I lost my wife back in February of the year. Suddenly, I was alone, and had to cook for myself. I ran across this You Tube channel and immediately fell in love wuth it. I bought an air fryer and started using it to recreate the recipes on this site. I appreciate you, my sister, more than you you will ever know. Your Christian witness has been such an encouragement to me. May God richly bless you. Keep up the good work!
Be grateful for the time you had, but face the future as best you can. I enjoy this lady and her attitude toward how to make cooking work better for more of us.
My husband and I both enjoyed cooking, and we watched these videos together. My husband passed away in November of 2022, and while watching this video he came immediately to my mind. Although I think of him every day, this video reminded me of how much he liked it when I made meatloaf, and I can almost hear him say, 'Let's make that!', which made me smile. During this past year I haven't cooked very much but I'm going to make this meatloaf. Thanks for the memory Hilbilly Kitchen.
My condolences fond memories are always the best are always the best way to turn a frown upside down. I lost my better have in the middle of February this year
@haroldbrooks4235 my condolences go out to you too. I miss my husband everyday, you're so correct though, the fond memories of him do help, they do make me smile, and at times make me literally laugh out loud. Your loss is so recent, please know that you should take whatever time you need to grieve at your own pace. Take care.
I’m so sorry about your husband. I too lost my husband last fall but he would not touch a meat loaf. I come here to learn recipes just for me or sometimes I cook for a neighbor or friend when they come to visit. I have enjoyed eating lots of things he would never eat but I have the memories about the meals he asked me to cook also. I miss him everyday and suspect I always will. 50 years is a long time. Enjoy your meatloaf I know I will mine is in the oven now! 😊
Tell your stories of them..share your memories..little hints of wisdom or funny moments..through remembrance nobody really dies..their just not here right now..we'll be on
You know why I watch? Because of your belief. Your recipes are delicious and traditional too, but there's something to be held up on high for those who preach the Word without judgment or being sanctimonious. Keep on truckin', sister!
Yes I’m a black man from Miami Florida I love your recipes and your walk with God thank you for your great recipe you cook my mom with passion I do turkey meatloaf
It is known Baptist love good southern food. The reunions have lady's bring food that restaurant can't match. Pastor Jim is a good cook also among other talents. He sometimes remembers to not run the service over to long so that we can beat the Methodist to Ryan's. ❤️😄👍
@@Justin-fq7vj I grew up in Churches just like that! The most important part was watching over the community, then the get togethers with great cooking.
I really enjoy your videos. I’m 73years old and I loved to cook and bake however my vision has gotten to where I can’t read the measurements any longer so I enjoy your video’s when I can. I also like the fact that you share your faith. We serve the same God and He is Great all the time. Keep the faith and keep up the good work. GOD BLESS!!!
Becky, just a tip I was shown, before you put your meatloaf in your pan, line the bottom of your pan with a slice or two of bread then put your meatloaf on top of the bread slices and bake. The bread will soak up the grease & leave you with a perfectly cooked meatloaf without the greasy mess. And the bread slices won't stick to the bottom of your meatloaf (usually).
@@TheHillbillyKitchen finally got your cookbook today! The 1st one. .....if I had the chance...I'd still be that "pesky" neighbor next door!!! ...I "used to" put out a good plate of fried chicken. Now...nothing tastes same. Thot was me...don't think so.... ...I'm in "city". Kids have their own lives etc. I've never been in your area but...with funds..I would be your new neighbor lol! I belive Father puts us exactly where we need to be. Sometimes, I don't understand..but its ok. I do make good salsa tho...even for a 'gringo.'....lol. so hungry for a biskit...paid $3.50 at Kroger for 6 "rocks". Guess I'd better try your recipe! Is your 2nd book out? Thank you so much for all your "sharing". Stumbled upon your ..?...cooking TH-cam recipes long ago when you 2 were learning & adjusting lighting n stuff. My heart was very sad...later when you lost the other half of you... I thank you for so much. Hugs & God continue to bless you & family..
I made this for my father about a year ago, now at least 1x every 2 weeks or so he will buy ground chuck and request a meatloaf. He had never requested anything in all the years i have cooked for him since my mom died. Thank you for a great recipe!
I LOVE ALL OF YOUR HOMEMADE FROM SCRATCH MEALS AND I ADMIRE YOU HOW YOU ALWAYS TALK ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND, MR. BRETT, AND COOK YOUR MEALS HOW HE LIKES THEM PREPARED!!! YOU'RE A TRUE PROVERBS 31 VIRTUOUS WOMAN/WIFE!!! MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 SENDING YOU LOTS OF LOVE FROM THE MIDWEST, MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN❤️🤗
Thank you for this great recipe with so many variations! I change mine-up frequently - as you said - use what you have! I made a meatloaf several months ago and put on the smoker! WOW! There was none left when the company left!
@@krumble104 MIND YOUR BUSINESS KID, AND DON'T REPLY UNDER MY COMMENT!!! NOW, YOU BE BLESSED, AND I'M SHOUTING TO THE LORD THAT HE REPLACES YOUR NEGATIVITY WITH KINDNESS!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I just found this episode. My husband has been diagnosed with cancer and is in the middle of chemo and radiation. I am terrified. I will read John 1. Thank you and may God bless. ❤
Dear God, one of my favorites!!!! this just takes me right back to my Mom's kitchen. My sister and I as adults would go out to my parents home and spend the day cleaning out the garage, garden shed, mowing, trimming trees, etc (not because they needed help, but because that's what kids do for their parents!)...and about 5:30 p.m....we would sit down to a lovely meatloaf meal and a big glass of the best ice-tea in the world...with homemade whipped mashed potatoes, baby peas, and some wonderful biscuits! Thank you for bringing that wonderful memory back for my sis and I! BTW- you are my most favorite TH-cam chef..hands down!!! We are going to break out the iron skillet and make this meatloaf!
As a man fallen from grace and trying to turn around, I thank you for your messaging of God and His power. You are not overbearing about it and that is one thing I very much appreciate. I know what I need to do but the battle Satan's influence in stubborn resistance is strong. I also love food and love learning new recipes. You won a subscriber today.
remember that Jesus said He would leave the 99 to go find the one!!!! all of Heaven rejoices when someone gives their heart to Jesus! Whatever your battle is, try not to lose heart.
I've just come across your channel and feel truly blessed. I'm almost 64 years old and have never been a good cook. For some reason I can do a good thanksgiving meal but day to day meals... let's just say my husband has been very tolerant. I hope to see more of your videos. Thank you and may the Heavenly Father be with you and your family always.
I know it’s been a year but I read your comment and totally relate. We go out to eat so much because my brother who lives with me can’t stand my seasoning which is difficult for me. I must have fifty various seasonings and getting ready to get rid of everything except salt and pepper, garlic and onion powder and paprika. Starting with the basics! 😂🤣🙏
I love this channel too. My heart broke for Becky when I found Brett went to be with Jesus. My wife passed on in 2015 so I have been a fan of this channel for quite some time, not just the recipes but the Christian witness is uplifting. God Bless Becky for doing this channel.
After about a year ago I made this recipe; I just put 2 pounder+ of double this recipe in the oven, covered for 2 hours to start. It worked last time and I expect this will go well with some green beans and mashed potatoes. No potatoes for me, I'm not trying to gain anymore weight. Maybe a green salad. This is one of the best recipes I've tried in my 50 years of home making. Thanks so much for your down-home recipes; I've tried many and loved them.
God Bless You and your family for the inspiration to cook meat loaf again. I hadn’t since my mothers passing in 2016 (because I used her recipe😢). However, your patience and pace was just what I needed to try this Again! You mentioned the book of JOHN. well here we go. John 6:35 “Then Jesus said, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.'” Thank you for reminding me who is always first and loves us unconditionally. Steve
I made this meatloaf last night and it was a big hit. I also made the stewed potatoes and fried corn. Everyone was very content. No complaints. Hubby took leftovers for lunch and said it tasted even better today. Today I made the hamburger buns and flat bread. Turned out beautiful and so good. Thank you for all you do. God bless you and Mr. Brown.
For persons gluten allergies, rice can be used as another substitute for the crackers. I usually cook the rice a little before adding to the meatloaf mixture.
An Italian mother taught me to always use more eggs than the recipe requires. In meatloaf and in meatballs. So I use twice the eggs that most people use. The meatballs just melt in your mouth and are fluffy. I also mixed everything except the meat together first and then add the meat to the wet mixture and then mix until it's just combined.
I do to though I watched an episode of one of my hose technical chefs who said more than 1 is not necessary‘scientifically’ I said‘whatever dude’ and turned him off
My Dad is in assisted living and a Southern man. I regularly make him biscuits, cornbread and greens. My mom made good meatloaf, but I think this recipe would be something Dad would love when the dining room has something he calls weird’. I can see him with a plate of meatloaf sandwiches using biscuits.
I just LOVE meatloaf sandwiches !!! I usually make them with either regular bread or hamburger buns. Have made 'em a few times using biscuits, though, using leftovers after eating the meatloaf with a meal ... I've always liked to put a ketchup and brown sugar glaze on top of my meatloaf during the last few minutes of cooking. And, my favorite "Meatloaf Meal" includes the loaf, some fresh creamed taters, green beans, and, buttermilk biscuits with butter and gravy. I'm wanting to make myself a meatloaf for lunch tomorrow, now ! YUMMM !!! 😋
Since I found your channel, I find myself watching before bed to wash away the day. Thank you for all you do in that kitchen including the mighty Words of wisdom. May HE bless you abundantly ✌️🌾⚘️
Hi! I'm 70yo with three grown children, and I swear I think I have forgotten how to cook. I made this meatloaf with the taters and this made me feel so good. You are so right, the devil had closed my eyes to so many thing that are good through Jesus Christ . I will be reading my bible more often or just listening to the word to keep the devil away. Thank You Sincerely.....K.S.
I love God, I love my husband. I give my all to both. I take care of my husband & he takes care of me. I love cooking for him Becky, keeping the home clean for him, etc. I'm finding it very hard to live in this day and age. Becky, God keeps us going. Without God there wouldn't be any peace, love, or faith in our home. God IS everything! 🙏🙏
So glad to see you don't over mix your meatloaf 😊...My mother always made the BEST meatloaf EVER...She always said to make a " Great Meatloaf " you just can't over mix and the less you handle the meat the better the texture. So many people I see on the internet when they are mixing their meatloaf they look like they are making bread kneeding the meat so much and smashing it to mush with their hands. Thanks for bringing this to your viewers attention NOT to over mix.. Great video your demonstration on how to make Meatloaf the proper way. It will certainly ruin a good meatloaf texture when you over mix it...I always use a fork to mix my meat also. 😋
I love on this channel that I can find recipes that are so old nobody can find them anymore and I feel like this woman is extremely blessed that her family is passed them down to her. My mother told me about how my grandmother used to order whole sides of beef and they'd be making homemade Italian sausage for days but my grandmother she would make them in these long strands and cook them in like a spiral filling the entire Skillet on the stove. I've never made homemade sausage but oh my God would I have loved to have been there to do it with my grandmother learn how to do it and then cook it and eat it slice it up throw it in the sauce serve at family style on the table oh boy my mouth is watering thinking about it. But I love being able to find some of these old recipes on this channel and I'm grateful that this woman has this channel.
This is my families favorite. Love all of your videos. LOVE how you let the Lord lead and minister if you feel led. Praise Jesus! PUT GOD FIRST....AMEN!! God bless you. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes and faithfulness to God!!
Becky, love love, love your kitchen. Thank you for sharing your love for Christ Jesus ❤️ Appreciate your knowledge share as well as the encouragement to scale up or down the way you do things. Cutting up the size of vegetables in meatloaf, etc. I'm 75, so I've been kicking around in the kitchen for a while. For gals and guys starting out, it's really helpful to them to spread their wings and fly. BLESSINGS ❤️
I could almost smell that meatloaf through my phone. Your love of God and and your family and all that good stuff makes me wanna tune in again. You cook the soul food way. God Bless...
Your little signs around your kitchen remind me that the whole country ISN'T crazy. Many of us still believe that God and country are important. I subscribed for your recipies...and for your inspiration
My mom always made meatloaf with oatmeal, her mom probably did also (they were from Arkansas), I’m allergic to green bell peppers, other colors bother me some also…I can make a 3 lb meatloaf around my family & NOT have any leftovers!!! My now ex daughter-in-law hated meatloaf, but after 6-7 yrs with my son, she finally tried it….she went back for seconds & now makes it herself. My teenage grandson’s would rather have meatloaf then anything else (except maybe pizza) for Christmas dinner!!
Thank you for your video. My mother taught me to make meatloaf, but here's was always to dense and dry. She never put the crackers, that's why... Sometimes, I make rice meatloaf. I mix about 1.5 lbs ground beef, a can of diced tomatoes, chopped onions and bell peppers, a small can of tomato sauce, salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, worstershire sauce, and 2c. Instant rice, mix together into a loose mixture. Form loaves in a baking dish. In a separate bowl, mix one can of tomato paste, 4oz of water, salt, cayenne, garlic powder and worstershire sauce. Pour over the top of meatloaves. Baked at 350⁰ for an 1.5 hours PS... Add chopped cabbage to the mixture and have cabbage roll meatloaf. That's the same exact ingredients that we stuff cabbage rolls with...
