Country Bob’s Meatloaf

March 11, 2009

Lovely and wonderful Becca of Bites of the Day hooked me up with a couple of bottles of Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce. I’m not a big meat-eater, but I thought a little red meat in my life might do me some good, so I used a meatloaf recipe from the Country Bob’s website for tonight’s dinner: Country Bob’s Meatloaf.

Country Bob’s Meatloaf

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs lean hamburger
1/4 cup chopped onions
12 crushed saltine crackers (I used 20 Kashi TLC crackers)
2 eggs, beaten
1 Tbsp Country Bob’s Seasoning Salt (I used Montreal Steak Seasoning) 
1/4 tsp pepper
3/4 cup Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce 
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup flour

Directions: Mix all ingredients together, place in baking dish, shape in loaf, pour a little more Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce on top and bake at 350 degrees for one hour. (I topped the meatloaf with a thin layer of breadcrumbs.) 

The meatloaf came out pretty good– it tasted delicious, but it was ugg-ly! I kept checking the meatloaf by poking it with a fork (and then a knife) to see if it was finished cooking. It was a mess by the time it was done!

So, when I mixed up all of the ingredients, the meat seemed too mushy to become a loaf. I followed the directions for the most part (minus the saltines and seasoning salt, but all of the major ingredients), so I put the gushy meatloaf in the oven and hoped for the best! The directions said to cook the meatloaf for 1 hour, but it took 90 minutes for mine to finish cooking! However, now that I look at the recipe, I see that the online version calls for 1/2 cup flour, but that ingredient was missing from the printed recipe that I received with my Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce. I think the flour would have made all the difference in this recipe! Oh well, I guess the final product was worth the wait!

If you’d like to try Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce, visit their website and request a coupon for a free bottle. It’s really tasty sauce! I’m just not sure if I trust their recipes now!

And for dessert: half of a toasted English muffin with peanut butter and chocolate and pb chips. YUM! 

I can’t believe that my day off is just about over! :-| Two more days to go… 

G’night, bloggies! Yoga time! :-D

Eek, sorry for the flour mishap. Hope you like the sauce other than that! I haven’t tried any of their recipes, just sort of thrown things together and used the sauce as a condiment.

The first time I made meatloaf for my boyfriend and I, we didn’t have any oatmeal or breadcrumbs so I thought I use rice! HAHA! Didn’t work! :)

Fabulous meatloaf. When I finally try that sauce, I will be sure to make a vegan version.

Dessert sounds amazing as well, I love the two types of chips!

As long as it tasted good, who cares what it looks like! I don’t think meatloaf ever looks appetizing!
That dessert looks great!

glad it came out well despite the mistake in the recipe! i made and tried my first ever meatloaf last year and discovered that meatloaf sandwiches are quite addicting!
