Micah Madison’s Meatloaf! mmmmmmmmmmmmmm……I heart meatloaf; although for the most part I prefer my mother’s. Meatloaf in restaurants tend to not be so tasty to me. I like a fairly plain version- with a bit of sweet and tang. Many moons ago I worked in Iowa and a co-worker brought in her meatloaf. It was so tasty I asked for the recipe. The first time I went to make it I thought it was a bit sweeter than I remembered and maybe even tastier. The next time I went to make it I realized my mistake. I had inadvertently switched out the evaporated milk with condensed milk. Sweetened condensed milk. Yes folks, I had made meat candy.  I couldn’t knowingly go back to the condensed milk, but I really did like the sweetness- so I revised the recipe and added in some brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Problem solved- sweet and respectable! Wanna try?

MIX:

1.5 lb hamburger

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

2 sleeves Ritz crackers- crushed

2 eggs beaten

1 can evaporated milk

1 med onion diced

salt & pepper to taste

Bake 45 minutes @ 350 degrees. Add Topping:

Mix 1 Tbsp white vinegar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup diced onion, 2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce

Bake 15 minutes more