Made your meatloaf recipe yesterday. My husband loves it! I haven’t made it in years. Just didn’t have a good recipe. So out of frustration I gave up. We both agree making it in the iron skillet is the best! God bless you!
I'm up here in the NY/NJ area but I'm originally from the south. I absolutely love learning how to cook meals I grew up with and the values. Thank You!!
Young lady. I'm newly divorced and 57. Thank you soooo much for the advice on cooking. I will be sure to purchase your cookbooks. So far I can make a mean egg sandwich. Look forward to making meatloaf. (my first video of your cooking) Thanks so very much and may GOD bless you and Brett and your family
It is August 2024 now, I love your cooking. I am almost 80 years old and I learn something every time I watch you. Love the Verses you do at end of show. I do have your cooking book and I have made this Meatloaf, it’s the best. Well… you are the best.Thank you ❤❤
I just am watching the Tuesday talk and for u to have lost ur husband has hurt my husband and i a lot, u both are valuable to us, we love u and loved ur husband and hugs so much
I just love the way you cook and your recipe's. My gege gave me her recipe when I was only 16 years old and I still use it today, and it's amazing how your recipe is almost exactly like hers. She also swore by using the cast iron skillet. By chance I found a rectangular pan at an estate sale, and had to get it. It makes perfect slices for sandwiches that the family die for. My husband is from the UK and the first time I made it for him he tried to say NO WAY! His mom made it with half ground mince as they call it and half mutton. He stated that he always hated it and that it was greasy. But like my gege, myself and you we all used ground round or ground chuck. I insisted he give it a try,, he begrudgingly did with a face of sour pickles, but immediately loved it and couldn't get enough of it. He has since made it a requirement in the kitchen that I make it at least once every 2 weeks. When we went to visit family in the UK, he insisted I make it there for them. I made 5lbs of it for 12 people. My step son that lives in the UK begged for a meatloaf sandwich for his lunch at work. I luckily hid 1 slice for his lunch as requested, because as my husband stated the locusts devoured the rest. My step son took it to work and heated it in the lunch room microwave pulled it out, and went to get his drink in the front of the grocery store in his h he worked. Unfortunately his boss smelled it and couldn't resist and ate the whole thing. My step son came home from work almost in tears. In the 3 weeks we were there I had to make meatloaf 3 more times, and gave the recipe out many times it was such a hit. Even the store manager in the premade section used the recipe and was selling it in 1lb loaves. I miss my gege every day but I treasure the 3 ring notebook with all her recipes that I made while spending time in the kitchen with her. I add to it all the time when I come across good tried and true recipes giving credit where due. I have 12 grandchildren now and I'm copying each h page and making a binder for each one of them. I dont want anyone fighting over mine when I'm gone. I watch your videos each and every day, and to continually this day I'm still learning, thank yuh ou for all you do and god bless you!👩🍳
@@tmarksatmarks5461 Here is my gege's recipe 2 lbs ground round (I like 90% or leaner less grease drippings) 1 cup finely diced onion 1/2 cup each green and red sweet bell pepper chopped finely 2 cups plain bread crumbs 3 eggs beaten 2 cloves garlic minced or 1 teaspoon chopped garlic 1/2 cup ketchup 1/2 cup bbq sauce (I use KC Masterpiece Original BBQ Sauce) 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning 1 teaspoon ground sage 2 tablspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon dijon mustard Lightly saute onion, peppers and garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil until onions are translucent. In large mixing bowl combine all ingredients until throughly mixed. At this point you can make individual meatballs, individual meatloafs or I usually divide in half and make 2 loaves. We use one for dinner and one for lunches the next days sandwiches. Because of my husband l dont top loafs with anything, but gege's original recipe states to mop 1 tablespoon ketchup on top of loaf. I cook at 350° for about 1 hour, but i always cook until internal temp reads 160° Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. My family loves my meatloaf with homemade sour cream and chive mashed potatoes, mixed steamed vegetables, rolls and a side of mushroom gravy. Hope you enjoy as much as my family does.
@@SleeplessinOC a hungry one I guess. My stepson worked in a supermarket, his boss was one of the deli managers. They did eventually ask for the recipe and used it in deli area in hot foods section
Old seasoned iron skillets make the best ANYTHING! Cornbread, beans baked, loaf, bread pudding, German pancakes, fried potatoes....etc. etc. Best flavor too!
So yummy!! Will be on my regular rotation 😊 Only change I made was topping: 1/2 cup ketchup 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 tsp yellow mustard Apply on top for last 30 min
Your videos are such a blessing! Your recipes are so good and so easy to make. Your love for the Lord shines through and really blesses the viewers. Thank you for your faithfulness and for your commitment to share the love of God! 💕
My mum made homemade plum sauce and I moved to my sisters house going back a few years. The plum sauce was so good in the meatloaf. I still remember tasting it to this day. My Sister passed away 2020. But I still make it with homemade plum sauce. I like Mash potato along with it. God bless you all. Walk with Jesus and you are fine. EDIT: Yeah that was along with the spices and etc and BBQ sauce. I love your channel. I love that you walk with Jesus and the Lord.
This is something I really wanted to learn, a good way to make a large meatloaf. When I make meatloaf, I always use a thermometer. My oven has a provision to use a probe that plugs into the inside of the oven and the meat. When I make a premixed frozen meatloaf to take in our RV, I use a digital oven/grilling temp gage with a heat safe probe. In either case, I set the temp alarm for 155° and then let the meatloaf sit for 10 minutes after removing from the oven to finish cooking. The temp will continue to rise another five to eight degrees during this time. I also leave the probe stuck in the loaf because I found very quickly that if you pull the probe out right away, a bunch of juice will immediately leak out of the hole. Leaving the probe in allows all that juice to stay in the meat loaf and keep it nice and moist. This method works regardless of the size of the meatloaf, and will turn out a no guess moist, perfectly done meatloaf every time.
It’s safe to say Brett is the happiest man on earth right now, and the past 35 years; guys this is the woman you wanna find and keep not some high maintenance woman.
Where do you live because where I live men like you are hard to find ⁉️💯 with an attitude like your’s I’m sure some lucky girl has you in her life ‼️ NOPE I’M NOT HITTING ON YOU I’M 63 too late for me Lol I just read your comment and thought it was a very sweet thing to say and if you aren’t taken yet some girl will be very lucky for the rest of her life 💯 😊
@williamfswann Wow you sound like such a sweetheart of a man because that's about the kindest sweetest and most sensible comment and compliment a man could ever give to a woman's character and very good advice to give to other men as well. If you're married, your wife is a very lucky woman and if you're single, there's some woman in this world that is missing out on a treasure of a mate by not Snatching you up yet. God bless ♥️♥️
Southern cooks know food. I too was raised that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Not to mention when you cook, you know what you have in it. And you have leftovers and save money. And it's healthier and tastes much better. Usually you can make a meal out of stuff in your cabinets. I too use that same garlic she does, but I avoid salt as much as possible because just about everything has salt in it and it's not heart healthy. except dry beans and you have to add a little salt so they absorb water.... the things you learn by doing... lol. Yep, I'm southern and cook.
Meatloaf is comfort food like bbq ....I don't want it healthy I want it as grandma made it which was delicious,full of flavor and would leave you smiling and full. Big meatloaves equal plenty of heavenly sandwiches 😉😉😉😉😉🙏
Mam, I made this recipe last night for my wife and I. It was the BOMB. !!!!!!! and the meatloaf sandwiches at lunch were great. Thanks we enjoy your recipes..
Becky, please always remind people to leave a towel or something on the handle, to make sure that they don't accidentally, while distracted, pick the hot pan up by the handle. Several years back I accidentally did this. I burned my hand so badly. The pain was indescribable! Really enjoy your videos. Thanks so much!
I had been watching a cooking show and the Chef said to always leave s little towel on the handle so you won;t burn yourself. I didn't have a pot holder handy so I used a small towel to lift my pan. All of a sudden the towel lights up in flames. I had to act quick to keep the whole kitchen from burning. The moral of the story is to always use a regulation pot holder on the handles of your pans. Dragging the ends of a towel on to a hot burner "ain't no fun!"
God bless you !! I just wanted to express my appreciation for your post and let you know how much I'm enjoying them and especially sharing the scriptures and a message it's just so refreshing to hear your thoughts... I appreciate you. thank you
13:40 The way Becky is handling that gigantic mixing bowl tells you she's a very experienced cook! If I were to ever try that I guarantee you it wouldn't work out so well!
I made this meatloaf like 8 months back, and it was incredible. I’m hosting family again next week, and I’m making it again for a gathering of 8, so I’ll be making the large 3lb loaf again in my cast iron♥️
Becky, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ because I received one of your survival boxes during the covid quarantine it helped so much so very much. I totally enjoy you for your Christians words that you share and your recipes. You don't only have some great recipes you show great things in regards to making some of the recipes you walk us through. I have picked up some wonderful tips from your show. Thanks so very much, Becky, on the great things you have shared. God Bless You Becky........
Hi from Canada...i live near Niagara Falls/wine country. I feel like a city boy now. I grew up on a fairly big dairy farm...we had visitors everyday....mom would make food for n army out of nothin!....i would look in the fridge n see nothin...yet she made a lot of food. She almost never measured...she just knew. We always had beef , vegs(my brother hated vegs...i caught him once feeding his to the dog lol) , dessert and almost always homemade biscuits from scratch with real butter n jam!!! and church every sunday. Boy i miss moms cooking. My dad passsd away few years ago....mom cannot cook much now. I like meat loaf....this sounds yummy.
Parenting tip: if you want to introduce veggies to your kids and have them like them, give them one or two pieces and while they try it you try a piece and get all happy smiling and enjoying it. You can add dips but kids get interested when you make it taste good. Broccoli when steamed with garlic powder and salt tastes divine. It's all in the presentation and mood. My kids begged for spinach lol. It's really good of seasoned up. Texture people won't like it but if your kids not a texture kid you're gonna have a wonderful young mind to try delicious fresh things😁❤
I just started watching you thank you for the old fashion cooking... this is what i was raised on but never knew what was in things. thank you stay strong and thank you
I have hung onto this video so I could make this meatloaf. Cooking it tonight as we are having friends over to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Thank you Becky for your faithfully wonderful content!
Hello from Australia. I made this tonight for dinner and it was a huge hit with the family. Followed your recipe and it turned out fantastic. So much nicer than the usual way I make a meatloaf. Thank you.
Great tip mixing it with the fork. I always tell myself I'm not going to overmix but invariably do using my hands. Thanks for taking the time to make the viceo.
don't know if you've done a ham loaf yet, but I came across an old recipe for one a while ago and I decided to make it the other day. It was really good and so easy. It's about 2/3 ground ham, and 1/3 ground beef, graham crackers for the filler, and egg. That's it. Then you form it into a loaf on a flat pan or use a loaf pan. Cover and bake. Take out when it's done and spread orange marmalade all over it and put it back in the oven for a few minutes. It was really good! (if you like orange marmalade, that is)
Nummy num! Lots of excellent tips to make my good meatloaf better. I'm from West Virginia and wanted another godly Southern sister's take on one of my favorite dishes.
I just discovered ya all and this dish especially reminded me of my late momma. She passed away back in 2019 and watching this I can remember mom hand mixing the meatloaf while sitting down on the couch. She used rolled oats in hers and a few other things in it. She mixed that by hand for what seemed like several minutes. Now you are stretching me in my imagination in using the Bar B Q sauce. I now live in Texas and in Texas, we LOVE Bar B Que! So I have told my darling wife that we simply must try ya alls meatloaf. Also, I have never seen it made in a cast-iron skillet before. That's new also. I wonder if that changes how thoroughly the meat cooks? Anyway, watching you made me feel like I was a kid again watching my late momma doing it only ya all do it a little different but hey, that's OK. My wife and I were talking while watching this and we will be trying it out.
Sorry for your loss Becky. 💟🙏.I can imagine how much y'all miss Brett.😢💔.I lost my husband Billy on 7/9/2001.My daughter Lorraine was 19 when she lost her dad.U all r n my thoughts & prayers sweetie 🐞I know you all are going through a tough time now.Brett was the center of your lives.He May be gone in body, but not in spirit,hun.You'll see him in something one of your children do,or he'll be remembered in some way that wasn't expected 😘. You'll smell his cologne,hear his voice,feel his presence or even think you see him.These things happened to me I feel blessed to have had him for 24(almost 25 )years.(12/31/2001 would have been 25 years)

