[CnD] Italian Meatloaf

[Jan via Cookinginthedark]

Here's one I got from a radio show in our area about thirty years ago. It's
a good recipe. I've made it several times:
Italian Meatloaf
1-1/2 pounds lean hamburg
3/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 egg
1 cup spaghetti sauce, homemade or jarred, divided
1 4-ounce can mushrooms, drained
1 clove crushed garlic or 1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp basil
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1-1/2 tbsp oil
Heat oil in skillet. Simmer pepper, onion and garlic until half-cooked.
Drain well. In a bowl, mix meat, crumbs, egg, mushrooms and half the
spaghetti sauce.Add onion and pepper and mix well. Pour into loaf pan.
Mix remaining sauce with cheese and pour over the top of the loaf. Bake at
350 degrees, for one hour.

The one I use is pretty basic. I don't know about minced onions, but so long as 
they have flavor, I can't see the harm. Still, I find I get better results the 
more finely I chop my onions (my thought is that it's all the juice).

1 onion, finely chopped
3/4 to 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs (enough to cover the chopped onion)
1 egg
2 tablespoons ketchup or barbecue sauce, your choice
2 tablespoons mustard
2 tablespoons milk
1 pkg (36 ounces) ground beef
ketchup, barbecue sauce, or other sauce for topping

In a very large bowl, place the onion, then cover well with breadcrumbs. Add 
the rest of the ingredients and mix very, very thoroughly by hand.

Form into a loaf, or two small loaves, then top with your sauce of choice. Bake 
at 350F for around an hour--the time depends on how you shaped it. I bake mine 
uncovered, but I know people like to cover them. Part of what the sauce on top 
can do is keep the loaf moist, but even with no sauce, I've never had it dry 
out. Just don't over-bake it and you should be fine.

 Hi All,
 
 Does anyone have a basic meat loaf recipe using bread crumbs?  Also, can I 
 use minced onions in place of fresh ones?  Thanks in advanced for any help.

Hi All,

Does anyone have a basic meat loaf recipe using bread crumbs?  Also, can I use 
minced onions in place of fresh ones?  Thanks in advanced for any help.
