if it already sells well why even change it

Just remove 5 egg whites if the flavor is good
You have beyond enough protein for binding so just start cutting down the useless liquid

>>20151543
Old recipes like that are awesome. The foundation of mom and pop restaurants. Don't fuck with it.

>>20151543
Replace onion and garlic powder with real onion and garlic.

>>20151543
get rid of the oatmeal for any kind of bread crumb get rid of the salsa ketchup brown sugar and buscuits....there you go

>6 cups oatmeal
This might legally be classified as oatmeal with beef and not meatloaf

Replace beef with 10 lbs of textured vegetable protein, and replace the eggs with 10 tablespoons of soy lecithin

>>20151543
>>20151567
p.s. maybe add some parmesan and some parsley

>>20151543
Remove the oatmeal and biscuits and replace with a 1/4 the amount in psyllium husk. Psyllium actually acts as a great binder in meatloaf and meatballs, everyone that has tried mine love it. You'll shit your guts out after but by then they will have already left your restaurant.

>green peppers in meatloaf

>>20151543

mix chipotles in adobo into the ketchup glaze
replace oatmeal/biscuits with saltines, cheese-its or other crackers. or buy savory style prepared breadcrumbs
omit salsa, sugar, and ketchup from meat mix

>>20151543
I've only made meatloaf with meat, onions, french onion soup mix, bread crumbs and wostershire sauce.

Oatmeal, salsa, biscuits? What's uhhhh, is... is this real cooking of a loaf of meat? Oats? What uhh, huh? Multigrain meatloaf? Maybe add some rye? Poppy seeds? Opium?

>>20151543
Keep the recipe as is. Some old cunt is gonna walk in an order the loaf and find someone fucked his birthday meal. Make somethin new if ya want to be creative.

With just a quick glance I don't see how this would be like pudding. The wet to dry ratio doesn't seem that far off, and 10 eggs for 10 pounds of beef should get the job done. Also, "head cook" isn't a real position. Two-thirds of the kitchen staff thinks they're the head cook in most places.

>>20151543
I suggest you look for a different kitchen

>>20151543
>So I scored a head cook gig at a local southern comfort food restaurant, and the meatloaf recipe is pants on head retarded, more like pudding than any meatloaf I’ve ever had. I’m looking for ways to improve it while retaining the same amount of beef (10lbs split between two pans)
Everybody just loves the new guy that waltzes in and says "I know how to do things better than everyone else, even though I obviously have no experience of any kind"

Make your own dish. I'd recommend cooking Nutraloaf and calling it Back to the Slammer Special.

>>20151543
Yeh people are already coming here because they like the slop. Don't give your input or try to poz it up with meme ingredients you think belong
Also
>ketchup
Pure AIDS

>>20151543
I replace the ketchup with bbq sauce and steak sauce for the glaze, gives it a nice tang.

My mom used to make loaf with oatmeal, I think it holds it all together. My wife said it's fucking gross so I don't do it anymore.

>>20152064
Crushed saltines or panko.

I'll probably be called out for saying this, but does anyone else think it is weird that pork is not on the list of ingredients?

>>20152069
Half pork sausage and half ground beef is good.

>>20152069
It's poorfag cope when you cant afford beef but it's alright.

>>20152069
What if we add sheep too. A multigrain chimera loaf.

>>20152093
>It's poorfag cope when you cant afford beef but it's alright.
Beef is actually cheaper than minced pork where I live

>>20152093
>ingredient is bad because it's cheap
Man cooklets are obnoxious.

>>20151543
no, do your own job

>>20151778
Nobody asked for low grade poor people ethnic meatloaf.

>>20151778
That's a good way to ruin a meat loaf.

I can already see the google or yelp reviews about some Californian faggot changing the meatloaf recipe.
Within 6 months the beloved restaurant is closed.

>>20151543
Replace everything with a liter of horse semen.

>>20151543
> People ITT actually defending this

>>20151543
ground sausage in meat loaf is a necessity

>>20151561
You're kidding right? Right?

>>20151543
Salsa??

They probably want to use the biscuits so that's why they're in

>>20151543
drop the peppers, carmelize the onions first, cut back on the eggs, half the brown sugar and ketchup, drop the salsa completely. should be good to go after that

>>20151543
While that sounds horrid, your job is to cook, not have opinions. You want to do your own thing then start your own restaurant or buy the owners out.

>>20151543
stealing this recipe thanks, dropping the ketchup

>>20151543
Go to the beef website and search their recipes for meatloaf
They're all crowdpleasers

>>20152317
>Waiter, are you sure this is meat loaf? It looks suspiciously like 16 liters of horse semen

>>20153932
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF SOME FAT FUCK WHOS ONLY CHRISTIAN ON SUNDAYS AND WHEN IT INVOLVES RAPEFUGEES CAME TO WHERE *YOU* WORKED AND TRIED TELLING *YOU* HOW TO DO *YOUR* JOB!?

>>20151543
You change that recipe and the locals complain, you'll be the former head cook, after they throw you out a window. Cooking, or IT, or construction - the New Guys always think they know better.
