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 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 turkey or beef |
1 pound ground turkey |
additional ketchup |
Directions:
1. 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.
