Frank Zappa (Dont let your) Meatloaf



Made this Tuesday night....in a big hurry and damnit, its the best meatloaf I have ever eaten!!! Had to make a simple ingredient sub right at the end, which is what I think put it out of the park!! Very moist, very tender and just the right amount of spice. And BTW, Frank Zappa had a song lyric that went "Dont let your meat loaf,haw haw haw!!

Frank Zappa Meatloaf

2 pounds 73/27 ground beef
1 pound hot breakfast sausage
2 large eggs
1 cup bread crumbs
2 large sweet onions (hot damn, Vidalias are in season!)
1 large bell pepper
2 table spoons garlic crushed
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup sweet chilli garlic sauce (any brand)
1/4 cup worchestershire suace
4 or 5 good shakes of hot sauce
salt
pepper

chop onion , bell pepper and garlic and saute in butter until tender then reserve
then in a bowl, mix together (with your hands): The ground beef,sausage, eggs and bread crumbs,salt and pepper
add cooked veggies
DO NOT OVERWORK THIS MIXTURE....it will be tuff if you do!!
add worshestershire and hot sauce
grease a large glass baking dish
shape meat mixture into a even loaf size (so it will cook evenly)
mix together ketchup and chilli suace,then spread all over meatloaf

bake at 400 for 1 hour, covered with foil
turn up to broil, remove foil and cook for 10 minutes
serve with mashed potatoes or my mac and cheese
Even better as a sandwich the next day!!!!!

  1. I should have known you've been quoting Zappa all week! You're going to have to make me aware of these things!
