Description

Nope, this is not my mama’s meatloaf. But it is made with my favorite cereal and it sure is good!


Ingredients

Units Scale

1 1/2 c Cap’n Crunch plus 1/3 c for mixing in or 3 slices crumbled bread
2/3 c milk
2 eggs
Salt, pepper, garlic powder
1/3 c chopped onion
1 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese
19 oz ground turkey or use 1 1/2 lbs ground beef for turkey and pork
4 oz ground pork
1/4 c ketchup
1/4 c brown sugar
1 T prepared mustard


Instructions

Crush 1 1/2 c Cap’n Crunch. Let soak in 2/3 c milk until soggy, about 15 minutes.

Add beaten eggs and seasonings and onions.

Add 3/4 c cheese and turkey and pork. Stick your hands in and mush it around. Add 1/3 c uncrushed Cap’n Crunch.

Now take a tiny spoonful, put it in a dish and put in microwave for about 20 seconds. Taste it. If you need to add more seasonings, this is the time.

Shape into a loaf  in a 2 qt baking dish. Mix ketchup, brown sugar and mustard and spread on top and sides of loaf. Top with 1/4 c of remaining cheese.

Bake at 350 for about an hour. If you use turkey this may create a lot of meat juice. I just pour it off about halfway through so the sides of the loaf bake, not steam!

This is a good one. The rabbit catcher husband liked the tiny bits of sweet crunch that the whole cereal provides. Give this a try!
