Sweetheart Meat Loaf
I serve this heart-shaped meat loaf at least twice a month or whenever someone needs cheering up. Ground turkey and vegetables are nice additions. - Terri Hairston, Mansfield, Ohio
12 Servings
Prep: 20 min. Bake: 1 hour
Ingredients
2 medium carrots, cut into chunks
2 celery ribs, cut into chunks
1 small green pepper, cut into chunks
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 eggs
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 cup crushed saltines (about 30 crackers)
2 pounds ground beef
1 pound ground turkey
Additional ketchup
Directions
In a blender or food processor, combine the carrots, celery, green
pepper and onion; cover and process until pureed. In a large bowl,
combine the eggs, mustard, ketchup, cracker crumbs and vegetable
puree. Crumble meat over the mixture and mix well. On a greased
broiler pan, pat meat mixture into a heart shape, about 1 in. thick.
Cover and bake at 350° for 40 minutes. Uncover; top with
additional ketchup. Bake 20 minutes longer or until the meat is no
longer pink. Yield: 12 servings.
