that he doesn’t want to share with me. Hee-hee.
So for you guys, I’m sharing with you today my mother-in-law’s meatloaf recipe.
June Bug’s Meatloaf
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1 egg
3/4 cup chopped green or red bell pepper
may add chopped garlic, garlic powder, oregano or hot sauce
Topping:
1 can (163 ml) tomato juice
2) Pour milk over bread crumbs or oatmeal or saltines. Let soften well before mixing everything together.
Topping:
1) Warm tomato juice.
2) Pour warm tomato juice on meatloaf.
It wasn’t the first time that I’ve tried meatloaf. The only difference was, the meatloaf that I’ve tried before back home was in a can. Nothing beats home-cooked meals, right? Maybe if I’m lucky, Hubby will be up to cooking this for Sunday dinner to help us recover from our busy weekend. Here’s hoping! (“,)
This looks delicious. We love meatloaf and I will have to give this recipe a try when I make it again. Looking forward to your post on Monday as well.
Thank you, Stacie. (“,)
I seriously love meatloaf. I like the sound of your recipe 🙂
Thank you. (“,)
I had recently made meatloaf and it was good.. since i was the only one who liked it, i would like to find a new recipe like this one, so hopefully the kids would like it also.
Kids can be picky. I am hoping the same – that they will like it too. (“,)
I like her version of the recipe. Meatloaf is such feel good food for me. This sounds terrific!
I have never in my life had meatloaf. I don’t think it’s a popular dish her in Ireland but I’d love to try it!
I haven’t had meatloaf before but this looks really good! Maybe it’s time I try it at home.
That photo is mouth watering! We love meatloaf and I’m in need of a new recipe!
Oooooo this meatloaf looks amazing!!! Might have to try it out!!
Meatloaf is one of my favorite meals to make for my family. The older kids love it but the younger ones not so much. Your version looks yummy too!
Wow, that looks amazing as a contribution dish to a potluck dinner this holiday season. We haven’t tried making meatloaf.
My family loves meatloaf. It’s such a comfort food. Yours looks moist. Thanks for sharing.
Can I substitute tomato juice with tomato sauce? I want thicker consistency. 🙂
I think you can. (“,)
This meatloaf looks absolutely delicious! And you are right – nothing is better than a home cooked meal!
I know, right? (“,)
yum!!! This looks absolutely delish!!:D
This looks really yummy. I bet my mom would love it too.
This looks delicious. I love the addition of hot sauce. Yum.
I don’t like anything spicy so although the hubs like spicy foods, he didn’t add hot sauce to it. (“,)
This sounds awesome and I make my a lot like this one too. I use red pepper instead of hot sauce though. Thanks for sharing.
I loved meatloaf when I was a child, and my mom made the best meatloaf! I’m now a vegetarian and have been for years, but it’s certainly one thing I miss.
I love to make meatloaf. I will have to try this recipe. The kids will love it.
Thanks for sharing the recipe sis, I might try this one day. Hubby loves meatloaf.
We love meatloaf. Haven’t made any in awhile though. Will have to try this new recipe.
I’ve never heard of oatmeal in a meatloaf. What a great way to get the oats in the family!!! 🙂
We haven’t tried using the oatmeal though. We’ve always used bread crumbs. But I’m really interested to try it one of these days.
Is meatloaf similar to our Morcon? Anyways, this looks delish and I think it’s really super sweet of you to make it for your husband. I am not too sure if I’ve already tried meatloaf. Lol.
I don’t think they’re similar. They almost look the same though. There’s sauteing done in morcon. Not in meatloaf.
I think passing down family recipes is such a wonderful way to keep memories alive… Your recipe sounds delicious.
It is wonderful. I’ve never met my MIL so it’s kind of surreal to “see” her through her recipes. (“,)
I love a good meatloaf recipe & that definitely looks tasty! Thanks for sharing & tell your MIL too! 🙂
That looks really good! We don’t have a set meatloaf recipe, but I think we’re finally getting to one that we make often.
Wow, this looks like an easy recipe to follow esp. for someone like me who is “cooking-challenged.” 🙂
Ohh I just made meatloaf tonight and wis I had seen this first – it looks sooo good! Will try it next week 🙂
Meat loaf is a class! I hadn’t tried it this way before!
Now I’m craving meatloaf! lol This sounds simple and tasty!
