Actually I don't use plain ketchup, that's a mixure of ketchup with Lea
& Perrins Worstershire, fresh ground white pepper, and a little
granulated garlic. It may look over cooked but it's very moist inside
because with the five pounds of chuck I also ground in two huge
potatoes, two onions, two big carrots, a celery heart, and a fistful of
parsley, then added eight eggs... was very moist. I say "was" because
all that's left is an end. My cats love it too. And I purposely over
cook the asparagus because Jilly loves them and otherwise they are too
stringy for her... she bites off all the tips, her favorite.
To enjoy meat loaf you really need to grind your own ... I don't know
how anyone can swallow that preground mystery meat.
