I made a HUGE loaf with 3 pounds of beef and pork. My husband had sandwiches for a week and then I tossed the remaining loaf into a tomato sauce for pasta.
Check out what my pals over at Gardenweb had to say about this recipe:
I put the meat into a large bowl, then the egg on top and beat it with a fork, then sprinkle all the dried seasonings on top. Then I do 4-5 slices of bread in the food processor and then empty the container on top of the meat. Then I chop the onion and pepper in the processor and dump on top of the meat. Then I put 3 celery stalks and 1 large carrot in the processor and process fine and dump it on top of the meat. Then I add the soup and mix it all up with my hands. I don’t use my knife for this meatloaf!
Thank you for the additional tips!
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups soft bread crumbs – (tear up soft sliced bread – don’t use fine crumbs as for breading)
1 1/2 lb ground meat (beef or pork & beef) (about 700 grams)
1 beaten Eggland’s Best egg
1 onion chopped fine
1/4 teasp dry Colman’s (or similar) mustard
1/8 teasp ground sage
1/2 teasp McCormick ground thyme
1 1/2 teasp Morton salt
1/4 teas pepper
1/8 teasp nutmeg
1 chopped green pepper
1 tin condensed tomato soup (eg Campbells’s)
3/4 cup grated celery
3/4 cup grated carrot
Instructions
1) Mix meat with egg, add onion and seasonings and bread crumbs, greens and carrots
2) Add half the tin of soup and mix everything well. Turn into greased loaf pan or glass casserole dish 8.5 x 11 inches and pour remaining soup over the top, smoothing it evenly over all.
3) Bake 350 F (177 C) for 1 1/4 hours.
Mustard pickles also goes well and this makes wonderful cold sandwiches next day !

My Notes:
1) I use ‘tomate frito’ instead of the condensed soup. It’s a rich fried Spanish tomato purée but otherwise condensed soup is good. Never use ketchup !
2) I usually double the amount of the ground spices with the exception of salt.

Quick Tip: Sprinkle individual slices of this meatloaf with Parmesan cheese for an extra kick of yumminess!

What is tomatoe frito? Thanks
At the end of the recipe you said you usually double the amount of ground spices. Is that because of the.3 lbs of ground meat you use, or can it be doubled just with the 1-1/2 lbs of meat the way the recipe is written?
If you use a tine of condensed tomatoe soup would that be 10 3/4 oz? If you use tomate frito what size would that be? Where would you buy? Is it a speciality item?

Where in the world do you buy mustard pickles (I haven’t tasted one since I was a child). My mother pickled them herself but I never had or could find the recipe.
I have a great recipe for mustard pickles, and you can usually buy them at the grocery store
I would love the mustard pickle recipe. My Mom made them in a crockpot when I was a kid and I can’t find the recipe. I crave them!! Please email me. If you were able to retrieve the meatloaf recipe, could you please email that, too. WITH APPRECIATION!

