I love a Bloody Mary cocktail, and while I understand some purists insist that we keep it simple, I like to have fun with it, depending on my mood. I have added chopped clams, Clamato juice, fresh horseradish, until it tastes well-balanced. Imagine my delight at discovering a meatloaf recipe calling for a delicious Bloody Mary mix!
We trust you to make your favorite meatloaf recipe, and…you guessed it…add this secret ingredient — Spicy Bloody Mary Mix from The Casserole Queens Make-a-Meal Cookbook. The recipe here makes enough to serve six for drinks. Use about a half-cup in the meatloaf, assuming about two pounds of ground meat two eggs. Drink the leftover “Mary” with or without vodka. Killer.
