Sammy's Beef and Sausage Meatloaf

Submitted by Panhandle Sam

"I got the idea of using sausage in this from my hubby, and I built it from there. This makes an excelent, juicy, and very tasty meat loaf. Note: I mince my onions because I like the flavor, I just don't want to know they are there, but obviously you can chop them to your liking."

Used this recipe tonight and it came out fantastic! Made 1 small modification, instead of Jimmy Dean's sausage I used ground beef sausage and and instead of beef I used ground round meat. The meat I used for both came from Grass Roots Co-op out of Kansas City, KS and some of the most delicious meat I've ever tasted! Also instead of mincing the onions I just sliced them up. Not sure if that's the same thing as mincing them? But it still came out good. Didn't think of taking a picture of it, next time I will though! Thanks for the recipe!

I make mine with sausage as well. For non ketchup lovers, I add a half a cup of milk and a half a cup of Heinz 57 to the mixture. I also coat the top with the 57 instead of ketchup. This is a gteat dish!

Moist, Meaty and Easy: My husband doesn't like meatloaf, mainly because it is not meaty or very dry. I searched the Internet and there were so many complicated recipes, I don't have time for that. This was easy, my husband ate 2 helpings last night and had a meatloaf sandwich for lunch today. I didn't have the maple sausage so I used Italian. I will try breakfast sausage next time for something different. It does give the meatloaf a sausage flavor but I thought is made it taste more meaty.

I added to this recipe. I used 1 can of beets, drained and cut into small pieces, almost puree, with the rest of this recipe's ingredients. It turned out 5 star delicious, and didn't alter any of the dish in taste. Wonderful meatloaf taste. ADD BEETS!<br/><br/>D.C. Farley (a.k.a.), Delano Farley.
