Recipes don't have to be gourmet. Basics will do.I just bought an enameled cast iron dutch oven. Does anyone have any good recipes or website with recipes?
All-Star Chili
2 slices bacon
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green or red bell pepper, chopped
1 package (1 ounce) Williams Cajun Chili Seasoning
2 cans (141/2 ounces each) chicken broth
2 cans (16 ounces each) baked beans, undrained
1 can (14 ounces) stewed tomatoes
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons molasses
1 1/2 cups cooked rice
1/2 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted
2 tablespoons diced green onions
Directions:
Cook bacon in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until bacon is crisp.
Remove bacon to paper towels; crumble and reserve. Discard all but 1 tablespoon bacon drippings. Add onion and green pepper to drippings in pan.
Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender, about five minutes. Add chili seasoning, chicken broth, beans, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and molasses, blending well. Reduce heat; simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Toss together rice, almonds and green onions. Pack about 1/4 of this mixture into a 1/2-cup measuring cup which has been sprayed with nonstick spray vegetable coating.
Ladle chili into four serving bowls, dividing equally. Unmold rice mixture in the center of each bowl of chili. Sprinkle with reserved crumbled bacon and serve hot.
Serving Size: Makes 4 servings

oh you can make anything in a dutch oven! I absolutely love them. Just yesterday I made green chicken chili in mine.
It's a really easy recipe that you can change up as you like. I just brown some chicken in the bottom of the dutch oven with a little olive oil. Then add a chopped onion and some slice garlic. When those are nice and caramelized, add 2 small cans of fire-roasted green chilies, 2 cans of beans, 3 cans of green enchilada sauce and enough water or chicken broth to take up the rest of the space in the dutch oven. Season with salt, pepper, some garlic powder, a palmful of ground cumin and about half a palmful of chili powder. Just bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer until it thickens up a bit.
Last week I made French onion soup. Just brown a mess of onions (about 1/2 to 3/4 of the volume of the duct oven, I go with 3/4 because I looooove onions!) Add some garlic and a little garlic powder, salt, pepper, a little celery seed or celery salt and some wor. sauce. Add enough beef broth to make up the rest of the volume then bring to a boil and simmer down til it's thicken. Serve with toast with Gruyere or Swiss on top.
EASY OVEN BEEF STEW
2 lbs stew beef cut in small chunks
4 potatoes diced
3 carrots peeled and sliced
2 stalks celery diced
1 small onion diced
1 can of cream of celery
1 can of cream of mushroom
1/2 soup can of water
pepper [no salt, soup will make it salty enough]
1 tbsp parsley
1 tbsp gravy master or browning bouquet
Place all ingredients in pot, stir to coat everything with soup, bake COVERED with tight fitting lid or foil for 1 1/2 to 2 hrs @ 350 degrees, stirring occasionally.

There are tons of recipes towards the bottom of this page.
First off, you might need to season the inside of the pan before using it. I'm not sure with the enameled ones, but my plain cast iron skillets and dutch oven had to be seasoned when I first got them (over 30 years ago!).
I like to do a beef pot roast in my dutch oven (or a pork roast with sauerkraut and carrots). For the beef roast, brown the roast over medium high heat on all sides. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, parsley and a bay leaf. Add garlic (crushed/chopped/or powder) if desired. Add sliced carrots, onions and green pepper around the roast. Add enough water to be about 1'; high in the pan. Cover. Put dutch oven in oven at 325 F to 350 F and cook until done. You can add quartered potatoes with the roast if desired or make mashed potatoes. Use the natural gravy on everything when serving.
I have written 2 cook books on Dutch oven cooking and am working on a third. email me for info. Here are also several links to Dutch oven groups with recipes for you to try.

Or try:
Mock Ice Cream Sandwiches
2 whole graham crackers
Cool Whip
Spread a thin layer of Cool Whip on 1 whole cracker….top with remaining cracker….freeze.
Can't get any simpler that that!!
You'll want to make several at a time.....can't eat just one!
HINT: Melt some chocolate and drizzle over top before freezing.

