Ingredients

Meatloaf:

1/2 cup olive oil
4 pounds red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and minced
4 pounds onion, trimmed and minced
1 1/2 cups minced garlic
1 1/2 cups soy sauce
6 tablespoons salt
4 tablespoons black pepper
24 eggs
6 cups cream
10 pounds bread crumbs
31 pounds ground beef
3 1/2 cups tomato paste
Meatloaf Gravy, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Heat oil in a pot. Saute bell pepper, onion, and garlic in the hot oil for 5 minutes. Let it cool. Mix soy sauce, salt, black pepper, eggs, cream, and bread crumbs together well. Add oil, bell pepper, onion, and garlic and mix well. By hand, mix ground beef.

Place 6-1/2 pounds of this mix into each meatloaf pan. Ice the top of each loaf with 1/2 cup of tomato paste. Bake for about 2 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Remove the pans from the oven and drain all of the grease out well. Cool in pans until cool enough to turn out. Serve with Meatloaf Gravy.

Meatloaf Gravy:

3 pounds butter
5 pounds diced onions
5 pounds chopped mushrooms
1/4 cup minced garlic
2 3/4 pounds pastry flour
5 1/2 gallon water
1 3/4 pounds beef base
10 bay leaves
2 tablespoons black pepper

Melt butter in large pot. When hot, add onions, mushrooms, and garlic and saute until softened and golden. Add flour and mix in well to make a roux. Add water, beef base, bay leaves, and pepper and mix well. Bring to a boil. Then simmer for 30 minutes or until thickened enough. Strain and cool.

Not the "Original" Meatloaf
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I have a recipe that came out of a "Redbook' magazine 1986 and it's not at all like this one. It is proportioned for a... serving for 8 not 88... I think the original one is the best I've ever had and still love. My daughter now makes it for her family..Read more

Scale it down - the flavors area awesome
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I scaled this down for a family of 3 and we ate it for a few days anyway. We made hot meatloaf sandwiches, and then I mashed... it up on the last day to make shepherd's pie. It tastes great - one of the two best meatloaf recipes I've ever used.Read more
