Summertime Stove Top Meatloaf Recipes

Steps:

• In a dutch oven, combine the tomato sauce, water and tomatoes. Mix well. Sauce should be diluted until like soup. You want 2-3 inches of liquid in pot. Add the bay leaves.
• In a bowl combine and mix well: the ground sirloin, onion, carrots, and eggs. Sprinkle the flour over the meat to hold everything together. Add seasonings to taste. Mix well.
• Shape the meat mixture into three "loaves" or balls. Place in Dutch oven.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer slowly, covered, about 1-1/2 hours or until done. Check occasionally to make sure sauce is not getting real thick. Add water as necessary.
• This freezes nicely.

Steps:

• Mix together the first four ingredients.