What are some good and easy-to-make catfish recipes?
What I usually do with my catfish is just fry it in olive oil and eat it with butter. (I'm wary of the broiler.) Are there any other (relatively easy) catfish recipes you like? What kinds of vegetables (besides, like, potatoes) do you pair with it?What are some good and easy-to-make catfish recipes?
I like it fried, but I do it in the oven; it's less greasy. Dip catfish chunks into plain flour and pile up on a plate. Prepare a pan of flour with either lawry's or old bay seasoning and pepper. Mix an egg with milk, dip the floured pieces into the milk and then into the seasoned flour. Fill a frying pan with only enough oil to coat it well, drop the fish pieces in, and as they brown on both sides, transfer to a pyrex pan. This leaves most of the oil in the pan. Bake all the way through. I serve it with tartar sauce -- either a grated cucumber (those little fresh ones are really good) or sweet relish mixed with mayo. I luv catfish!!
hey you only got one answer, I will add another recipe.
Top catfish slices with either fresh tomato slices or canned diced tomatoes and sliced onions. Bake.What are some good and easy-to-make catfish recipes?
try fixing it on the grill the same way u wld a nice little salmon fillet. Take a boneless fillet lay on a piece of aluminum foil a little garlic salt a sprig of fresh dill and a whole slice of lemon %26amp; a large ice cube. like frm an ice cube tray use bagged cubes 2 just takes a few. fold in2 a sealed pouch. The ice keeps the fish frm drying out while grilling. Depending on the thickness cooking time varies 3-5 min per side. Nice little salad or some grilled veggies %26amp; rice, gr8 meal especially in the summer
catfish with cheese grits.
fried catfish with yogurt dressing on top of a spinach and red onion salad. or
you can pan fry the catfish in olive oil, throw in a can of dice tomatoes, add fresh basil, and sweet black olives. serve with brown rice, yellow rice, or orzo.
i'm picking up nuggets tomorrow to cook up lol
i double dredge mine with seasoned flower and fry till golden brown.
i pair it with fries or rice usually. if i was doing veggies i would go with corn or peas. or peas n carrotts.
i have also baked it with lemon and dill or lemon and pepper.
it's the kind of fish you don't have to over flavor so i keep it light when making it.
Lay the whole fish on foil sprayed with PAM and cook on the grill witha little butter for taste .... Awesome.. My Lovely wife loves this way .... Very rewarding...credit rating

Can anyone give me some easy make ahead appetizer recipes?
I am having a big party for my son's first birthday, and I don't want to spend the whole party in the kitchen. Can anyone suggest some interesting recipes that I can make the night before and just heat or prep the day of the party? I am already doing the basic cheese/meat/cracker tray, and a veggie tray, but I was looking for something a little more interesting. Any suggestions would be wonderful! Thanks to everyone in advance!Can anyone give me some easy make ahead appetizer recipes?
if you make deviled eggs you can make the filling ahead of time and put it in a a big ziploc bag in the fridge. When you are ready to use the filling, cut off a corner of the bag not too big or small and use it to pipe the filling into the egg halves.Can anyone give me some easy make ahead appetizer recipes?

