Meat Loaf

If you have a FAVORITE meat loaf recipe, I am sure that it will freeze well.  I used this one and added a little of tomato paste.  I put mine into 4 small, aluminum, loaf pans.  I cooked 2 loafs at a time (for some reason, they really shrunk during cooking), plus my family members are not big dinner eaters.  It still did leave plenty for a leftover meal for lunch!  Good luck and let me know how your OAMC (once a month cooking) is going!


Freezer Meat Loaf Recipe

3 pounds ground beef


1/2 cup dry bread crumbs


3-1/2 cups milk


1 cup minced onion
  

2 eggs


2 tablespoons salt


2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce


1/4 tsp ground pepper

Combine all ingredients. Divide into two foil loaf pans (9"x5"x3"). Wrap, label and freeze.

On cooking day:
Remove from freezer and unwrap 2 1/2 hours before cooking. Preheat oven to 350F, cooking for 2-1/2 hours. Shorten cooking time by removing from freezer in the morning, checking for doneness after one hour of cooking.


MINE DID NOT TAKE 2 1/2 HOURS OF COOKING SO KEEP AN EYE ON IT!