I love to sauté my onion and carrots before putting it in the meatloaf mixture. It takes up the flavor a notch and prevents biting into crunchy or raw veggies. Meatloaf is a STAPLE in our house. Found a recipe recently that uses stuffing mix and my goodness it is delicious!!!!!!
I saute the onion and carrots too. Never liked crunchy vegetables in recipes like this. Instead of adding bread or cracker crumbs I added a potato boiled like for mash potatoes, but, no milk or butter or anything with it. I used a ricer to make it smooth. Then mixed it in with eat rest of the meatloaf mixture. It turned out great.
You could micro chop celery and pre-sauté a classic mirepoix….trust me I’m not a huge celery guy at all but there is an earthiness, a bottom note that those TINY pieces add. Which is probably why it’s in classic mirepoix or Italian sofrito ❤️
YES!! I always use carrots too! I don't sauté them though. I shred them. My food processor has a shred disc that makes short work of it, and I do not peel the carrots. The skin adds flavor, nutrition, and fiber to the meatloaf. I sometimes add some shredded spinach to the mix, for nutrition. To stretch it, I have added small pieces, sugar cube size, of potatoes to the mix. I have used: Whole Oatmeal, bread crumbs, saltines, Ritz crackers, cooked rice, corn flakes, potato chips, tortilla chips, fresh bead (broken and soaked in the eggs), stale bagels (toasted hard and into the food processor) etc. In hard times you try to USE all your food before it goes rancid!!!
I know I'm 2 years behind the curve. I have a complaint about your cookbook, it's not long enough. I've read it cover to cover at least twice and enjoyed both the testimony and the recipes. Thank you for all you do, God Bless Ma'am.
I love your recipes. Reminds me of all the good food my granny used to cook. My granny never kept a cook book. I am so thankful for your recipes. I can now cook those wonderful meals for my grandchildren.
Our family loves when I add shredded cabbage or zucchini to meatloaf. A great flavor boost, and adds moisture. Well done! You explained your recipe well!
@Susannolt, 😋 wow thanks for that tip about the shredded cabbage in meatloaf. I've always found that cabbage goes great with stir fry dishes with meat. I absolutely love coleslaw also. But I'm I've never really cooked much and have never done a meatloaf but now have all the ingredients I need except green pepper. Some people don't like green pepper anyway so I might substitute the Cabbage for that. Wish me luck!
This looks so good! Mama, bless her heart, used to try to make meat loaf like this, but hers was so full of grease that the first time I ever had indigestion was from her meat loaf. If I could only have her back again, I would gladly suffer from heart burn. (For the heart knows no worse 'burn' than loosing your dear mother.)
So did my mama..when I started making meatloaf I learned to take the foil off when it was close to down and let it continue to cook and all the grease evaporates..bless your heart.I wish so many times my mom didn’t develop cancer at a early life and I had not been so busy that I didn’t go to grandmas as much as I could have.l
Meat loaf sandwiches were a mainstay for my kids. We loved them. Plus they never knew what was in them as I saved bread crumbs from my home made breads, or oatmeal left over from "race to the school bus" crazy days or a multitude of additives left over... that didn't make it to leftover soup/stew days. Love these videos. Blessings!
Hello, just found your channel. Love the meat loaf recipe but was blessed by your timely christian message from scripture. So nice to have found a christian cooking show. May God bless you for sharing Gods Word. Amen! ❤
I made this for the first time last night for the family. My wife and adult kids loved it. Thank you so much for your time to share such great recipes and for the passion you have doing so. God Bless! BigNate
Me and my husband watches u all the time I love God so much it's good to hear someone else that talking good about Jesus I love him to he's been so good to me and my family
I just bought your cookbook and can’t wait to get it and share it with my son. He loves to cook. Thank you for putting such an effort into this to share with us. YOU are a blessing, Becky. Linda
YEARS ago I got called in to work a second shift before meatloaf could go into the oven. Letting it sit in the fridge over night got rave reviews at supper the next day. Extra time let the flavors work miracles. Potato salad with extra mustard and dill relish went in the fridge with the meat loaf. It was extra tasty as well. That's my signiture trick--let it sit over night, THEN cook it.
I’ll be making this tonight. I tried to make homemade meatloaf in the past, it didn’t turn out the way I expected. Lol ! I’m so glad I found your channel. Good bless you!

