"Elvis' Special Recipe Cheeseburger Meatloaf"
... Rumour has it that this was Elvis Presley's personal favorite meatloaf. I can't attest to that...but it is good.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 tsp house seasoning (see recipe below)
1 medium onion (chopped)
1 medium bell pepper (chopped)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup crushed ritz crackers
1 tsp lawry's seasoned salt
2 slices white bread
house seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. makes 1 1/2 cups.
pre-heat oven to 350F.
mix all ingredients together, except bread slices. shape into loaf. line a 1 1/2 quart loaf pan with the bread slices. place meatloaf on top (bread soaks up grease, and should be thrown away after meatloaf is done)
note
instead of actually watching the oven time, i just use a meat thermometer intermittently until the center of the loaf reaches about 160F.
special cheese sauce for meatloaf (optional):
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar
chopped onions, optional
1 bunch fresh parsley leaves, chopped, optional
heat the soup and milk over medium heat; add the cheese. Add the chopped onions and parsley to the sauce, if desired. Pour Sauce over the meatloaf or pass at the table.
enjoy !
