COUNTRYBOY MEAT LOAF

A COMPLETE INDEX TO ALL OF OUR RECIPES CAN BE FOUND HERE

Welcome back to 'Let's Cook.'

Anyone who knows me, knows my love of meatloaf.

And they also know I enjoy leafing through old cookbooks.

One of the things Penny and I enjoy doing is to frequent the 'Friends of the Library', here in Ocala, where you can buy donated books for next to nothing. We get a ton of our cookbooks in this manner.

Some of the books we get are from churches and other organizations who put together cookbooks as a fund raiser. It is fun to see these non-complicated recipes.

So today, we are going to church!!!

Specifically, the Unity Baptist Church up in Anthony Florida

Today, we are cooking up Pastor Sammy Clements recipe for COUNTRY BOY MEAT LOAF.

The book set us back a whole dollar and a half.!!

So, let's get er' done.

1 lb Ground Beef

1 lb Ground Pork or Sausage

1 large Sweet Onion, chopped

1 large Bell Pepper, chopped

3 cloves Minced Garlic

2 Eggs

6 slices of stale bread (I used 1 Cup Breadcrumbs)

1 TBL Whose Your Sister Sauce

1/8 Cup Barbecue Sauce

2 TBL Brown Sugar

2 tsp Salt

1 tsp Ground Black Pepper

3 strips Bacon

Place meat on large bowl, Add bread or Breadcrumbs, and all ingredients, except the bacon

Knead mixture until thoroughly mixed.

Mold meat loaf into a cast-iron skillet or baking dish.

Place Bacon Strips on top pf loaf and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes.

Check internal temperature and continue to cook until temp is at 160-165.

Remove from and let sit for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

So, how was it???

This was one of the best we have made to date. Not as good as

WEST VIRGINIA MEATLOAF , but it makes the top 5.

It was also good cold as well.

So, give it a try. You'll thank me later.