I lost my wife back in February of the year. Suddenly, I was alone, and had to cook for myself. I ran across this You Tube channel and immediately fell in love wuth it. I bought an air fryer and started using it to recreate the recipes on this site. I appreciate you, my sister, more than you you will ever know. Your Christian witness has been such an encouragement to me. May God richly bless you. Keep up the good work!
Be grateful for the time you had, but face the future as best you can. I enjoy this lady and her attitude toward how to make cooking work better for more of us.
Dan, so sorry for your loss.
Good bless you brother!
GodBless you Dan 🙏

My husband and I both enjoyed cooking, and we watched these videos together. My husband passed away in November of 2022, and while watching this video he came immediately to my mind. Although I think of him every day, this video reminded me of how much he liked it when I made meatloaf, and I can almost hear him say, 'Let's make that!', which made me smile. During this past year I haven't cooked very much but I'm going to make this meatloaf. Thanks for the memory Hilbilly Kitchen.
My condolences fond memories are always the best are always the best way to turn a frown upside down. I lost my better have in the middle of February this year
@haroldbrooks4235 my condolences go out to you too. I miss my husband everyday, you're so correct though, the fond memories of him do help, they do make me smile, and at times make me literally laugh out loud. Your loss is so recent, please know that you should take whatever time you need to grieve at your own pace. Take care.
I’m so sorry about your husband. I too lost my husband last fall but he would not touch a meat loaf. I come here to learn recipes just for me or sometimes I cook for a neighbor or friend when they come to visit. I have enjoyed eating lots of things he would never eat but I have the memories about the meals he asked me to cook also. I miss him everyday and suspect I always will. 50 years is a long time. Enjoy your meatloaf I know I will mine is in the oven now! 😊
Tell your stories of them..share your memories..little hints of wisdom or funny moments..through remembrance nobody really dies..their just not here right now..we'll be on
You know why I watch? Because of your belief. Your recipes are delicious and traditional too, but there's something to be held up on high for those who preach the Word without judgment or being sanctimonious. Keep on truckin', sister!
Yes I’m a black man from Miami Florida I love your recipes and your walk with God thank you for your great recipe you cook my mom with passion I do turkey meatloaf
These down home cooking vids melt my heart. America's not dead - quite the opposite. We always appreciate good people and good cooking.
I watched for the first time today and really enjoyed it. Thank you and thank God for you. Love Slim
Right on! Never quit believing in America :)
Have a Merry, Merry Christmas!
It is known Baptist love good southern food. The reunions have lady's bring food that restaurant can't match. Pastor Jim is a good cook also among other talents. He sometimes remembers to not run the service over to long so that we can beat the Methodist to Ryan's. ❤️😄👍
@@Justin-fq7vj I grew up in Churches just like that! The most important part was watching over the community, then the get togethers with great cooking.
America is not dead. She still had real Americans and good hearted people.
We are all in this together. I love my country. Amen.
I really enjoy your videos. I’m 73years old and I loved to cook and bake however my vision has gotten to where I can’t read the measurements any longer so I enjoy your video’s when I can. I also like the fact that you share your faith. We serve the same God and He is Great all the time. Keep the faith and keep up the good work. GOD BLESS!!!
Becky, just a tip I was shown, before you put your meatloaf in your pan, line the bottom of your pan with a slice or two of bread then put your meatloaf on top of the bread slices and bake. The bread will soak up the grease & leave you with a perfectly cooked meatloaf without the greasy mess. And the bread slices won't stick to the bottom of your meatloaf (usually).
Wow, thanks for that tip im going to try it
Great tip! BRILLIANT. 😄
I use a burrito size flour tortilla. Works the same way and is the same size as the bottom of the pan.
@@letsgobrandon7567 also brilliant! Name checks out 😂💛
Is it alright to eat the bread? 😁

