Do you cook the sausage a little before adding it to the mix?ilona saarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539769672758181010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659361804634685374.post-38747320805767292952009-11-06T14:37:17.637-08:002009-11-06T14:37:17.637-08:00Everyone loves meatloaf!!!

I had to learn to cook, and Mom never got around to, or I was not interested in learning how to cook. But I did learn to make meatloaf from some cookbook. Not gourmet, but suits us fine. I use eggs, bread, milk, chili sauce, chopped onions and peppers, hamburg and pork sausage. Unless I'm feeding lots, I place in small loaf pans to freeze to bake another day. Never heard of the egg in the middle, but sounds intriguing.Sandra in Michiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283930841371155364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659361804634685374.post-17713222396452225282009-11-06T08:34:27.076-08:002009-11-06T08:34:27.076-08:00I can't remember if my mother ever made meatlo...I can't remember if my mother ever made meatloaf. But I've had THIS meatloaf for many years now... so I can wax rhapsodic about my wife's meatloaf. Oh, and I once covered a Meatloaf concert for a TV show I was working on. He didn't have a hard boiled egg in him, though. Or maybe he did. Who knows what those rock stars request in their dressing rooms.Richardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659361804634685374.post-58605637316808058022009-11-06T08:30:59.854-08:002009-11-06T08:30:59.854-08:00Thanx for sharing your memory, Michael, I loved it...Thanx for sharing your memory, Michael, I loved it...

We're hitting record highs here in CO (high of 80 today!) but I too feel fall in the air. <br /><br />Yum.

I think so many years of cooking for a family of eight had dulled her interest in it by the time I sat at her table. But other than her shredded raw carrots, with no dressing, my favorite dish of hers was meatloaf,<br />with the hard boiled egg waiting secretly for anyone lucky enough to rate a middle slice. And it was always the kids who rated it. Sometimes of the loaf was big enough, two eggs were hidden inside.<br /><br />It was a little bit of heaven, balancing a perfect bite on the fork---a good chunk of savory meatloaf with a small piece of the bright yellow yolk and taste of the egg white that had the juice of the meat roasted in.<br /><br />It wasn't until I was the age of learning life's lessons that I found out the not every meatloaf had an egg tucked inside it by a loving grandmother. It was a tough lesson to learn.<br /><br />Thanks for making me remember.MickMilnoreply@blogger.com
