Nif's Nothing Fancy Meatloaf
"Just a basic meatloaf recipe that my family happens to really enjoy. If you don't have green onions (they do add a great flavour), or your kids pick out the green pieces, you can substitute them with 1/2 medium onion, chopped. I'm not a huge fan of ketchup, but you can add it on top if you want to. Make these in a muffin tin if you want to get your kids more interested. Served with mashed potatoes and a veggie, it's a simple, tasty meal. These aren't huge portions so you might want to double the recipe. The leftovers will freeze very well. Enjoy!"

Just the way DH likes his meatloaf. I liked the hint of worcestershire sauce and would add a little more next time. DH won't eat onions so I used a little granulated onion powder- don't tell him :) Made for Family Picks ZWT6. -
I used ritz crackers, lean ground beef. I loved the green onion in it. I ate mine with ketchup. Thanks Nif :) Made for the Zwizzle Chicks of ZWT -
I had fun making these, I made them into single small serving in my muffin tin, LOL They were so simple and really good. Made for Everyday Is A Holiday Tag Game.

Nice, ultra-simple meatloaf, which I appreciate. I used 1 tsp. of Montreal Steak Seasoning instead of the salt and pepper, and also a full tsp. of Worcestershire. -
Delicious! I used part of a regular onion instead of green onions, Montreal steak seasoning instead of salt and pepper. I used lean beef and you definitely need to pour off the excess fat after being cooked. We used chili sauce for the topping and I'll be making this one again.

This does not need to be fancy as it is perfect down-home cooking at it's best. Loved how the crackers were used as the filling instead of breadcrumbs. I used a whole wheat cracker in place of the saltines but that was the only little change. Very moist and just delicious! A crowd pleaser for our family. Made for ZWT6 event. -
Quick and easy comfort food dinner! I subbed ground turkey (dark meat) for the ground beef and also upped the Worcestershire to 1 tsp. Served with brown gravy and mashed potatoes. Thanks for a nice, quick weeknight supper! -

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
