Mare's Most Delicious Meatloaf

Recipe #17199 | 2 hours | 20 min prep | add private note

By: mare
Jan 14, 2002

this meat loaf is sooooooo delicious...very moist, and with delicious gravy...It got raves in the Southern U S Cuisine..I promise it will be the only one you will ever make.. ok...just wait till you taste this..

SERVES 8 , 1 nice sized loaf (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground chuck or ground round
  • 6 slices fresh bread
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream
  • 2 eggs, beaten with the milk or cream
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons pepper

  • 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup

Directions

  1. 1
    put meat, bread (broken up in large pieces), both eggs beaten with the milk, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. 2
    in a large bowl.
  3. 3
    then mix about 1/2 the can of soup into meat mixture (if you are using 2 small cans mix 1 can into meat mixture).
  4. 4
    mix thoroughly with VERY clean hands.
  5. 5
    shape into a loaf (it will be soft, very mushy to be exact, a friend told me to say it is the consistancy of"tuna salad" or canned cat food") don't worry, it is a sort of flatter than most meat loafs.
  6. 6
    Mix about 1 cup of water with remaining soup (if you are using the large can) and pour over loaf (or mix 1 cup water with the other small can and pour over loaf).
  7. 7
    Bake at 375 degrees about 1 hour and 30 minutes (adding water periodically).
  8. 8
    if the gravy looks too light -- cook for another 30 minutes -- it will never be too dry -- but the gravy will have a little more flavor -- keep scrapping down the sides.
  9. 9
    It will be golden brown on top and you will have delicious gravy to use over rice or potatoes.
  10. 10
    It is the best meat loaf you will ever eat (it is VERY moist and so delicious).

Sorry, but unfortunately my family and I did not care for this meatloaf recipe. I don't know what went wrong since I followed the recipe exactly as was stated, but the end result was way too MUSHY and the meatloaf just fell apart. I am giving this recipe 3 stars since My daughter and I thought that the flavor was just alright. My husband and son did not like it at all. I thought that the cream of chicken soup would give the meatloaf a different twist, but I actually think that may have been what ruined this recipe for us. Sorry.

    Delicious. I have tried many meatloaf recipes and wasn't satisfied. I wholly agree this will be "my" standard meatloaf recipe from now on. My only change was that I added 1/2 tsp of nutmeg. Don't forget about the meatloaf sandwiches the next day. They were super as well.

    I made this for dinner tonight and it was very good. I did change a few things. I used 2 cans of soup, one cream of celery and the other cream of mushroom. I mixed half of the cream of celery in with the meat. I didn't use a loaf pan, I used a large casserole dish so I was able to mix the rest of the soup and pour it around the meatloaf. Doing this cut about 45 mins off the cook time. I cook my beef and pork to an internal temp of 160. Oh, and that is another thing that I changed. I used a pound of ground pork and a pound of ground beef. I will make this again for sure. Thanks for the great recipe!
