This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 3)

• Cheryl's Recipe Corner!
• Killer Meatloaf

• Ingredients
• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
• 3/4 - 1 cup crushed buttery round crackers (be creative- Cheese-Its or other crackers work well, too!)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup Minced Onion
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons steak sauce (or use BBQ, worcestershire- whatever you like!)
• THIN sliced baconBrewer's Notes
• A few slices of bread

• Directions
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir the ground beef, crushed crackers, Cheddar cheese, and onion in a large bowl until well combined. Whisk the eggs, ketchup, and steak sauce in a separate bowl until smooth. Mix the egg mixture into the meat until evenly combined, if the mixture seems too dry, add a little water. Put bread slices in bottom of pan to help absorb grease (throw away after loaf is done cooking!).  Form mixture into a loaf, drape bacon pieces over it- and place into a 9x5 inch loaf pan.  Apply glaze. Bake in preheated oven until the meatloaf reaches 160 degrees F and is no longer pink in the center, 45 to 60 minutes.

• Glaze Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons prepared mustard
• 1/3 cup ketchup

• Glaze Directions
• Mix together well.  Put 1/2 on before baking.  Put other 1/2 on about halfway through the baking time.

• Bill's Whatever Corner
• Jeremiah Johnson Brewing Imperial IPA

• Brewer's Notes
• Our Imperial IPA is the perfect bridge between Northwest and Northeast styles. It’s an in your face hop-forward beer with balanced bitterness. We use CTZ, Mosaic, and Idaho 7 hops to create tropical notes of fresh cut mango and floral flavors which rounds out the beer with a slight haze for a smooth mouth feel. 
• Cost:  $7 (WinCo)