Any good recipes for neighbor about to have a baby?
My neighbor is scheduled to give birth next week and I want to make her a dinner or something for her family so they can enjoy the new baby and not have to worry about cooking.
What are some good recipes for easy meals, that most people will like, and that freeze well? I don't know these people that well as I've just moved here, so I don't know if they have any dietary restrictions.
If you recently gave birth and had people bring over dinners, which one worked the best? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!Any good recipes for neighbor about to have a baby?
You need to take something that is going to really help her having her energy back! Dessert is good but the important stuff is the actual meal. Do something simple. After having a baby is not the best time to try different foods. I would take stir fry (very simple - does not freeze well but I don't think she would like to freeze food now), or meat balls with some rice, etc, some sort of chicken...Any good recipes for neighbor about to have a baby?
Stir Fry is always a good one because it's easy to make and quick to cook. It's got veggies as well as meat (she'll need to be making sure she has plenty of iron so a beef stirfry would be best) and all she'll have to do is chuck it in a pan and heat it up!
What a considerate neighbour you are!! No one did that for me :(
I got 2 frozen lasagnas and it was so awesome . . . I know it is hard to make but ours where store bought and so yummy!
We ate it for like 5 days and did not care.
My Dad also brought us a pizza . . . just showed up w/ it!
BTW, so NICE of you!!!!!!!!!
Comfort Food!! Home made soups, stews, baked pastas like mac and cheese, baked ziti, lasagna, meatloaf %26amp; mashed potatoes, etc. If you worried abot their dietary restrictions, maybe stay away from meat, just in case they are veggie. You can't go wrong with a baked ziti. Here's a good recipe:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/…
How sweet that you want to do this for a family you hardly know!
A great turkey/chicken soup with carrots and potatoes. Soothing, nutritious, easy to reheat in individual portions.
Lasagna would be a good one for the freezer. Or enchiladas.
If you're looking for a dessert, try looking up s'more brownies. They're just brownies on top of graham cracker crumbs, covered by marshmallows. Put it back in the oven to give the marshmallows a golden crisp. They're amazing and really easy to make too!
A big tray of lasagna and a loaf of Italian bread would be a nice dinner. Also, you could take them a fruit basket (one that you put together). You can include: bananas, grapes, strawberries, and more.

one of my favorite pasta dishes is Macaroni Beef...

I will drain the grease from it and then add a large can of tomatoes and then add uncooked elbow macaroni or egg noodles and bring everything to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the noodles are tender.
It is also good with hot sausage instead of the beef....

Drain. Add in mushrooms, black olives. and pepperoni until all is heated thoroughly. In a large pot, cook noodles according to the directions on the package. When noodles are done, drain water from noodes. Put cooked noodles into large mixing bowl. Add beef mixture and jar of spaghetti sauce, until blended. Add mixture to a 13 x 9 dish. Top with shredded cheese. Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.

• 1 each red and green pepper, diced
• 8 oz. Italian salad dressing
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds
• 1 1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoons celery seed
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• Cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. Place in a large bowl; add tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber and peppers. In a separate bowl combine remaining ingredients; pour over salad and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
An easy pasta salad could be as easy as boiling off some pasta shells or macaroni, drain them and then add mayonnaise (enough to cover evenly). Then add thawed frozen peas, some grated carrots, bacon bits and 2-3 tablespoons of diced pickles or pickle relish. If desired add a pinch or two of dill and chopped chicken.

one of my favorite pasta dishes is Macaroni Beef...

I will drain the grease from it and then add a large can of tomatoes and then add uncooked elbow macaroni or egg noodles and bring everything to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the noodles are tender.
It is also good with hot sausage instead of the beef....

Cantonese Creamed Corn soups
Traditionally, this warming Cantonese soup is prepared in the same way as “Chicken Velvet” by chopping the meat or seafood into small pieces and mixing it with egg whites, liquid and cornstarch.
This recipe for Cream Corn Soup is much simpler – the cornstarch and water mixture is used as a thickener, and the egg whites are streamed into the hot broth before serving, just like in Egg Drop Soup. White pepper, green onions and Asian sesame oil add extra flavor to the broth. Serves 6.
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
5 cups homemade chicken stock or store bought chicken broth
1 1/4 cups canned creamed corn
1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
Black or white pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
3/4 cup cooked crab meat, or cooked diced ham
1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil, or to taste
2 green onions (spring onions), finely chopped for garnish, optional
Preparation:
1.Bring the broth or stock to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the creamed corn and bring back to a boil (about 3 minutes). 2. Stir in the salt, sugar, white pepper, rice wine or sherry and cooked crabmeat. Cook for about 2 minutes to bring back to a boil again. 3. Give the cornstarch and water mixture a quick re-stir, and then pour into the boiling soup, stirring to thicken. When the soup has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. 4. Pour the egg whites into the soup in a steady stream, and quickly stir in a clockwise direction until they form thin shreds. 5. Add the sesame oil and the green onions garnish if using.

Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
5 - 6 cups homemade chicken stock (see recipe directions for link) or store bought chicken broth
1 can (14 - 16 ounces) cream corn

What juicer recipes are good for height gain?
I am 15 years old, male, 5ft 8 1/2';, and 169 lb.. im not obese. im wondering what juicer recipes are good for gaining height.
im not too interested specifically in gaining weight. but any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.What juicer recipes are good for height gain?
Sorry mate, your height is defined by your genes, not by what you eat or drink. You can stifle your growth if you don't eat right, or if you smoke, but you can't do anything to get taller.
However, when you hit the age of 17, you'll grow plenty. So arm yourself with patience, and look forward to some extra inches then :)

I have a bread machine but I lost the manual, do I change regular bread recipes to fit the machine?
I want to make some bread. I would like to use my machine. Its a Webilt if that matters. I just need to know if the yeast measurement needs to be adjusted or if you do anything different compared to an oven?I have a bread machine but I lost the manual, do I change regular bread recipes to fit the machine?
The amount of yeast doesn't need to be adjusted. But, it must be put into the pan in a specific order. My recipes call for the active dry yeast last. For example
Basic French Bread 1# loaf
3/4 c water
2 c unbleached flour
1 tsp. sea salt
1-1/2 tsp. active dry yeast
place ingredients in loaf pan in listed order.
you should be able to download the manual from the manufactures web site.I have a bread machine but I lost the manual, do I change regular bread recipes to fit the machine?

Any vegetarian recipes/tips for lettuce, besides salads or sandwiches?
I buy lettuce for salad, but other than that I don't know what to do with the lettuce. Sometimes I don't even use it in a salad, and it's wasteful to keep buying something and not really eat it, or all of it.
Does anyone have tips for other ways I can use lettuce in food, besides simply as part of a salad or sandwich?

Classic White Cake
Ingredients:
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
12 tbsp. (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup milk
5 egg whites, at room temperature
Instructions:
Position a rack in the middle of an oven and preheat to 350潞F (180潞C). Butter and flour two (2) round 9 x 1 1/2 inch deep cake pans.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium-high speed, beat the butter until light. Gradually add the sugar, beating until well blended. Beat in the vanilla extract. Reduce the speed to low and, dividing the flour mixture into 3 batches, beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture alternately with the milk just until combined.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer fitted with clean, dry beaters and set on high speed, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the beaten whites into the batter just until incorporated. Divide the batter between the prepared pans; smooth with the spatula.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the pan sides to loosen the cakes. Invert onto racks and let cool completely.

