Banana Meatloaf

Source of Recipe

Adapted from Treasured Southern Family Recipes


Recipe Introduction

When I saw bananas in a meatloaf, I really wondered how it would taste. But, since I had some over ripe bananas waiting to be used, I tried it and it was great. My family had no clue there were bananas in it.

List of Ingredients

1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 tbsp dried onion flakes
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2/3 c quick oats
1 tsp dried bell pepper flakes
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
3 mashed bananas
2 large eggs
2 tsp prepared mustard
1/4 to 1/3 c milk, as needed




Recipe

Mix all ingredients together and really work it until well combined. Add milk as needed.
Shape into a loaf shape.
Bake in a 375 oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until done.

If desired, top as you would your favorite meatloaf.

Notes:
I used dried flakes for onions, bell peppers and parsley.
I used 3 small to medium bananas.
I like to bake meatloaf on a raised rack so it does not sit in it's own fat as it bakes.
