When I started this blog, I promised that this would be about BBQing and related matters. I also promised recipes. So I will start off with a recipe that was published In The Lone Stae Outdoor News.This a paper that is published bi-monthly about the great outdoors in Texas, Hunting, fishing, camping and other related topics. This paper is a great paper ( not just because the published one of my recipes) that I enjoy and cannot wait for it to come during the month. There website is lonestaroutdoornews.com. The recipe they published is one i call ” Mama Shay’s Meatloaf “ . Now mama shay is my wife and the rock of the family and there is only one other that I know of that is a better cook ” ME” and if I want her to know that I will tell her. It is the way to keep peace in the family. To be honest she has been very instrumental in the development of Big Al’s Texas Rubs and I do not know what I would do with out her. Now that part you can tell her!! So with out further ado, here is the recipe.
Mama Shay’s MeatloafServes 6-8
350 degree F oven3 pounds ground chuck, elk, venison, buffalo
6 slices day old bread torn into small pieces
3 T. Big Al’s Texas Rub Original Flavor Seasoning
1 cup catsup divided
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 small chopped onion (at least ½ cup…more if you like onion)
2 eggs
Combine all ingredients, using half of the catsup in the meat mixture in a large bowl and mix well. Clean hands work best for this process!
Shape mixture into loaf on a baking sheet. Pour remaining catsup over the top. Bake for one hour or until outside is crispy and interior temperature is 160 degrees F. Allow loaf to rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Grease in the pan may be drained before serving.
Serve with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable and you have a meal that will have all of the family running to the table.
My wife makes this meatloaf. It is not fancy, there is no special ingredients ( except for Big Al’s Texas Rubs Original Flavor). Her meatloaf is always the same GREAT! IT will make a bulldog break his chain to get to it, but he never gets close because there is never anything left. The recipe has gone from 1 pound of meat to 3 pounds of meat because everyone in the family loves meatloaf sandwiches. So this recipe is dedicated to my wife and best friend.
You will find that most of my recipes are just good-old country boy recipes. I could put fancy french words in the title or say ala whatever but I am from East Texas and by the time you say some of those french words or tha ala stuff all of it is gone and you are left washing the dishes. So if you are looking for that fancy stuff you are on the wrong blog but what you will find is good cooking that will taste good first and if I have time look good.
Here endth the lesson
