hey russ, is there room, on a porch or something, for one of those three legged charcoal grills with the big dome shaped lid? If so,I think a better tasting meat loaf could be made in one of these than in a conventional oven. Not to mention the potato & bean baking while the meats a loafing. big_smile
  They do a nice job on a steak an a roasting ear too!

You're thinking of this entirely in the wrong light.  Hint: It's RUSSELL who we're hoping meets a woman ...

Re: MEATLOAF FIT FOR A DOG

Nope Zurf, you've got the wrong end of the stick. I was thinking of sending Russell the wife but the requirement of not breathing rather interested me.

The other word 'rich', well I am sure Russell and myself can come to some agreement.

Re: MEATLOAF FIT FOR A DOG

Whoa whoa whoa...you've got it all wrong buddy.

"Microwave" and "Meatloaf" don't go well together...

Try the combination of "Meatloaf" and "Oven"...they go worlds better together.

EDIT: Grilling the meatloaf over charcoal would be better than using a microwave...lol.

Re: MEATLOAF FIT FOR A DOG

Maybe you should start with something easy like frosted flakes or fruit loops, then work your way up to toast, eventually with practice you'll make a meatloaf.

I would not recommend an aluminum pan. A thick walled aluminum pot with thick lid would work. What works best is a cast iron dutch oven . Put ingredients in dutch oven leave lid off for first 1/3 of cooking time "but do have the charcoal burner lid closed". Then place dutch oven lid on dutch oven and several pieces of charcoal on lid and close charcoal burner for remainder of time. Experiment with things like mesquite charcoal or apple wood shavings during the first 1/3 cooking time for enhanced flavors. Enhanced flavoring not applicable for conventional oven. sad

I'll bring the beer, big_smile when do we eat?      just joking smile

Hey Russ do not give up hope,

I am only a couple of years younger than you and I too was on my own and not looking for a lady, but by chance one has walked into my life. I can assure you that her cooking in vastly superior to mine. I am only worried that I might start putting on weight but I hope the exercise will prevent that smile.

Re: MEATLOAF FIT FOR A DOG

If a microwave is all you have, buy a frozen meatloaf from a store and spice it up after you heat it.
We have a seasoning around here called "Tony Chachere's" that can make most anything up to and including shoe leather taste better.

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
Ya'll wanna go down to the Guf?

Oh YEAH!! "Tony Chachere's" That's the good stuff. The only thing I wouldn't put it on /in is a glass of water tongue  but even that might be good --now available at your local walmart--

Re: MEATLOAF FIT FOR A DOG

Yes that is the best seasoning you can buy "Tony Chachere"s Original Creole Seasoning in the green can.It is available here at most of the grocery stores and Walmart.I have tried some of the other flavors but the original is the best.We use it on everything,when cooking with it use some care it may get to hot for some folks.
   The first time I was introduced to it was back in my drinking days,I was sitting on a barstool in New Orleans and drinking a Bloody Mary to get the day started and could not believe the wonderful flavor.I asked the barmaid for her secret and she brought out the Tony's container and said this is the stuff.
   My family is hooked on it and we use it on nearly everything,except when we're having guests over,I tend to like things spicier than some.
