Amish Meatloaf


Ingredients





Meatloaf





2 lbs ground beef


2 1/2 cups crushed Ritz cracker


1 medium onion, chopped


2 eggs


2 slices bacon


3/4 cup ketchup


1/4 cup brown sugar





Sauce





1 cup ketchup


2 tablespoons white vinegar


3/4 teaspoon salt


2 tablespoons yellow mustard


1/2 cup brown sugar





Directions





Preheat oven to 350.


Mix all meatloaf ingredients, except bacon.


Press into loaf pan and top with bacon.


Bake for 1 hour.


Mix sauce and spread over top during last 15 minutes of baking.
You might also try shaping into patties and breading and frying like country fried steaks. It's very easy and tastes very close to steak.





I make hominy casserole differently : ground beef, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and hominy (drained). Top with shredded cheddar cheese and bake until warmed and cheese is melted.
Try this hamburger!! Add stove top stuffing to meat. It give you a great tasting burger. You can also add brown gravy and have it like small meatloaf.

Sloppy Joe sandwiches


Shepard's Pie
Texas Hash


(for 5-quart crock pot)





-3 pounds ground beef


-3 medium onions, chopped


-3 green or red bell peppers, chopped (if you don't have peppers and like it spicy, put in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper instead...you can add some cayenne to spice it up even if you use the bell peppers)

1. Brown beef in a skillet and drain off the fat.


2. Put all the ingredients in the crockpot.


3. Stir thoroughly.


4. Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours. (or High: 4 hours)


*Note: I fix it through step 3 the night before and put the crock pot in the refrigerator. The next morning I take it out 15 minutes before you want to turn it on. I always use the Low setting as this does better.

Barbecued Spoonburgers


-3 pounds ground beef

-2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce


-1 cup ketchup


-1-1/2 teaspoons salt


-1/2 teaspoon paprika


-1/4 teaspoon black pepper


-1 6-ounce can tomato paste (I sometimes use a 12-ounce can)

Shepherd's Pie (my family's version)


Meat filling:


-2 pounds lean ground beef


-flour to thicken


-Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste (for the meat)


-Cayenne pepper, to taste - optional (only use if you like things spicy)


-MSG, to taste - optional (brings out the flavor, but some people are allergic to it)


-1 can (14-1/2 ounce) beef broth


-roux of 2 tablespoons flour mixed with 1-2 tablespoons water added to thicken again, optional


Mashed Potatoes:


-9 medium to large Russet potatoes


-1 stick butter (1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons)


-1/2 to 1 cup milk (depends on your consistency preference)


-Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Together:


-American cheese or a combination of American and Provolone or American and Mozzarella (your preference, I prefer American)





To make the meat mixture:


1. Brown the beef in a large pan on low, using a spoon to ';cut'; the beef into chunks. Turn meat until there is no red left.


2. Salt and pepper the meat. Add the cayenne and MSG if you wish.


3. Sprinkle some flour into the meat and stir rapidly so the juice is soaked up.


4. Pour in the beef broth in a slow stream, stirring while you do.


5. If the mixture looks too liquidy, make the roux and slowly pour into the meat.


6. Optional step: put the meat mixture in a crock pot for 4 to 6 hours on Low to break up any remaining fat. I always do this step because I don't like the ';pieces'; you sometimes find in ground meat. I start the potatoes about 30-45 minutes before the meat is done.





To make the mashed potatoes:


1. Peel and cube the potatoes, trying to make the cubes even-sized. (If you peel all the potatoes first, and then cube them the potatoes won't be sitting around and getting brown.)


2. Put the potatoes in a 3-quart pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon salt to the water and stir. (The salt is essential. Otherwise the potatoes will be flavorless no matter what you do after.)


*at this point, take the butter out of the refrigerator and cut into pieces %26amp; allow to soften


3. Put the pan on High until it boils, then lower the temperature so the water is at a simmer.


4. Cook until the potatoes are soft when stuck with a fork.


5. Drain potatoes well.


6. Put the milk in another pan on the stove and warm it. Don't scald it.


6. Add the butter to the potatoes and mash well. Salt and pepper to taste.


7. Add the warm milk and mash some more. The potatoes should be well mashed and mixed, but not gluey.





Put it together:


1. Put about 1/2 of the mashed potatoes on the bottom of a 4-1/2 quart round casserole dish (size is approximate).


2. Top the potatoes with a single layer of American cheese.


3. Add the entire amount of meat mixture to the top.


4. Top the meat with the remaining mashed potatoes.


5. Top the potatoes with a singler layer of cheese.


6. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is thoroughly melted but not brown.

This was something I came up with (experimental) to use hamburger in another way.


Cooking for 2 and don’t want a lot of left-overs….even though I had some….put in freezer for another meal later.





Getting tired of burgers....meatloaf....chili.....etc....…


something my husband might like. (which he did)....with ingredients I


had on hand. Could propably serve with sour cream and/or salsa.





Thought about using Taco Seasoning %26amp; salsa....but didn't think he


would like it as well. (Next time, maybe.)





This would probably fit in a pie pan. I used a foil cake pan (bought


at Dollar Tree...(almost an 8” square pan)…throw away when empty....easy clean-up).

';Corny Beanie Weenies.';


(from a country preacher in Mississippi…wife %26amp; 2 teenage sons)





Mix one can of good baked beans


We use a good sized can of beans (14-16 ounces, I think) and


get a kind that we like (maybe with brown sugar, onion, and bacon).


There are several kinds of good baked beans.





and a package of Oscar Meier Weiners (all sliced up).





with a can of whole kernel corn (drained)





Any way, heat up these three ingredients, and serve with brown bread


(maybe toasted ?) and a glass of milk.





It doesn't get any easier than this, and is suprisingly good!





Pattsywattsy notes:


1.)Might put ingredients in a casserole dish and top with corn muffin mix.


2.)Use a pound of cooked gr. beef or gr. turkey or cooked Jimmy Dean w/sage sausage or some smoked sausage.