Oh my word, I'd be sleeping on front porch like an ole hound dog waiting for scraps!
I made this for my father about a year ago, now at least 1x every 2 weeks or so he will buy ground chuck and request a meatloaf. He had never requested anything in all the years i have cooked for him since my mom died. Thank you for a great recipe!

I just found this episode. My husband has been diagnosed with cancer and is in the middle of chemo and radiation. I am terrified. I will read John 1. Thank you and may God bless. ❤
Dear God, one of my favorites!!!! this just takes me right back to my Mom's kitchen. My sister and I as adults would go out to my parents home and spend the day cleaning out the garage, garden shed, mowing, trimming trees, etc (not because they needed help, but because that's what kids do for their parents!)...and about 5:30 p.m....we would sit down to a lovely meatloaf meal and a big glass of the best ice-tea in the world...with homemade whipped mashed potatoes, baby peas, and some wonderful biscuits! Thank you for bringing that wonderful memory back for my sis and I! BTW- you are my most favorite TH-cam chef..hands down!!! We are going to break out the iron skillet and make this meatloaf!
This is the same recipe my mother used
Sounds delicious

I quit eating red meat, now I brown it first. Lol God Bless you, and Thank you for sharing the Gospel, and your recipes!
Your accent is so comforting. I love your meals and especially your prayers. May God bless you abundantly.
As a man fallen from grace and trying to turn around, I thank you for your messaging of God and His power. You are not overbearing about it and that is one thing I very much appreciate. I know what I need to do but the battle Satan's influence in stubborn resistance is strong. I also love food and love learning new recipes. You won a subscriber today.
Hang in there. ❤
remember that Jesus said He would leave the 99 to go find the one!!!! all of Heaven rejoices when someone gives their heart to Jesus!
Whatever your battle is, try not to lose heart.
I will pray for you. Please pray for me also, thank you.
I've just come across your channel and feel truly blessed. I'm almost 64 years old and have never been a good cook. For some reason I can do a good thanksgiving meal but day to day meals... let's just say my husband has been very tolerant. I hope to see more of your videos. Thank you and may the Heavenly Father be with you and your family always.
Women have know how to cook for their men.
I know it’s been a year but I read your comment and totally relate. We go out to eat so much because my brother who lives with me can’t stand my seasoning which is difficult for me. I must have fifty various seasonings and getting ready to get rid of everything except salt and pepper, garlic and onion powder and paprika. Starting with the basics! 😂🤣🙏
I love this channel too. My heart broke for Becky when I found Brett went to be with Jesus. My wife passed on in 2015 so I have been a fan of this channel for quite some time, not just the recipes but the Christian witness is uplifting. God Bless Becky for doing this channel.
After about a year ago I made this recipe; I just put 2 pounder+ of double this recipe in the oven, covered for 2 hours to start. It worked last time and I expect this will go well with some green beans and mashed potatoes. No potatoes for me, I'm not trying to gain anymore weight. Maybe a green salad. This is one of the best recipes I've tried in my 50 years of home making. Thanks so much for your down-home recipes; I've tried many and loved them.
God Bless You and your family for the inspiration to cook meat loaf again. I hadn’t since my mothers passing in 2016 (because I used her recipe😢). However, your patience and pace was just what I needed to try this Again! You mentioned the book of JOHN. well here we go. John 6:35
“Then Jesus said, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.'”
Thank you for reminding me who is always first and loves us unconditionally. Steve
I made this meatloaf last night and it was a big hit. I also made the stewed potatoes and fried corn. Everyone was very content. No complaints. Hubby took leftovers for lunch and said it tasted even better today. Today I made the hamburger buns and flat bread. Turned out beautiful and so good. Thank you for all you do. God bless you and Mr. Brown.
Better the 2nd day, just like pastas!
WOMEN , U, TALK TO MUCH.
For persons gluten allergies, rice can be used as another substitute for the crackers. I usually cook the rice a little before adding to the meatloaf mixture.
use
An Italian mother taught me to always use more eggs than the recipe requires. In meatloaf and in meatballs. So I use twice the eggs that most people use. The meatballs just melt in your mouth and are fluffy. I also mixed everything except the meat together first and then add the meat to the wet mixture and then mix until it's just combined.

