Thats one artery clogging meatloaf bud.
Okay here is what you do (I know this a repost).
You use one pound of the leanest hamburger meat you can find.
You use half a cup of ketchup.
You use one egg.
You use 1/3 a cup of milk.
Mix all that up.
You then crush up as much Ritz crackers as you need until the mixture feels like dough. There is no exact measurement for this.
Put that shit in a greased bread loaf pan.
I like to cover mine with ketchup and worchestershire sauce. Some people use ketchup and brown sugar you do you.
Bake at 375 for one hour.
There is absolutely no way to fail this recipe.

I don't know how to combine posts into my own because I'm a retard and doubleposting but traditionally meatloaf is supposed to be fatty and with shitty beef. It's a poverty food. That's like making sawmill gravy and worrying about the sodium content.

Meatloaf is an Americana recipe and quite delicious when prepared properly. Good luck with your fancy rice though man.

Meatloaf as we know it today was popularized during the Great Depression and was one of the many ways the government was instructing households to stretch shitty ingredients/stuff they didn't have enough of. That's what it is to me. If I was going to be going your route I'd just make salisbury steaks.

I'm aware of the history of meatloaf. No matter what type of rice you buy, you will still be incredibly autistic.

I don't know where else to put this so I am putting it here.

I have made my own butter to see if it is cheaper than buying it premade.

At the price I can get a half gallon of cream at Costco ($5.36) vs one pound of butter ($3.59) the answer is yes. Not hugely, but yes.

I used 28oz cream
I got 12oz butter
13 oz buttermilk

I guess the remaining 3oz came out in the washing or stuck to the bowl.

It was super fun! Faster and easier than I thought, and the process, enjoyable. I will definitely do it again. I used a stand mixer.

ALSO. I have been fermenting my own buttermilk since the beginning of the year, and that shit is amazing. It's significantly cheaper by about $3 a half gallon.

I used some of this to inoculate cream to make sour cream, which was also tits. I turned some of that into cream cheese! Tits all around.

10/10 do it faggots

Last thing I made like a week ago was chicken pot pie to get rid of shit I had in the freezer. I cant believe I used to be intimidated about making pie dough.

Making pizza tonight.

Off of amphetamines again so i'm eating and cooking again. Store had pre-made pelmeni on sale today, kilo for 4 yurodollars, cooked them asian-style. Sauce is dark soysauce for colour, light soysauce, honey, fresh grated ginger, chicken stock, Aceto Bianco in substitution for Chin Kiang vinegar and corn starch. Scallion greens because they go good with virtually anything. Was mighty fine. Fuckhuge images, sorry.

Made some Cajun chicken thighs with mashed potatoes last night. I have a huge container of Cajun spice that needed to see more use, so I mixed some of that with some Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and olive oil to make a marinade and soaked the thighs in that for a few hours. Pan fried them on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes a side, just long enough to render the fat and make the skin crispy. They were very juicy and flavorful.

The mashed potatoes had my usual roasted garlic, butter, salt and pepper, and I added a tiny bit of sage into them as well. I may have overcooked the potatoes a little, they came out a little soupy, but they overall tasted really good.

Spent more time cooking today to fill time, bought a whole chicken and cooked it vietnamese-style, 15 mins on a rolling boil, 15 mins covered off-flame. Added ginger, salt, lemongrass and katsuobushi for some flavour.

Let the carcass cook for about two hours to end up with some prime chicken stock. Not sure what i'm going to use it in yet, it keeps well for some time in the fridge.

That's probably true for meatloaf as americans knows it. Ketchup in meatloaf? That is awfully American. A really dirty meatloaf recipe I like uses black olives and it's served with a tagliatelle instead of anything potato.
Traditional meatloaf over here is just diced onion(cooked), egg, cream, bread crumbs, butter and herbs then obvious things like salt and pepper. Served with fried lingonberry, cream sauce and taters.

Today I made meatballs and pasta with tomato sauce where some ingredients were either missing or were wrong and it had to be done pretty quick(in under an hour). It still turned out very nice. I can't be the only one that feels annoyed when using another persons kitchen, where they put things in nonsensical places, knives are all wrong and incredibly dull etc.
