Preparation

Step 1

Place all of your ingredients into a large mixing bowl.

Now we need to mix this up. There are several ways of doing this but my favorite is to use my hands. This is by far the most efficient and quickest way to get a meatloaf mixed up . For anyone horrified at the thought of this I want to point out that

Just give ‘em a good wash, dig in and mix this up, then wash them again. Voila! Clean hands AND meatloaf!

When it’s all mixed up it will look like this.

We make them doughnut shaped because this helps the center to get cooked quicker, so we don’t end up having to burn the outer edges while waiting on the center to cook. I do regular hamburgers this way, too.

Place these in a large skillet over medium high heat until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes on each side.

Then, add 1 cup water to the skillet and continue cooking until juices run clear, about five minutes more.

Place a large skillet over medium heat while you prepare the meatloaf.

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix with hands until well mixed. Form into 4 doughnut shaped patties.

Place in heated skillet and brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Add 1 cup water to skillet and continue cooking until juices run clear, about 5 minutes or so.