I did two times. Please read above and below.
I would like to make the meatloaf recipe, but I’m having trouble finding any Morotn salt.
I think it was supposed to be Morton’s salt.
I think she meant Morton salt
MORTON salt. Typo
That’s just plain table salt. MORTON IS the blue box with the girl spilling salt
You don’t need to use the brands they specify. Whatever you use is fine.
They’re just advertising for these brands!!
It really confuses people! They need to know that generic brands work just the same.
Recipe calls for 1 & a half lbs of meat soy say in your comments 3lbs,ann
Recipe calls for 1 & a half lbs of meat you say in your comments 3lbs
Recipe calls for 1 & a half lbs. of meat but you say you used 3 lbs. please clarify.
how do u copy these recipes?
Hi-light with your browser and then click “Copy”–Then click open “Wordpad” or equivalent site in your “Documents “and click “Paste”–Your recipe then should be in your computer where you can store it or print it off–
Go to Bookmarks and click on Book mark this page. I find this the easiest way as I am not computer savvy.
Sorry, but my meatloaf is the best in the world!
May I Try your recipe? Thanks Happy Easter.
I want your recipe!
What is the recipe for pork tenderloin w/dry onion soup again?
This looks great but am a little confused on how much meat this uses. It states that you made a HUGE loaf with 3 lbs of beef and pork but the recipe calls for 1-1/2 lb ground meat (beef or pork & beef). Is this 1-1/2 lb each if you buy pork & beef or is the total meat used 1-1/2 lbs?
any body on this planet that know me y’all know I love me some meatloaf. don’t get it twisted don’t put to many bread crumbs in it. “THAT AIN’T RIGHT’ so get a clue ‘just do the damn thing right. FROM ONE MEATLOAF LOVER TO ANOTHER’.
Is the morton salt kosher or table salt as makes a big difference especially with the canned soup?? Thanks
Why do you “never use ketchup”?
I used to make mine with tomato soup, but recently started using a small can of pizza sauce. Hubby LOVES it and asks for meatloaf every week.
If I want to use both meats, would I use:
1-1/2 lbs Beef AND
1-1/2 lbs Pork?
I’m excited to try this. I can never make a good meatloaf.
You can buy a meatloaf mix which has beef, pork and veal. The combo of these three would come in 1 1/2 pack
That’s what I buy and the veal makes a difference!
EWW, Canned soup!
and if you look really closely at the Campbell’ s tomato soup you will see that it is “halal”, not sure how that feat is accomplished but they pay big bucks to put that on their labels, just sayin’
Has anyone ever used meatloaf to put “hidden veggies” in so kids don’t know they are eating them? Try some grated zucchini (green and yellow), some well drained frozen squash and I use Bar-B-Que sauce instead of tomato sauce or tomato soup. It’s really good and kids (or husbands) never know the veggies are hidden inside.
I hide zucchini in my spaghetti all the time. I also grate carrots and celery. I also add a shake or two of l mon pepper.
Me, too. Kids don’t suspect a thing 🙂
Can I replace the bread with oatmeal. I do not eat bread.
Do you cover the meatloaf?
Everything about that sounds good except pouring tomato soup over the top. Makes it way too acidic. If you want a savory flavor, use Kitchen Bouquet instead. Gives it a crust.
Ilove seeing different recipes for cro k pot and the other I would love to see more of low carbs
I love to cook but we need more low carb receipes for during the week so we can eat the delicious fattening stuff on weekends
.
Have never seen tomate frito in the stores.
Delicious! Doubled the recipie and made meatballs too.
Unless you have a draining meatloaf pan, use Paula Deen’s ol’ trick of putting slices of bread in the bottom of the pan to absorb the grease from cooking.
or just buy 90/10
Going to try this one out. Sounds simple & yummy.
This sound good. But where are you supposed to put the celery? I’m thinking you mix with the seasoning and bread crumbs.
A meat loaf without garlic or basil?
I AM GOING TO TRY THIS. IT LOOKS DELICIOUS.
We don’t like tomato soup in cooking, we use something else.
It was okay, not the best by any means.
Where do you get morotn salt?
It’s a typo…Morton’s salt. It is just regular table salt.
To make your meatloaf even better, slow cook it on a smoker grill in your regular meatloaf pan. Keep heat at about 250 for at least two hours or until the loaf starts the get a crust on top. Make a topping with honey, molasses and catsup. This will make any meatloaf recipe even better. I use a 22″ Weber Grill with a Smokenater attachment. A bit of Hickory and apple wood. There’s room on the grill to cook another tasty treat at the same time.
Bet you I could bet this recipe in taste!!!
I do one similar but I use 1/3 ground beef, 1/3 ground turkey and 1/3 ground pork. I don’t use dry mustard but I do use 1/3 cup of v-8.
The recipe calls for 1 an 1/2 lbs. of beef or pork. If you make a 3# loaf, due you double all of the other ingredients?
Thanks!!
You had me until the can of tomato soup. Ugh.
Lol…… you got that right!!!!
You need the liquid to blend the rest of the ingredients… Its more flavorful than water!
Just use your own homemade tomato sauce.
I use cinnamon instead of nutmeg, and I don’t use carrots in mine. The rest is like mine. It is a good recipe..
Sounds great, but I wish I could print the recipe without all the ads in the printed version. Big waste of ink and paper, so I write them out by hand or go to another website with a similar recipe. I am not about to print out three pages of ads to get a recipe.
Copy and paste in to a document. Then you can print ot off without ads!
Copy & paste into word what you want.
This was absolutely to die for. I’m adding it to m y cookbook that I am putting together to give my grandkids for Christmas. Thanks so much and keep me in the loop. [email protected] Thanks so much.
We did not care for this. Really had hopes for it too. Didn’t stay together… More like sloppy joes in parts of the loaf. Followed the instructions as given. … Packed it in the loaf pan. Also difficult to grate the celery…stringy. But thanks for the post
It was just alright. Don’t think I’ll make it again.
I add 1/4 cup of grated parmasean and green olives.
Not a fan. It was okay, had better.
I made this yesterday with ground turkey and it was delicious. I made it just like the recipe said otherwise and I can’t wait to have it for lunch I bet it will be even better.
PLEASE MAY I HAVE THAT MEATLOAF THAT IS CALLED THE BEST I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE IT A TRY
THANK YOU FOR READING THIS.
Wanna kick it up a notch? Two things, use bison instead of beef (yeah it’s more expensive) and coarse chop some cashews and add them, yum!
Please send your meatloaf recipe.
I would love to try it.
Would love to have the recipe.
There’s lots of meat loaf’s I make my own.
I made your meat loaf recipe and my husband and i like it. Thank you for this recipe.
Since you specify the brands for everything, I was wondering what brand of celery and carrots you recommend? Just kidding, of course, going to try this soon.
Garden fresh or farmer’s market. LOL Great to see someone with a sense of humor! Have a great day, Jay 🙂
If a person does not like sage or a certain spice why in heavens name would they put in what the recipe calls for….just to see what it tastes like? Just to complain they didn’t like it? Or to see maybe if putting something in it they don’t care for will somehow magically change their mind and their tastebuds to liking it?
It seems like if some I e doesn’t like something in a recipe……don’t add it.
Pure…simple….methodical….common sense.
I’m giving you a slow clap right now, Sylvia. Well, said 🙂
Please send me the recipe

