Traditional Meatloaf







I go to a meat shop in Langley, BC where I go to buy a lot of meat, mostly beef and some pork.  They always have a discounted ground beef pack of 10 lbs.  So once a month ground beef becomes meatloaf, mexican chili, spaghetti meat sauce and sometimes hamburger.

Here's my recipe for my meatloaf.

 Ingredients:                     
1 kg. ground beef (or 1/2 kg pork  and 1/2 kg beef)
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp worcestershire sauce (optional, if you don't have it, skip it)
4 slices bread
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 large carrot
2 stalk celery
1 large onion
3 tbsp corn oil
1/2 cup ketchup

Cooking Instructions:
1.  In a frying pan, saute onion, carrot and celery in corn oil until soft and onion translucent.  Set aside.
2.  In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs, add milk and soak bread, mix until bread are mushy
3.  In the same bowl, add ground beef, salt, pepper and worcestershire sauce
4.  Add sauted vegetables to the bowl and mix well.  You can use your clean hands to mix.
5.  In a rectangular pyrex covered with foil, transfer the mixture and shape it with your hands to form a  rectangular loaf  
6.  Pour ketchup on top of the beef , spread evenly
7.  Bake in preheated oven, 350 degrees Farenheit, 50 minutes to 1 hour
8.  Remove from oven, check if cooked through by inserting a table knife in the center of 
the meatloaf.  If the knife came out not wet, it's cooked.  If you have a cooking thermometer, inside temp should be 160 degrees F.
