Microwave Meatloaf
By Donna Rivera-Loudon
Many people hesitate to cook meat in the microwave. However, if done correctly it works fine. It is nice in the summer so you don't have to turn on your hot oven. I recommend using a silicone loaf form to make the meatloaf in the microwave. Glass containers seem to dry out the meat.
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 3/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- Salt and peper to taste
Combine ground beef, 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce, onion, bread crumbs, egg, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir until well blended. Press mixture into microwaveable loaf pan. Spread remaining barbeque sauce over mixture.
Microwave on high 5 minutes; rotate 1/4 turn. Microwave an additional 5 minutes; rotate another 1/4 turn. If necessary, repeat until center is done.
