For the past few months, I have been craving meatloaf. I know, how random! The last time I made meatloaf was close to 2 years ago, if not more (that’s when my stove died…don’t ask, long story).
Best Meatloaf Recipe
After spending a few minutes (hours) on Pinterest, I deceived to wing it. For those of you that are not as gifted in the kitchen as myself *giggles*, I have two recipes that I liked best. I went with a mix of these two here and here
Don’t eat meat? *gasp*, here’s a vegan style meatloaf (see, I love you all equally).
What you will need:
3 lbs ground beef
2 eggs
3 slice of bread (soaked in some milk)
1 small onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
2 eggs
3 slice of bread (soaked in some milk)
1 small onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
2 scallions (optional)
1 cup of milk
bread crumbs (eyeballed it… so about 1 tablespoon?)
some butter to saute the veggies
A few slices of bacon (because I love bacon)
For the glaze:
1 cup of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of Cayenne pepper
2 tablespoon of honey
1 cup of ketchup (don’t tell Tristan, if he knew I added ketchup he would freak!!)
Pre-heat oven at 350F and cook for 1 hour. **20 minutes before cooking is done, I added some glaze.
Serve and Bon Appetit!
I had fun cooking with my little helper (even if he did insist on having dubstep playing in the background…)
He is soo serious lol
My very own food processorDo you have a favorite meal that you like to cook? Love hearing from you guys!
Don’t forget to subscribe for more recipes with the little man!
Little helpers are the BEST! and cutest! I haven’t made meat loaf in so long – I totally need to try your recipe.
It’s definitely worth the try Elise. Thank you for stopping by =)
Always great when you’re children get to help. It’s been years since I made a meatloaf although I had a recipe I loved. Tasted even better the following day!
We had too much meat so we save some to make little meatloaf cupcakes!
I have never seen a meat loaf with a glaze like that before. It sounds absolutely amazing! I think I might actually eat some meatloaf.
Amber, the glaze was AMAZING! Give it a try next time you make meatloaf =)
our favorite meal to cook is breakfast for dinner
Lol my sister would have breakfast food for all her meals if she had her way!
One day, some lucky lady is going to thank you for teaching your little helper to cook. Thanks for the recipe. I don’t have a good recipe for meatloaf.
That’s how we are at our kitchen as well. I always encourage my kids to help. Thank you for sharing the recipe, I haven’t had any meatloaf for a long time so I might make this soon.
I love having my kids in the kitchen with me. They get to help with the prep work. 🙂
I love meatloaf. And I love the leftovers too, so its win/win! Looks like a good one!
Looks yummy Marielle! Great helper too
Your son is so cute! What a perfect little helper for mama and what a perfect meatloaf recepy also. Thank you for sharing.
Last time I made meatloaf it didn’t taste the best. My grandmother use to make meatloaf and she also used bellpepper and onion, but I don’t have her recipe. I will have to try making your recipe.
Meatloaf is such a feel good food for me. I don’t make it a whole heck of a lot, but I savor it when I do!
Meatloaf is a favorite in my house, but I have never made it with a pepper, diced
carrots, or scallions before. I bet that IS awesome 🙂
Damn – that looks yummy – I just needed to try this one for tomorrow!
Love involving kids in cookie – they learn skills they can use forever and are not afraid to try things – it gives them the “buy in” to try because they “made it”!!
I haven’t had meatloaf in many years… Maybe it is time to give it a try again..
This sounds delicious! I will have to make it for my family soon as we can’t get enough meat!
I love meatloaf!! Thanks for sharing your recipe! I will have to give it a try!
My kids used to love helping cook, I am sure the meatloaf is great but I do not eat meat:). may have to try it for my husband sometime though, have not made meatloaf in 20 years or more (LOL) Thanks for sharing
Dub Step makes all cooking better, or so my daughter says. 😉
So great that your little kiddo is so helpful in the kitchen. Thanks for including a vegan option for those that don’t eat meat – you do love all equally 🙂
I had meatloaf for the first time in about 10 years last week! It was so yummy! I miss the home cooking that my mom used to make.. so, I can understand your random craving. Your little is so cute! Great helper!
I don’t think we have meatloaf over here … sounds like proper comfort food though 😀 xxx
Denise, if you look at the ingredient list, it is very easy to make. if you ever get a craving for it you should give it a try! =)
I’ve never made a meatloaf and I’ve never had own either! Is that crazy?? After seeing this post, I feel like making one with my family too. 🙂
*gasp* That is crazy lol You should try it at least once so that you can get it out of your system lol
I love meatloaf and make a really simple recipe but it is delicious! Thanks for sharing.
I’ve always loved meatloaf and have fond memories of my mother making it when we were kids. This is a great recipe.
Thank you for sharing. That’s a great dish on a cold night.
I’ve never heard or had a meatloaf with a glaze…very different spin!
Not much of a cook hear, but this sounds really good and easy. I remember hiding ketchup in recipes too!
I’m in the UK and I’ve never had meatloaf! In fact, I never really knew what was in it so this has been a real education for me. I might even give it a go – I think the kids especially will like it.
Thank you! I’m always up for a good meatloaf recipe – I can’t quite get to one that my husband LOVES, so I’ll try this one!
