My Mom passed away recently and along with so many other things I cherish I miss her cooking. Like my Grandmother before her my Mom didn't really use or write down her recipes. So, now I am trying to recreate some of her standards by memory. I tried to make her turkey and stuffing for Christmas and it was reasonably close. Likewise, I was able to make a very similar version of her turkey soup afterwards. Now my goal is to make her meatloaf. I think I have the ingredients down...I think. This is what I remember: About one pound of ground beef, bread crumbs (not sure how much), an egg (or two??), ketchup (a cup, I think), onions if desired, seasoning.
So, what I need help with is some basic knowledge. For example, for how long do you cook it? Do you add water to the pan? How do you know when it is done? What degree of heat is needed?
I'm not really looking for a recipe because I want to make her version but I'm hoping for some tips and input. Any help is welcome!
Thanks!
