From the recipe’s author: “This is how my dad used to make it. Everyone who has eaten it just loves it. I love it because it reminds me of him.”

Ingredients
2 pounds ground beef
1 pound hot or mild sausage
2 eggs
1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Worcestershire sauce, to taste
2 sleeves saltines
ketchup
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Using your hands, mix beef, sausage, eggs, onions, bell peppers, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt and pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Add saltines until stiff enough to form a loaf and place in a loaf pan.

Bake for 60 to 90 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the loaf reads at least 160°F. Spread ketchup on top of loaf during last 15 minutes of baking time.

So when did sausage start being an ingredient for meat loaf? Ruins the taste.

Did you try it? No? Then how do you know the taste is ruined? Meat loaf, like stews, chicken soups, pot roast, etc. are all open to individual interpretation and personal taste. If your particular recipe is so great, why not give it and let us be the judges?
