Everyone in my family loves this unusual recipe. It's especially fun to serve in the fall and around the holidays.
Ingredients:
2 eggs
3/4 cup crushed saltines (about 22 crackers)
1/2 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
1/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 pounds ground turkey or beef
1/2 pound ground ham
1/2 cup barbecue sauce, optional
bay leaves and fresh cranberries, optional
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Crumble beef and ham over mixture and mix well. Pat into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-1/4 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160°.
2. During the last 15 minutes of baking, baste meat loaf with barbecue sauce if desired. Garnish with bay leaves and cranberries if desired. Discard bay leaves before slicing. Yield: 4-5 servings.
