I tried this recipe, replacing the ground pork with spicy pork sausage. My husband liked it alot. I prefer using ground turkey for meat loaf, but my husband thinks I use turkey and chicken too much.

Thanks for the good recipe, MRoe.

Hi mounty! Greetings to you.

MRoe,

Amazing to read your recipe it is almost like my mom's only she adds a banana to it, oatmeal and no celery seed.

I've taken to make changes each time I make meatloaf. Thankfully, they have improved with my experiments... the first substitutions didn't taste so good. Like a pear instead of a banana - not good at all. And then in my "health kick" I added a bag of frozen (cooked) mixed veggies - yuck. So now I do half beef and half turkey or around about that amount. And instead of Heinz ket. often I use barbeque sauce. And for cracker crumbs I use oat meal or older bread cut up small if I don't have crackers around at the time.

I also like to double my recipe or by 4 then I cook all of them, let them cool and freeze the ones we don't use. They work great for a meal in a pinch or if I need to take food to someone sick, new parents and so on. The nice thing is that we've already tasted a loaf - so no worries if the frozen one tastes bad. :wink:

A funny thing though... careful how you label for the freezer - one batch that I made was my best ever and that's what I labeled them. I took one to a friend and didn't change the label, they got a chuckle from that label for awhile.

Enough of my ramblings - have a great night.

Blessings,
Truedawn
