1 Comment

COOK TIME: 1 Hr

This looks like an ordinary meat loaf, but it's an all-in-one holiday meal.

What You'll Need

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
2 pounds ground chicken or turkey
3/4 cup (6 ounces) evaporated milk
2 tablespoons bottled steak sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
3/4 cup cracker crumbs
2 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder(or to taste)
2 tablespoons diced onion

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a 9-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the bottom of the pan. Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the sugar; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients; mix thoroughly. Shape mixture into loaf and set in pan on top of cranberry sauce. Pat down top of loaf until smooth and firm.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until done. Let set in pan for about 5 minutes, then invert loaf onto a serving platter. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Notes

The sugar and the cranberry sauce combine to make a rich sweet-and-sour topping.

I got this recipe out of your cookbook, "The Mr. Food Cookbook" many years ago and it has been a WINNER from the get-go! The only thing I do differently is that I make sure that I cover the bottom of the 9x5-inch loaf pan with the whole-berry cranberry sauce (after I put in the brown sugar, of course). That way there's a little more of the cranberries on there. I also substitute 1 tsp. of onion powder for the diced onion since my husband isn't a fan of real onions. We serve this with some extra whole berry cranberry sauce on the side, mashed potatoes, and green beans. Just delicious!
