What did I do wrong ?

On 12/19/2003 8:39 PM Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these
great (and sometimes not so great) words of knowledge:

Thank you for the replies.

From what has been said, there are a couple of things I will do in the future - Use a leaner ground
beef, reduce the amount of bread crumbs, add some potato, and sauté the onions and celery first.

As far as seeing a doctor - I do see one on a regular basis. In almost 60 years I have had acid
indigestion perhaps 10 times (and about 7 of them were when I was in my 20's and 30's [too much
party time {:-) ]

Thank you again for the help and have a Happy and Safe Holiday.

I made meat loaf the other night that has been giving me acid indigestion that you would not
believe.

2 1/2 lbs 15% ground sirloin
3/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
1/2 cup oatmeal 2 eggs
1/2 jar Ragu meat spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion 1 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. cummen
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

Cooked at 350 for 50 minutes(covered) and 10 minutes @ 400 uncovered. Drained the fat from the pan
and put on a rack for another 5 minutes. Put on the serving platter and sprinkled some parmesan
cheese on the top before slicing and serving.

Came out moist and flavorful, BUT, gave acid indigestion. Any suggestions on where I went wrong or
what I can do to minimize/eliminate this in the future ?

Thanks, Ted

Yes. Go on low carb and you will eliminate acid indigestion forever.

I don't know where you get that, but I only get predictable heartburn from tunafish.

I have been on Atkins for years and my acid indigestion is completely gone.

It returns ten-fold if I go off the diet.

I have found that sometimes when I include onions they are not totally cooked and that will give me
indigestion. Wayne

This would do me the same as you.