My Dad is in assisted living and a Southern man. I regularly make him biscuits, cornbread and greens. My mom made good meatloaf, but I think this recipe would be something Dad would love when the dining room has something he calls weird’. I can see him with a plate of meatloaf sandwiches using biscuits.
I just LOVE meatloaf sandwiches !!! I usually make them with either regular bread or hamburger buns. Have made 'em a few times using biscuits, though, using leftovers after eating the meatloaf with a meal ... I've always liked to put a ketchup and brown sugar glaze on top of my meatloaf during the last few minutes of cooking. And, my favorite "Meatloaf Meal" includes the loaf, some fresh creamed taters, green beans, and, buttermilk biscuits with butter and gravy. I'm wanting to make myself a meatloaf for lunch tomorrow, now ! YUMMM !!! 😋
You won't, unless you take him a meatloaf and some biscuits

Hi! I'm 70yo with three grown children, and I swear I think I have forgotten how to cook. I made this meatloaf with the taters and this made me feel so good.

So glad to see you don't over mix your meatloaf 😊...My mother always made the BEST meatloaf EVER...She always said to make a " Great Meatloaf " you just can't over mix and the less you handle the meat the better the texture. So many people I see on the internet when they are mixing their meatloaf they look like they are making bread kneeding the meat so much and smashing it to mush with their hands. Thanks for bringing this to your viewers attention NOT to over mix.. Great video your demonstration on how to make Meatloaf the proper way. It will certainly ruin a good meatloaf texture when you over mix it...I always use a fork to mix my meat also. 😋
I love on this channel that I can find recipes that are so old nobody can find them anymore and I feel like this woman is extremely blessed that her family is passed them down to her. My mother told me about how my grandmother used to order whole sides of beef and they'd be making homemade Italian sausage for days but my grandmother she would make them in these long strands and cook them in like a spiral filling the entire Skillet on the stove. I've never made homemade sausage but oh my God would I have loved to have been there to do it with my grandmother learn how to do it and then cook it and eat it slice it up throw it in the sauce serve at family style on the table oh boy my mouth is watering thinking about it. But I love being able to find some of these old recipes on this channel and I'm grateful that this woman has this channel.
This is my families favorite. Love all of your videos. LOVE how you let the Lord lead and minister if you feel led. Praise Jesus! PUT GOD FIRST....AMEN!! God bless you. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes and faithfulness to God!!

Appreciate your knowledge share as well as the encouragement to scale up or down the way you do things. Cutting up the size of vegetables in meatloaf, etc.

Luv This dedicated woman. Her love for God is amazing. Her cookiNg skills are excellent.
How awesome that you are helping these people. A beautiful testament to the Lord. What an inspiration.
My mom always made meatloaf with oatmeal, her mom probably did also (they were from Arkansas), I’m allergic to green bell peppers, other colors bother me some also…I can make a 3 lb meatloaf around my family & NOT have any leftovers!!! My now ex daughter-in-law hated meatloaf, but after 6-7 yrs with my son, she finally tried it….she went back for seconds & now makes it herself. My teenage grandson’s would rather have meatloaf then anything else (except maybe pizza) for Christmas dinner!!
Thank you for your video. My mother taught me to make meatloaf, but here's was always to dense and dry. She never put the crackers, that's why...
Sometimes, I make rice meatloaf. I mix about 1.5 lbs ground beef, a can of diced tomatoes, chopped onions and bell peppers, a small can of tomato sauce, salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, worstershire sauce, and 2c. Instant rice, mix together into a loose mixture. Form loaves in a baking dish. In a separate bowl, mix one can of tomato paste, 4oz of water, salt, cayenne, garlic powder and worstershire sauce. Pour over the top of meatloaves. Baked at 350⁰ for an 1.5 hours
PS... Add chopped cabbage to the mixture and have cabbage roll meatloaf. That's the same exact ingredients that we stuff cabbage rolls with...
Made your meatloaf recipe yesterday. My husband loves it! I haven’t made it in years. Just didn’t have a good recipe. So out of frustration I gave up. We both agree making it in the iron skillet is the best! God bless you!
Thank you for all that you do. Life without an oven is hard. God worked through you to help people. Much love.
Your humbleness and sweetness is endearing.

It is August 2024 now, I love your cooking. I am almost 80 years old and I learn something every time I watch you. Love the Verses you do at end of show. I do have your cooking book and I have made this Meatloaf, it’s the best. Well… you are the best.Thank you ❤❤
I just am watching the Tuesday talk and for u to have lost ur husband has hurt my husband and i a lot, u both are valuable to us, we love u and loved ur husband and hugs so much
I enjoy watching your videos and when you read the scriptures and talk about God it is very comforting. God bless you immensely.
I just love the way you cook and your recipe's. My gege gave me her recipe when I was only 16 years old and I still use it today, and it's amazing how your recipe is almost exactly like hers. She also swore by using the cast iron skillet. By chance I found a rectangular pan at an estate sale, and had to get it. It makes perfect slices for sandwiches that the family die for. My husband is from the UK and the first time I made it for him he tried to say NO WAY! His mom made it with half ground mince as they call it and half mutton. He stated that he always hated it and that it was greasy. But like my gege, myself and you we all used ground round or ground chuck. I insisted he give it a try,, he begrudgingly did with a face of sour pickles, but immediately loved it and couldn't get enough of it. He has since made it a requirement in the kitchen that I make it at least once every 2 weeks. When we went to visit family in the UK, he insisted I make it there for them. I made 5lbs of it for 12 people. My step son that lives in the UK begged for a meatloaf sandwich for his lunch at work. I luckily hid 1 slice for his lunch as requested, because as my husband stated the locusts devoured the rest. My step son took it to work and heated it in the lunch room microwave pulled it out, and went to get his drink in the front of the grocery store in his h he worked. Unfortunately his boss smelled it and couldn't resist and ate the whole thing. My step son came home from work almost in tears. In the 3 weeks we were there I had to make meatloaf 3 more times, and gave the recipe out many times it was such a hit. Even the store manager in the premade section used the recipe and was selling it in 1lb loaves. I miss my gege every day but I treasure the 3 ring notebook with all her recipes that I made while spending time in the kitchen with her. I add to it all the time when I come across good tried and true recipes giving credit where due. I have 12 grandchildren now and I'm copying each h page and making a binder for each one of them. I dont want anyone fighting over mine when I'm gone. I watch your videos each and every day, and to continually this day I'm still learning, thank yuh ou for all you do and god bless you!👩🍳
Hi can you share your recipe Please and thankyou will be looking forward to it
@@tmarksatmarks5461
Here is my gege's recipe
2 lbs ground round
(I like 90% or leaner less grease drippings)
1 cup finely diced onion
1/2 cup each green and red sweet bell
pepper chopped finely
2 cups plain bread crumbs
3 eggs beaten
2 cloves garlic minced or
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup bbq sauce
(I use KC Masterpiece Original BBQ Sauce)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon ground sage
2 tablspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
Lightly saute onion, peppers and garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil until onions are translucent.
In large mixing bowl combine all ingredients until throughly mixed. At this point you can make individual meatballs, individual meatloafs or I usually divide in half and make 2 loaves. We use one for dinner and one for lunches the next days sandwiches.
Because of my husband l dont top loafs with anything, but gege's original recipe states to mop 1 tablespoon ketchup on top of loaf.
I cook at 350° for about 1 hour, but i always cook until internal temp reads 160°
Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
My family loves my meatloaf with homemade sour cream and chive mashed potatoes, mixed steamed vegetables, rolls and a side of mushroom gravy.
Hope you enjoy as much as my family does.
Gonna try your recipe too!
Your stepson’s boss ate the meatloaf slice ??? What kind of a boss does that ??
@@SleeplessinOC a hungry one I guess. My stepson worked in a supermarket, his boss was one of the deli managers. They did eventually ask for the recipe and used it in deli area in hot foods section
Old seasoned iron skillets make the best ANYTHING! Cornbread, beans baked, loaf, bread pudding, German pancakes, fried potatoes....etc. etc. Best flavor too!
So yummy!! Will be on my regular rotation 😊
Only change I made was topping:
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp yellow mustard
Apply on top for last 30 min
I love how you tell why you put what you put in the food and not just a list of ingredients. You are so informative and fun to watch 😊
I love your word of our Father God thank you for talking about him🙂😇
Thank you. Becky, for sharing so many delicious recipes, but also for sharing your faith 🙏. God bless you and your family