Can’t wait to try it. Aundra akrisell
Here’s a tip: For those who grind their own pork (Boston Butt is optimal) for meatloaf (or meatballs) this is the time to add your bread. Bread is a great way to clean your grinder out (you still have to wash it in hot water) and take all the meat pieces out of the tubes and crevices. You also get smooth bread instead of ‘pieces’. That can be yucky. We also grind all our veggies. We’re fanatical about smooth meatloaf. We want zero crunchy anything in it.
I’ve been using Campbell’s Tomato soup for years in meatloaf and no way I would ever stop. The only ingredient that isn’t listed here that I won’t omit is Worcestershire sauce. I also use tomato paste to ‘crust’ over the top of my meatloaf unless we want meatloaf gravy and I leave it as is. You get more juice volume for gravy when left uncovered.
I’ve tried this recipe twice and it’s delicious but won’t hold together. The second time I added another egg and more bread crumbs. It didn’t help. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Sounds good am my favorite meal is meat loaf

Meatloaf recipe
I tried this recipe today. It was good… not the best I’ve ever had…but definitely good. I oppted to mix beef and pork. I also bought Campbell’s soup since I couldn’t find the Spanish option the author stated she used. I definitely prefer saltine crackers over bread (too mushy). I would also add more of the seasonings I usually use. I also think it makes a big difference if you mix your meat and add the seasonings the day before and let it sit overnight in the fridge! Then add your egg and whatnot… 🙂
Food for thought People, this person does not have time to send each of you a recipe this is why it is posted to share. Copy and paste it and email it to yourself .. or copy and paste and make a file on your computer … or screen shot the recipe and put a picture of it in paint and for any of you that can’t do any of these things … grab a pen and paper and write it down like the olden days lol
please e-mail me the best meat loaf recipe thanks