Melt butter in 10 inch heavy skillet or 9 inch pan. Do not overheat. Sprinkle brown sugar over melted butter. Arrange canned fruit over the sugar mixture, filling the centers with maraschino cherries and filling in between the circles of fruit with pecans. Sprinkle moist coconut over all. If you use peaches, place cherry in center of each peach and lay cut side down. Fill in with nuts and cover with coconut. Pour cake batter over all.
Cake Batter:
2 eggs, beaten
2/3 c. sugar
6 tbsp. fruit juice
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. cake flour (sift before measuring)
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Beat eggs until fluffy. Then add sugar and beat until thick and lemon colored. Beat fruit juice and vanilla all at once. Sift cake flour, baking powder and salt together and beat into egg mixture. When cake has baked, immediately turn upside down on serving plate. Keep pan on plate for a few minutes, so that the brown sugar mixture will run down over cake instead of sticking to pan. Serve warm or cold, though you may decide it tastes better served warm with plain or whipped cream. Serves 6 to 8. Bake at 350 degrees in preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Any vegitarean recipes that are really easy to make and will fill me up?
P.s. It is snowy outside so it is impossible to drive to the store.
so i need something that is easy.Any vegitarean recipes that are really easy to make and will fill me up?
Check out www.vegcooking.com for hundreds of great, kitchen-tested vegetarian recipes - incredible dishes like faux chicken pot pie, meatless shepherd's pie, seitan (wheat meat) in a lemon picatta (sp?) sauce, and so on.
I don't know what you have at home to know what you can whip together quickly. If you have some pasta and tomato sauce, you'd be good to go in 20 minutes. You can roast veggies (potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, carrots, parsnips, etc.) with garlic and Italian spices (just chop the veggies so they're bite-sized, add the minced garlic %26amp; spices, and roast in the oven at around 400 for about 20 minutes. You can add whatever veggies you like - asparagus, green beans, brussels sprouts, etc.
If you have canned beans, you can cook them with a can of diced tomatoes; add cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt and mash up for quick refried beans. We often have refrieds with guacamole and chips - a great quick meal. We also keep veggie dogs and veggie burgers in our freezer for a super-quick meal. I often make dishes in large quantities (chili, curries, etc.) and freeze them, so when I'm in a hurry, I just have to heat the food up.
Good luck and happy chowing!Any vegitarean recipes that are really easy to make and will fill me up?
pasta! there are so many...mac n'cheese, pasta with pesto, tomato sauce, mozzarella, etc.
quesadillas! melt cheese between 2 tortillas, top w/salsa or avocado
tomato soup and grilled cheese
eggs are the easiest! scrambled eggs w/basil, omelette, etc...make w/soup or salad if you have lettuce
make your own pizza!
3 1/2 cups flour
1 cup warm water (between 95掳 and 115掳 F.)
2 T yeast (2 tablespoons, I like my dough a little yeasty. You can use less)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
mix by hand or with a dough hook ,then just roll out and spread with tomato sauce and grated cheese or whatever toppings you like
Go through you kitchen and see what you have. Experiment with combinations of foods that you wouldn't put together right away, like zucchini and apples.
Take the things that you think will taste good together throw them all in a saute pan and cook some rice or tofu to go with it.
Or you could tale the lazy way out and have spaghetti.
I make a quick bean salad, just mix together 3 small tins of beans, (chick peas, kidney beans, butter beans or choose your own combo) and make a dressing with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and cracked black pepper, its delicious and very filling. You could also make a vegetable soup just make sure you add lots of beans at the end to fill you up.