My mum made homemade plum sauce and I moved to my sisters house going back a few years. The plum sauce was so good in the meatloaf. I still remember tasting it to this day. My Sister passed away 2020. But I still make it with homemade plum sauce. I like Mash potato along with it. God bless you all. Walk with Jesus and you are fine. EDIT: Yeah that was along with the spices and etc and BBQ sauce. I love your channel. I love that you walk with Jesus and the Lord.
This is something I really wanted to learn, a good way to make a large meatloaf. When I make meatloaf, I always use a thermometer. My oven has a provision to use a probe that plugs into the inside of the oven and the meat. When I make a premixed frozen meatloaf to take in our RV, I use a digital oven/grilling temp gage with a heat safe probe. In either case, I set the temp alarm for 155° and then let the meatloaf sit for 10 minutes after removing from the oven to finish cooking. The temp will continue to rise another five to eight degrees during this time. I also leave the probe stuck in the loaf because I found very quickly that if you pull the probe out right away, a bunch of juice will immediately leak out of the hole. Leaving the probe in allows all that juice to stay in the meat loaf and keep it nice and moist. This method works regardless of the size of the meatloaf, and will turn out a no guess moist, perfectly done meatloaf every time.
It’s safe to say Brett is the happiest man on earth right now, and the past 35 years; guys this is the woman you wanna find and keep not some high maintenance woman.
Where do you live because where I live men like you are hard to find ⁉️💯 with an attitude like your’s I’m sure some lucky girl has you in her life ‼️ NOPE I’M NOT HITTING ON YOU I’M 63 too late for me Lol I just read your comment and thought it was a very sweet thing to say and if you aren’t taken yet some girl will be very lucky for the rest of her life 💯 😊

Thank ya! 😊
Amen!

Southern cooks know food. I too was raised that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Not to mention when you cook, you know what you have in it. And you have leftovers and save money. And it's healthier and tastes much better. Usually you can make a meal out of stuff in your cabinets. I too use that same garlic she does, but I avoid salt as much as possible because just about everything has salt in it and it's not heart healthy. except dry beans and you have to add a little salt so they absorb water.... the things you learn by doing... lol. Yep, I'm southern and cook.
Meatloaf is comfort food like bbq ....I don't want it healthy I want it as grandma made it which was delicious,full of flavor and would leave you smiling and full. Big meatloaves equal plenty of heavenly sandwiches 😉😉😉😉😉🙏
Amen!! 😋
You can have BOTH! Healthy and delicious!

Becky, please always remind people to leave a towel or something on the handle, to make sure that
they don't accidentally, while distracted, pick the hot pan up by the handle.
Several years back I accidentally did this. I burned my hand so badly. The pain was indescribable!
Really enjoy your videos. Thanks so much!
Sorry to hear that! I branded myself on a hot stove eye once and I thought I was gonna die. I will remind them. Thank you for watching, God bless you!
I did this just last week. We had to go to the pharmacy. It’s healing, but the blisters were huge. Kathleen, very good advice.
I had been watching a cooking show and the Chef said to always leave s little towel on the handle so you won;t burn yourself. I didn't have a pot holder handy so I used a small towel to lift my pan. All of a sudden the towel lights up in flames. I had to act quick to keep the whole kitchen from burning. The moral of the story is to always use a regulation pot holder on the handles of your pans. Dragging the ends of a towel on to a hot burner "ain't no fun!"
God bless you !! I just wanted to express my appreciation for your post and let you know how much I'm enjoying them and especially sharing the scriptures and a message it's just so refreshing to hear your thoughts... I appreciate you. thank you
13:40 The way Becky is handling that gigantic mixing bowl tells you she's a very experienced cook! If I were to ever try that I guarantee you it wouldn't work out so well!
I made this meatloaf like 8 months back, and it was incredible. I’m hosting family again next week, and I’m making it again for a gathering of 8, so I’ll be making the large 3lb loaf again in my cast iron♥️
Becky, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ because I received one of your survival boxes during the covid quarantine it helped so much so very much. I totally enjoy you for your Christians words that you share and your recipes. You don't only have some great recipes you show great things in regards to making some of the recipes you walk us through. I have picked up some wonderful tips from your show. Thanks so very much, Becky, on the great things you have shared. God Bless You Becky........
Best southern cooking on TH-cam!
I made this last night without the peppers. It was so delicious, and I'm keeping this in my recipe favorites. God bless 🙏
Hi from Canada...i live near Niagara Falls/wine country. I feel like a city boy now.
I grew up on a fairly big dairy farm...we had visitors everyday....mom would make food for n army out of nothin!....i would look in the fridge n see nothin...yet she made a lot of food. She almost never measured...she just knew. We always had beef , vegs(my brother hated vegs...i caught him once feeding his to the dog lol) , dessert and almost always homemade biscuits from scratch with real butter n jam!!! and church every sunday.
Boy i miss moms cooking. My dad passsd away few years ago....mom cannot cook much now.
I like meat loaf....this sounds yummy.
Parenting tip: if you want to introduce veggies to your kids and have them like them, give them one or two pieces and while they try it you try a piece and get all happy smiling and enjoying it. You can add dips but kids get interested when you make it taste good. Broccoli when steamed with garlic powder and salt tastes divine. It's all in the presentation and mood.
My kids begged for spinach lol. It's really good of seasoned up.
Texture people won't like it but if your kids not a texture kid you're gonna have a wonderful young mind to try delicious fresh things😁❤
My mom used sausage and ground beef when she made meatloaf plus crackers and light bread it tasted so good
I just started watching you thank you for the old fashion cooking... this is what i was raised on but never knew what was in things. thank you stay strong and thank you
I have hung onto this video so I could make this meatloaf. Cooking it tonight as we are having friends over to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Thank you Becky for your faithfully wonderful content!
Hello from Australia. I made this tonight for dinner and it was a huge hit with the family. Followed your recipe and it turned out fantastic. So much nicer than the usual way I make a meatloaf. Thank you.
Thank you so much ,I needed to be reminded that worries and fears I should trust in god he will protect and provide for me always
This is, hands-down, the best meatloaf recipe I have tried - period!!
Great tip mixing it with the fork. I always tell myself I'm not going to overmix but invariably do using my hands. Thanks for taking the time to make the viceo.
You are abosulutely Precious! God bless and comfort you always ❤️
I actually made this for the first time last night. It was sooooo good!! My family loves your recipes!
don't know if you've done a ham loaf yet, but I came across an old recipe for one a while ago and I decided to make it the other day. It was really good and so easy. It's about 2/3 ground ham, and 1/3 ground beef, graham crackers for the filler, and egg. That's it. Then you form it into a loaf on a flat pan or use a loaf pan. Cover and bake. Take out when it's done and spread orange marmalade all over it and put it back in the oven for a few minutes. It was really good! (if you like orange marmalade, that is)
Nummy num! Lots of excellent tips to make my good meatloaf better. I'm from West Virginia and wanted another godly Southern sister's take on one of my favorite dishes.
I just discovered ya all and this dish especially reminded me of my late momma. She passed away back in 2019 and watching this I can remember mom hand mixing the meatloaf while sitting down on the couch. She used rolled oats in hers and a few other things in it. She mixed that by hand for what seemed like several minutes. Now you are stretching me in my imagination in using the Bar B Q sauce. I now live in Texas and in Texas, we LOVE Bar B Que! So I have told my darling wife that we simply must try ya alls meatloaf. Also, I have never seen it made in a cast-iron skillet before. That's new also. I wonder if that changes how thoroughly the meat cooks? Anyway, watching you made me feel like I was a kid again watching my late momma doing it only ya all do it a little different but hey, that's OK. My wife and I were talking while watching this and we will be trying it out.
Sorry for your loss Becky. 💟🙏.I can imagine how much y'all miss Brett.😢💔.I lost my husband Billy on 7/9/2001.My daughter Lorraine was 19 when she lost her dad.U all r n my thoughts & prayers sweetie 🐞I know you all are going through a tough time now.Brett was the center of your lives.He May be gone in body, but not in spirit,hun.You'll see him in something one of your children do,or he'll be remembered in some way that wasn't expected 😘.

