My mom made a different meat loaf every week, when I was growing up, to find the one recipe are family would eat. After being subjected to this for years I came up with this recipe that has never failed to get rave reviews. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter |
1 onion, chopped |
1 small green bell pepper, chopped |
3 cloves garlic, minced |
1 pound lean ground beef |
15 saltine crackers, crushed |
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese |
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix |
Directions:
1. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, and green pepper and saute until onions are soft.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. In a large mixing bowl, place ground beef, crushed crackers, Cheddar cheese, taco seasoning, and sauteed onion and green pepper. Mix thoroughly.
4. Press beef mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake in a preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes or until done. Check with a meat thermometer for doneness. Internal temperature should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