Any good recipes for meat loaf?
Meat loaf is one of those foods everyone makes different. I would like to hear some twists to an old favorite.Any good recipes for meat loaf?
BEST MEATLOAF
BASIC MIX:
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 c. fresh Italian style bread crumbs
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water or beef stock (can use bouillon)
3 tbsp. Balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 c. Parmesan, grated (optional)
In a small bowl, combine tomato sauce, ketchup, Balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and water/beef stock.
In a large bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, onions, green bell pepper, parsley, chopped garlic, egg, seasonings, 3/4 cup of tomato mixture, and optionally, Parmesan cheese.
Form into loaf. Place into shallow 7 by 10 in. pan or bread loaf tin, lightly oiled. Pour remaining liquid over meat loaf to coat. Bake in a 350 degrees Fahrenheit oven for one hour and 15 minutes, basting occasionally with ketchup or your favorite barbecue sauce.
Optional Variations:
Choose one:
1. Eliminate salt, bouillon, and substitute 3 tablespoon onion soup mix. Sprinkle top with tomato soup and crushed crackers instead.
2. Use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of bread crumbs.
3. If you have leftover bread, especially Italian or French bread, substitute milk for the water listed in recipe, and soak about 2 cups bread in the milk prior to mixing into the meat mixture. Squeeze out the excess slightly before adding. Substitute this bread for the bread crumbs. After mixing everything together, you can also form this meat mixture into meatballs and fry in 1/2 inch olive oil in a heavy bottom skillet (such as cast iron). If making Italian meatballs, leave out the brown sugar and Dijon mustard, but be sure to use the Parmesan cheese. Season the oil in the pan with 2-3 whole cloves garlic (don't chop it up or it will burn instead of just roasting).
4. If you're in a hurry, you may use as a substitute 2 cups of barbecue sauce and eliminate the following ingredients:
1 c. ketchup
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
3 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp. of brown sugar
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
5. Eliminate the saut茅 crumbs. Saut茅 this mixture with onion and garlic for 5 minutes and layer a casserole with no-cook lasagna noodles. Place meat mixture to cover noodles. Add a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and:
1/3 pound ricotta mixed with one egg
1/4 c. freshly chopped Italian parsley or 1 c. fresh spinach
1/2 pound grated mozzarella cheese
Cover with another layer of noodles, and top with 1 large can of tomato sauce mixed with 1/2 teaspoon each basil and oregano. Place in 325 degree oven 60 minutes or until bubbly, basting occasionally with sauce to prevent lasagna from drying out.
6. Form meat mixture into large doughnut shapes, approximately 6-7 inches across. When forming the doughnut, don't allow the center to actually become a doughnut hole; just thin it out, leaving a well in the center. Optionally, brush with ketchup. Crush 8-10 Saltine or Ritz crackers into crumbs and sprinkle over the doughnut shaped burger, concentrating the excess crumbs into the center. Sprinkle with onion and garlic powder and a liberal dose of soy sauce, allowing a 1/2 spoon or so to form in the well. This can optionally be topped with cheese and canned mushrooms if desired. Place in microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes or so, according to size, until the juices run clear and meat doughnut is done. Served with meat drippings as topping, there is no need for a bun. This is a fast and easy low-carb lunch!
7. Place 3-4 strips of bacon lengthwise along the top of the meatloaf. Garnish with rings of green or red bell pepper and bake as usual. 8. Use your imagination, get creative, and enjoy!Any good recipes for meat loaf?
My favorite way to make meatloaf is to look in the refrigerator and throw in whatever I am in the mood for. Might be steak sauce, salad dressing, barbeque sauce and whatever veggies I am in the mood for....I have tried them all even olives. And believe it or not it always turns out good. My family loves it and there is no way to tire of it because it NEVER EVER tastes the same twice.
Here is a fast and easy recipe
Equal parts ground beef, ground turkey , and ground buffalo/bison (this gives a lot of flavor but is still healthy, if you can't get bison/buffalo use half turkey and half beef)
Add
1/2 of an onion finely chopped
1-2 eggs depending on size
1 1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 can French's Onion Rings
1/4-1/2 of a bell pepper (depending on your taste)
Two small splashes Worcesteshire
1 cup Ketchup
4 tablespoons Heinz 57 sauce
Garlic salt
Freshlly ground black pepper
mix together by hand, divide in two and place each into a loaf pan.
Cook 325 until pressure on top of loaf yields clear liquid. At that point put a light coating of either ketchup or romato sauce on top of loaf and return to oven for 5 minutes, or just until top begins to caramelize
The best one we've ever made, and we now make it twice a month or so...is from ';Kraft'; canda recipes

Cajun Meat Loaf
Serving Size : 6
-----SEASONING MIX-----
2 Whole bay leaves
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon White pepper
1/2 teaspoon Ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
-----MAIN INGREDIENTS-----
4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
3/4 cup Finely chopped onions
1/2 cup Green bell peppers -- chopped
1/2 cup Celery - chopped
1/4 cup Green onions -- finely chopped

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup Evaporated milk
1/2 cup Catsup
1 1/2 pounds Ground beef
1/2 pound Ground pork
2 Eggs -- lightly beaten
1 cup Very fine bread crumbs
Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Melt the butter in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, bell peppers, green onions, garlic, tabasco, Worcestershire and seasoning mix. Saute until mixture starts sticking excessively, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping the pan bottom well. Stir in the milk and catsup. Continue cooking for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool to room temperature.
Place the ground beef and pork in an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan. Add the eggs, the cooked vegetable mixture and the bread crumbs, remove the bay leaves. Mix by hand until thoroughly combined. In the center of the pan, shape the mixture into a loaf that is about 1-1/2 inches high, 6 inches wide and 12 inches long. Bake uncovered at 350F for 25 minutes, then raise heat to 400F and continue cooking until done, about 35 minutes longer.
Serve immediately as is or with Very Hot Cajun Sauce for Beef. This is best using both ground pork and ground beef, as the pork gives more flavor diversity. However, you can make it with ground beef only. From Paul Prudhomme's ';Louisiana Kitchen';