I love to sauté my onion and carrots before putting it in the meatloaf mixture. It takes up the flavor a notch and prevents biting into crunchy or raw veggies.
Meatloaf is a STAPLE in our house.
Found a recipe recently that uses stuffing mix and my goodness it is delicious!!!!!!
I saute the onion and carrots too. Never liked crunchy vegetables in recipes like this. Instead of adding bread or cracker crumbs I added a potato boiled like for mash potatoes, but, no milk or butter or anything with it. I used a ricer to make it smooth. Then mixed it in with eat rest of the meatloaf mixture. It turned out great.
It all sounds delicious. And fattening.
You could micro chop celery and pre-sauté a classic mirepoix….trust me I’m not a huge celery guy at all but there is an earthiness, a bottom note that those TINY pieces add. Which is probably why it’s in classic mirepoix or Italian sofrito ❤️
YES!! I always use carrots too! I don't sauté them though. I shred them.
My food processor has a shred disc that makes short work of it, and I do not peel the carrots. The skin adds flavor, nutrition, and fiber to the meatloaf.
I sometimes add some shredded spinach to the mix, for nutrition.
To stretch it, I have added small pieces, sugar cube size, of potatoes to the mix.
I have used: Whole Oatmeal, bread crumbs, saltines, Ritz crackers, cooked rice, corn flakes, potato chips, tortilla chips, fresh bead (broken and soaked in the eggs), stale bagels (toasted hard and into the food processor) etc. In hard times you try to USE all your food before it goes rancid!!!
I know I'm 2 years behind the curve. I have a complaint about your cookbook, it's not long enough. I've read it cover to cover at least twice and enjoyed both the testimony and the recipes. Thank you for all you do, God Bless Ma'am.
I love your recipes. Reminds me of all the good food my granny used to cook. My granny never kept a cook book. I am so thankful for your recipes. I can now cook those wonderful meals for my grandchildren.
Our family loves when I add shredded cabbage or zucchini to meatloaf. A great flavor boost, and adds moisture. Well done! You explained your recipe well!
@Susannolt, 😋
wow thanks for that tip about the shredded cabbage in meatloaf. I've always found that cabbage goes great with stir fry dishes with meat. I absolutely love coleslaw also. But I'm I've never really cooked much and have never done a meatloaf but now have all the ingredients I need except green pepper. Some people don't like green pepper anyway so I might substitute the Cabbage for that. Wish me luck!
She's just like Lorfeather Lynn🤗 I mean
Little Fiddle Lynn🤗 I mean

Love that “put God first!” and the recipe too.
my parents used to use ground beef, ground pork and ground turkey. I didnt eat pork, so I left that one out. I want to try this skillet method.
This looks so good! Mama, bless her heart, used to try to make meat loaf like this, but hers was so full of grease that the first time I ever had indigestion was from her meat loaf. If I could only have her back again, I would gladly suffer from heart burn. (For the heart knows no worse 'burn' than loosing your dear mother.)
So did my mama..when I started making meatloaf I learned to take the foil off when it was close to down and let it continue to cook and all the grease evaporates..bless your heart.I wish so many times my mom didn’t develop cancer at a early life and I had not been so busy that I didn’t go to grandmas as much as I could have.l
Right cheri, then I put some ketchup on it and put it back in to get it done.

Looking Good. Meal, good afternoon
I would eat a whole bucket of grease if it would give me ma back 😢
Meat loaf sandwiches were a mainstay for my kids. We loved them. Plus they never knew what was in them as I saved bread crumbs from my home made breads, or oatmeal left over from "race to the school bus" crazy days or a multitude of additives left over... that didn't make it to leftover soup/stew days. Love these videos. Blessings!
Hello, just found your channel. Love the meat loaf recipe but was blessed by your timely christian message from scripture. So nice to have found a christian cooking show. May God bless you for sharing Gods Word. Amen! ❤
I made this for the first time last night for the family. My wife and adult kids loved it. Thank you so much for your time to share such great recipes and for the passion you have doing so. God Bless! BigNate
Me and my husband watches u all the time I love God so much it's good to hear someone else that talking good about Jesus I love him to he's been so good to me and my family
I just bought your cookbook and can’t wait to get it and share it with my son. He loves to cook. Thank you for putting such an effort into this to share with us. YOU are a blessing, Becky.

YEARS ago I got called in to work a second shift before meatloaf could go into the oven. Letting it sit in the fridge over night got rave reviews at supper the next day. Extra time let the flavors work miracles. Potato salad with extra mustard and dill relish went in the fridge with the meat loaf. It was extra tasty as well. That's my signiture trick--let it sit over night, THEN cook it.
I mix my dressing up the night before, like Christmas eve, and cook it the next day.
How smart! I will definitely try it!!! Thank you.
I just began a few weeks ago watching your channel, I love it God is with me
I’ll be making this tonight. I tried to make homemade meatloaf in the past, it didn’t turn out the way I expected. Lol ! I’m so glad I found your channel. Good bless you!
