BIG BATCH MEATLOAF SEASONING MIX!! HOMEMADE MEATLOAF BLEND!!

Getting back into the swing of things and gearing up for fall. Even though the temps are still through the roof where I live, I am hopeful and kind of yearning for Autumn to make her way to me. With that in mind and with back to school upon us, it is time to think about the coming season. One of the recipes I have been most asked to share is a meatloaf recipe. So today I am getting ready to share that with this delicious meatloaf seasoning mix that will be the heart of a delicious, home cooked, comfort food meal like grandma used to make!

Busy weeks are ahead, work, school, clubs, sports etc. For me it will be two adult daughters in college and me nose to the grindstone, getting this channel back in order. Having the tools needed to make quality home cooked meals is essential to avoid mealtime confusion. It is no secret that I have been quasi absent this summer. I have been taking some time to just figure things out. Since my mom passed away it has been harder that I expected, to just live life in a normal way. I know that it takes time to heal, and I have been but I have neglected you and for that I am sorry.

This meatloaf seasoning mix is born out of my need to create similar flavors from one of my old standards. Truth be told, my favorite meatloaf seasoning blend used to be in a packet from Safeway grocery stores. They used to have a "Safeway Select" brand of meatloaf seasoning that was AMAZING! But then we moved and there are no Safeway stores where I live and when my mom got me some when they went to visit my brother it wasn't the same. Nothing stays the same. So I finally decided to make one of my own. I think I have done a bang up job. It isn't like my old favorite, but it is a new favorite and I hope it will be for you as well.

The best part about this blend is that you have everything you need on your shelf already. This is a great way to rotate and clean out your spice rack and freshen your spices for the coming fall and holiday season. Blending all these together in a mix is a great way to get more traction out of things you may have only purchased for one recipe. Others are old standbys that everyone should have on the shelf.

The base of this recipe is inspired by my homemade onion soup mix. I have made several changes and I am sure you will love the finished result. I stared with bulk, beef bullion powder and dehydrated onion flakes. That right there is great, but we can do better. Adding in paprika, mustard powder, marjoram, basil, parsely, onion and garlic powder along with some thyme, celery seed and black pepper you have the beginning of a great meatloaf. Having this already blended together is a plus because you only have to take everything out one time and boom, you are ready to go!

When ready to make a meatloaf, you can use 1/4 cup of this mix per pound of meat. You can use whatever you like. My preference for a meatloaf is half pork, half beef. But you can use ground turkey, chicken or whatever you prefer. In the video, I mentioned that if you like, you can use some of the chicken and tomato bullion available in the Latin food section in place of 1/2 cup of the beef. This will give your meatloaf blend a tomatoey edge. I did not have any in the pantry today otherwise I would have used that as well.

This seasoning can be used in meatloaf, but don't stop there! Use it for salisbury steak, meatballs, hot hamburgers, to season up sauteed onions and mushrooms or as a quick base for a gravy with flour and water added in. You can eve use this a a quick sipping broth by simply adding hot water from the kettle and a couple spoons of this in your mug. Great on a cold day to warm your bones.

When I upload the meatloaf recipe I will be sure to link it to this video. Keep watching! It will be coming soon!

I hope you will give this meatloaf seasoning blend a try sometime soon and I hope you love it!

Happy Eating!
