What's everyone saying?
After reading the comments about quantities of certain ingredients, I prepared this recipe with these changes - 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar, 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder, 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder. Both my wife and I enjoyed it, and she is not a great meat eater. Give it a try!
The 1 Tablespoon of garlic powder called for in this recipe equals 24 cloves! Look it up! This recipe was so aromatic even the neighbors were not attacked by vampires the night I made it. If you must make this also too sweet recipe, may I suggest stirring in a teaspoon of ground Antacid, as both I and the spouse needed it. I very much hate to be negative, but felt it necessary, as I'd want to be warned myself.Dietitian comment: Grandpa Joe must love garlic! We have added a helpful hint to adjust the garlic and onion powder if you do not like these strong flavors.
for me meat loaf is half ground fresh chuck half lean ground pork a quarter pound shreaded carrots a large ground onion half cup oat meal 2 large eggs blend make up in single servings in cup cake tins. extras can be frozen for later use for snacks or as a meat ball sandwich.
Neither my husband nor I cared for this. It was too sweet, and didn't have a lot of flavor. IF I ever make this again, I will use actual onions and garlic, and add some bell peppers or something and greatly reduce or totally eliminate the brown sugar. Not a fan of sweet meatloaf. :(
sounds good
