This recipe gets more requests than I ever could have imagined.
It's time/labor intensive, but OH SO worth it. The leftovers (when there actually are any) are amazing.
3lbs lean ground beef
2lbs ground sweet Italian sausage
1lb bacon
2 lrg green bell peppers
3 lrg onions
1 full bulb garlic
1 jar roasted red peppers
1 package sundried tomatoes- rehydrated
3 eggs
2 cups Breadcrumbs

Cook sausage, drain, run it through the food processor until it's crumbled.
Cook bacon, drain, chop coarsely
Slice onions thinly, cook in butter and olive oil until caramelized
Chop peppers and rehydrated tomatoes
Roast garlic

When all ingredients have cooled to touch, combine everything in a large bowl.
Add eggs and breadcrumbs.
Evenly divide mixture to fill 3 loaf pans.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour
Midway through, pour off accumulated grease.

I started off making this with only one pan. I've had to increase the recipe because 1 pan is not enough. Especially when people are expecting leftovers.

Goes extremely well with mashed potatoes and a side salad.

This sounds awesome. Definately going to try this. Thank you.

@Lewdsurfer You are very welcome! Enjoy!

Ew! Something I vowed never to eat again after I moved out of my parents house. Along with goulash and salmon load (made with canned salmon).

Hope you find some recipes to try though!

@Morganfreeman oh god it was nasty. Ground beef, elbow noodles, and a powder packet of some type of pasta sauce that you add tomato sauce and paste to. Kinda dry, not saucy. Yuck.

@Morganfreeman can't stand ground beef....also, since moving out last year I can't eat anything resembling spaghetti, lol. Ex made it at least once a week when we were married so it'll probably be 5 years before I'm able to stomach it again!

Cioppino (Fishermans stew).
It's an Italian dish, but was created in San Fran. They have a large Italian community there with some great resturaunts.

Cioppino Recipe
Prep time: 30 minutesCook time: 45 minutesYield: Serves 8
INGREDIENTS
Seafood: Add what ever you like. Clams, oisters, fish, crab, shrimp etc.
It works best when you add a few that you like.

Sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion (1 large onion)
1 cup chopped bell pepper (1 large bell pepper)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 28-ounce can tomatoes
Broth from Clams, shrimp, etc.
2 cups red wine
2 cups tomato juice
2 cups fish or shellfish stock
An herb bouquet of bay leaf, parsley, and basil wrapped in a layer of cheesecloth and secured with kitchen string
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup minced parsley for garnish
Optional seasonings: a dash of Tabasco sauce and or Worcestershire sauce
1 Steam clams and mussels: Steam mollusks (clams and mussels) in a small amount of water (about two cups) until they just open. Set aside. Strain and reserve the cooking broth.
2 Prepare the cooked crab: Remove the crab legs from the body and use a nutcracker to crack the shells so that the meat can be easily removed once it is served (leave the meat in the shell).
If you pick out the crab meat, try to keep it in big chunks. Keep the top shell of the crab for making stock.
Note you can use prepared fish or shellfish stock, or you can make your own. If you are not making your own stock, you can discard the crab top shell body. If prepared shellfish stock is not available, I would combine some prepared fish stock (available at many markets)

3 Prepare the shrimp: Split the shrimp shells down the back and remove the black vein.
Alternatively, you can shell the shrimps and devein them. Shell-on imparts more flavor; shell-off is easier to eat.

4 Make the soup base: In a deep 8-quart covered pot, sauté onions and bell pepper on medium heat in olive oil until soft. Add the garlic, sauté 1 minute more.
Add tomatoes, broth from the mollusks, red wine, tomato juice, fish or shellfish stock, the herb bouquet, and salt and pepper to taste.
Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Remove herb bouquet. Taste and correct seasoning.
5 Add fish and shellfish: Add the fish and cook, covered, until the fish is just cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the steamed mollusks, crabmeat, and shrimp. Heat just until shrimp are cooked (just 2-3 minutes, until they are bright pink). Do not overcook.
I find it best to serve with some garlic beard to suck up some of the sauce.
I'm a huge seafood lover and this is one of my favorites.

Sounds very good.

@Lewdsurfer I know this post was about meatloaf, But I like seafood better.

There is a common idea that meatloaf is a stupid cafeteria food or a staple of the lower class as it stretches ingredients on a budget. I get it. But when you can kill it, like I do, you get birthday request instead of cakes . Here’s the deal:
Lean meat
Meat to bread ratio 2:1. (Lbs / cup)
Finely chopped veggies
One egg per pound of meat
Paprika, salt, pepper, ground mustard
35-35 , meaning 350• for 35M
No ketchup
Grated Parmesan if you’re ambitious.
2” high

You’re welcome.

I have an additional recipe that’s a touch better, but I shan’t reveal.
