COLEMAN QUICK AND EASY MEATLOAF

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup 2% milk
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon (each) instant minced onion, basil and parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 green pepper, diced, optional
• 9 single saltine crackers, finely crushed
• 1.5 pounds Coleman ground chuck

Preparation

In a large bowl, mix ingredients using the above order.  Gently stir in the Coleman ground chuck.  Divide the mixture into four equal parts, and shape into small loaves.  Place loaves in a glass casserole dish.

Using a 900-1,000 watt microwave, cook the loaves on high for 12-13 minutes (if your microwave does not have a turntable, turn at 6 minutes). Cook an additional 5-7 minutes at 50% power.  Allow standing time of 10 minutes, and then check for doneness.  The internal temperature should read 160 degrees.  Return loaves to oven at 50% power if more time is needed.  Drain excess grease, and place loaves on a paper towl-lined plate to absorb additional fat.  Serve on a meat platter with additional ketchup or salsa on the side.

Serve this meatloaf with boiled red-skin potatoes and a green salad tossed with tidbits of fresh broccoli, tomato, garbanzo beans, and a sprinkle of grated cheese.  Add a loaf of your favorite crusty bread and a bowl of fresh strawberries for dessert!   Delicious, yet very quick and easy.
