But seriously, I have had two heart attacks and after the last one I decided to try a veggie burger.

I LOVE cheeseburgers.

So I am at a place called "The Habit" and I order a veggie burger

randy likes living on the edge. Back on topic- I don't have a recipe for meatloaf but I love meatloaf and really like cold meatloaf sandwiches. You're invited next time we have it.

I do live on the edge, you should see me when I get out of my vehicle in a parking lot while listening to one of my liberal shows like Michaelangelo Signorile or Mark Thompson or Thom Hartmann, I will continue the discussion, by myself, to myself, OUT LOUD and I will say the nastiest things about teapartiers.

One of these days one of the morons will hear me and many of my biggest fans around here, who go out of their way to silence me, will get their wish.

I will, however, NEVER shut up

1# ground beef (whichever fat/lean ratio you prefer)
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
6oz chopped crimini/baby bella mushrooms
1 cup dark beer (I use Guinness)
1 cup bread crumbs
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
*************
olive oil (for saute pan)
ketchup (for topping)

In saute pan, add a little olive oil, the chopped onion, garlic, and mushrooms until TENDER (you don't want to caramelize here, just get em a little soft). Remove from heat and drain. In large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. If it's too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs (but not too much), too dry, add more beer. Form into a loaf, and place into a pan (note, I don't like to use load pans, just like a small roasting pan with room on the sides, allows the meat to breath, and cooks a lot quicker). Spread ketchup on top (pro-tip: add a little mustard, worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper to the ketchup for a really nice flavor on top). Bake in preheated oven at 350* until done (about 30-45 minutes). Enjoy.

Served with gravy and mashed potatoes, and the leftovers were almost as good as hot or cold sandwiches.

This makes two, one to eat now, one to freeze. Makes really great cold sandwiches on whole wheat or rye bread.

2 lbs. ground beef, 80/20
1 medium onion, chopped
2 large stalks of celery, chopped or sliced
1 medium bell pepper, seeded and chopped (or equivalent: I like to mix colors)
2 large fresh tomatoes, chopped
1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
2 eggs
1 can "cream of--" soup, undiluted (Cream of chicken, mushroom, celery, asparagus. Personal fave is chicken with herbs.)
Salt and pepper to taste
A few splashes of Wostershire sauce, to taste

Put on a pair of disposable gloves and moosh it all together. You may use a spoon or spatula if you insist. Turn into two foil-lined standard loaf pans and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour.

If you can't grill it, don't make it. Too f'ing hot.

And how's the weather where you are?

Obama eating a meatball sub. Better than those GOP ralphing down those whatevers at fairs.


My standard meatloaf:

This is not measured. Cooks know what to do with portions.

Ground beef (and pork, too?)
Diced yellow onions
Sliced green zucchini
Diced tomatoes
Green chilis or ROTEL chilis
Bread enough to hold together
Egg or two
Lots of garlic powder
Fresh or dried parsley
Tomato sauce or pasta*
Lawry's Seasoned Pepper
Ketchup!


Mix it together and put in an oiled pan, be sure to use a cookie sheet covered with foil if it boils over. *Can cover the loaf with ketchup if you don't want to use tomato sauce or paste. Cook til done.

Or make hamburgers that can be frozen and fried or grilled later. They will be messy, so expect it. Cook until they are done.

P.S. I don't put salt in my food and even use unsalted butter.

Another one that can be made, but I usually make meatballs, thus the name:

Siclian Meatballs

2 pounds lean ground natural beef
1 pound french sourdough bread torn into pieces
8 ounces of dry grated parmesan cheese
20 cloves of fresh minced garlic
2 cups of water to disintegrate bread
1 cup fresh chopped parsley
4 cups of olive oil


Separate ground meat in a large bowl with your fingers or utensil.

In another bowl, shred the bread with your hands. Add water and squeeze to disintegrate. Mince garlic and chop parsley. When the bread disintegrates, mix into ground beef.

Add parsley and garlic and blend very well. Then add parmesan, which will absorb the water and blend very well.

Heat the oil and carefully spoon in meatballs. Use a screen while frying. It usually doesn't splatter because the water is absorbed, but it will bubble. Observe so they don't burn, cooking to a golden brown.

Lift out with skimming spoon to keep oil in the frying pan. Place on paper towels to absorb oil.

Do not simmer in sauce. Serve warm with meal, as a snack or freeze. I serve it with thin spaghetti, marinara sauce, sautéed onions and mushrooms, peas or spinach.

(That's it. Hope you won't find these too awful for your taste.)

Portabello mushrooms can be used to substitute for meat, but would not work with these.
