I was on Pinterest the other night and pinned a meatloaf recipe from Campbells Soup — Onion-Crusted Meatloaf with Roasted Potatoes. I made it last night for dinner. OMG. Best meatloaf I have ever made or eaten. Period.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds of ground meat (your choice)
1 can of tomato soup
1 beaten egg
1 TBL Worcestershire Sauce
One can of French-Fried Onion Rings
6 small potatoes
I took liberties with the recipe and used Trader Joe’s Organic Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper soup and their version of French-Fried Onion Rings. And I also used small red, purple and white potatoes.
You mix the meat with 1/2 cup of soup, egg, Worcestershire Sauce, and 1/2 can of the onions. Shape into a loaf in a greased pan. I cut up the potatoes in even quarters and placed them around the meatloaf. Pour 1/2 cup of soup on top of the meatloaf. Bake for 1 hour at 400 degrees.
About three minutes before it’s done baking, sprinkle more onions on the meatloaf and return to the oven for another 3-5 minutes. Be sure to watch it because the onions can burn.
Miss Bee hates meatloaf, more the word “loaf” I think. So, Mr. Bee told her it was Beef and Onion Melange (melange is a French word for mixture). She bought it until she saw it in the oven. But, she admitted it was pretty good and she ate her entire portion. So, I think we have a winner.
