Why Does My Meatloaf Fall Apart Food

MOMMA'S MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan.
• In a large mixing bowl, knead together the ground beef, onion, bread crumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, basil, oregano, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
• Shape the meat into a loaf and put it into the prepared pan. Bake in the 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.
• Mix up the glaze in a small bowl by whisking together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Brush it over the hot meatloaf.
• Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees and bake an additional 15 minutes, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.

MEATLOAF THAT DOESN'T CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a food processor or blender, combine the bell pepper, onion and celery. Process until finely chopped, but not liquid. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the ground beef, ground pork, cracker crumbs, onion soup mix, salt, pepper, sage and milk. Mix well using your hands, or if you have a stand mixer, mix using the paddle attachment. Transfer to a 9x5 inch loaf pan and form into a loaf, mounding in the center. Cover with a generous layer of ketchup.
• Bake for 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven. Serve hot. Refrigerate leftovers, slice and serve cold in sandwiches.
