 cookbook, tomato sauce meatloaf. You're gonna start out with two pounds of ground chuck. You're gonna add one medium onion chopped, two eggs. Use an 8 ounce can of tomato sauce. This is double that pretty much, so I'll use half the can. Quite go down in there, so I'll use the eighth cup. But you're gonna use a quarter cup of brown gravy mix. So I'll put two of these in there because this is an eighth. I just used an acorn meat, brown gravy mix y'all. I get it in a big thing, Sam's Club, or you can get it at Walmart, big too. All right, so we got in our chuck, we got in our onion, we got in our tomato sauce. We gotta put a little Worcestershire in it, Worcestershire. How many are you saying? I'll say that every time. A few shakes, I say about five. Those were big shakes. So you're supposed to put in a half of a bell pepper diced. I bite when it's home sale and I try to get the colored ones because they taste better to me. And so I'm gonna sprinkle about what I think would be about a half of a bell pepper in there. Doesn't take a whole lot of colored pepper to really rev up the flavor. So if you don't have a whole lot, it don't take a whole lot, okay? Now, the last thing I put in here is a little bit of stuff and mix. I do that because Chris does not like oatmeal in his meatloaf because it will make it a little bit slimy tasting. I tell you to use a six ounces of it, which is about half a bag. So this is a 12 ounce bag and this has already been opened and I've used a little bit of it in something. So I'm just gonna throw some in, see if I'm about right. And when I put up everything I use, if it's a bag, I fold it over real tight like that. And I use rubber bands for everything. My nuts, my raisins, my rice, anything that I'm not putting in a container. I wrap like that. It's easy, y'all. All right, we're gonna mix this up with our hands and we're gonna place it in a meatloaf pan. This is a meatloaf pan. It is a nonstick. It has a grate down on the bottom so that the oil from your ground beef gets caught in the bottom. And when you pick up your meatloaf, you can actually pick it up and put it on a plate and slice it and it won't be sitting in all that oil, okay? So we are going to, I'm hoping it's gonna fit in this meatloaf pan. We're gonna bake this at 400 degrees. Right now my oven's at 350 so I'm gonna go ahead and turn it up and it'll start preheating a little bit more for me. I'm also going to spray this. I'm gonna go ahead and do that before I get my hand in my beef. And I just have some Crisco Cookie Spray. And I'm just, even if this is nonstick, I'm just gonna make it so that it just slides right out of the pan. Real easy. All right, so we're gonna mix it up, y'all. It's a lot easier to use your hands to mix up something like this. I'm loving this bowl. I will look it up and make sure it is on my cookware. I'm gonna put it on the cookware page for y'all. I just got it in from a friend, from a viewer. She said, she wanted to send me something and boy, do I love it. I am gonna start using it for a lot of stuff. Because it sure doesn't make it handy. And it's so easy to clean up because it's stainless steel. It's so big you can wash dishes in it. Yes, I can throw it in the sink because I got a form sink over there. And I can run water in it and wash my dishes in it. I'm always flipping something out of the bowl. Even if it's a big one. I'm just wild in the kitchen. But you're gonna wanna make sure you get it good and mixed. Don't half mix it because it's got egg, it's got that brown gravy in it. And you wanna get it dispersed through the meat. Your meat should not be, it should be cold. Whenever you do any kind of sausage or meatballs or meatloaf or you're gonna make patties to fry, you want your ground beef to be cold. If it's at room temperature, it gets mushy and it changes the texture of your meat. So let's get this in our meatloaf pan. This is a very large meatloaf recipe. I don't know that I'm gonna make it all in this pan today. I may freeze some of it. You can freeze your meatloaf. Really close. I'm gonna save a couple out for me and Chris just to fry for hamburgers. I think it'd be good. Right, there we go. We're gonna bake this. Let's see what the directions say. Says, put it in a baking dish, bake it at 400 for 40 minutes. Take it out of the oven, drain off the grease, top with ketchup. And then you're gonna bake it another 20 minutes after you put your ketchup on it. So it's gonna bake a total of an hour, first for 40 minutes, pull it out, cover it in ketchup, bake it 20 more minutes. So we're gonna get it over here and get it in this oven using my clean hand, especially if you fill it up like that because if you don't, your grease is gonna run out the top, okay? Chups not gonna have as much oil in it to do that. So if you're using just plain ground beef, make sure you put it in a bigger pan, a good bit bigger pan. We just got the meatloaf out of the oven. We're gonna top it with some ketchup and we're gonna put it back in the oven for 20 minutes. Don't it look good already? It looks good. Love meatloaf sandwiches. Put plenty on it, y'all. Then get it back in there. And remember, these are not handles. You can't pick it up with them unless you wanna take your whole meatloaf out of the pan. So be careful when you're picking it up. Don't drop it on the floor. We're gonna put this back in here. Can almost start some potatoes. 20 minutes. Time to get it out of the oven. We're making some taters. Made a depression cake, that'll be another video. Anyway, we do make the meatloaf that's not my mama's and I actually mix up the brown sugar and stuff for the topping. But now Chris's mother and lots of times my mama just squirted ketchup on the top and that's what we do with this recipe. All right, nothing wrong with it. As long as you bake it for 20 minutes, it makes it really good. You will see the grease in the bottom. This was chuck, so there are hardly any grease in the bottom. And you can actually just typically, well, let me loosen it up. Last time I made one, it just come right out. I'm just gonna, don't scratch the side, just barely loosen it. Dang. This will look impressive on the table if you've got company. Let's slice and see how it looks. I broke it. The outside got real toasty because I bake it at 400 degrees. What do you think, Chris? You wanna eat it? Yes. Of course I'll eat it. Okay, I got a question to ask you. God has been such an extrovert, but there's a thing. What did you say? I'm like, for heaven's sakes, can't you just check me on the phone? Mm-hmm. Mm-mm.
