Looking for a good meatloaf recipe - one that I can cook at home and give to my son to reheat for his tea - so need a recipe that doesn't dry out on reheating.Thanks

Pretty sure the above is the one my SIL give us and it is fantastic.We make double recipe of sauce and only put in half to start with then baste every 15 to 20 odd minutes.
going to check if it is the same now.

G'morning.Thanks for the above recipe.
I know this is a 'blonde' query.When you say "baste" the loaf - do you keep some of the sauce aside and every now and then pour a little more sauce over the meatloaf while it is cooking.Otherwise I would havethought that once you pour the sauce over the meatloaf it would sink into the meat and there wouldn't be any sauce 'sitting anywhere'to baste.

Sorry, perhaps I didn't read the recipe properly.It looks like you place the meat mixture into a tin and then shape into a loaf, then pouring sauce over and then basting . I was intending to put the mixture into a loaf tin;then basting would be awkward.

hi there, if you look at the left hand side of this screen you will see a box headed message board, in the keyword or member box type meatloaf, and then in the date posted box click on the little arrow on the right and then on anytime, then click search, you will find loads of meatloaf recipes. good luck.
it is soooooooooooo good and my favourite - i was not a keen fan of meatloaf until I tried this recipe. Its even better cold the next day between two slices of fresh bread

I make extra sauce too as my family like to have some to serve with the loaf. It is a really good recipe and quite old - I found it on one of my Grandmother's old handwritten books and she died nearly 60 years ago.I cut the coffee down to about 2/3 of a teasp of instant coffee as we find the full teasp a bit "coffeeish".With the smaller amount it gives a tang that is not recognisably coffee.

The recipe that campmum posted is the one my family have been eating for years and loving it my friend gave me the recipe however, the sauce with our is different and yummy....... 1xtin of apricots, 1/4 c of malt vinegar, 2 Tbs of brown sugar.Simmer all in a pot 5 mins. (I mash the apricots beforehand)Take meatloaf out of oven etc etc.
