MeatloafJim Davidson is not only the Master Developer of World Golf Village he is also a spectacular chef! Once a month he spoils us at our Friday Cookout, so we wanted to spoil you by giving away some of his secrets. Here is one of his great recipes to try at home:

Jim’s World Famous Meatloaf

 2-1/2 lbs Ground Meat (Beef or Venison) If beef, use lowfat
1-1/2 lbs Ground Pork
1 Fine Chopped Large Onion
1 15oz. can Hunts Tomato Sauce
1 14oz. can Diced Tomato (Drain Juice)
2 Large or XL Eggs beaten
Dust meat with Goya Adobo All Purpose Seasoning
Dust  meat with Black Pepper
Light Dust meat with Salt
10-20 drops Louisiana Hot Sauce
20+ drops A1 Sauce
½ cup Progresso Bread Crumbs – Plain
Ketchup swirl on top of each Meatloaf
Makes 2 – 10” x 6” x 2” Meatloafs – When you put each loaf in pan make sure that meat doesn’t touch any sides of pan.
Put in Aluminum Pans – 12” x 10-1/2”
Preheat oven 350°, cook uncovered on top shelf for approximately 2 hours or until 160° – 180°. May take a little less time.
Remember: This is a “Hands On” recipe. I wouldn’t recommend using your feet “like with grapes” but you MUST make sure every ingredient is thoroughly mixed.

Jim Davidson web CJim Davidson, Master Developer of World Golf Village, has been through tough real estate markets before. In fact, he finds the parallels between the real estate market woes of the 1970s and today especially compelling.  Back then, his no-nonsense, analytical approach to value assessment and debt-to-equity balancing helped real estate developers navigate through tough times. That same approach has ensured Davidson Development’s ongoing success even through recent tough times.  It’s also sought after by other developers who consult Davidson to fix their own balance sheets. According to Davidson, “Everyone knows the real estate industry has cycles. That’s no secret.  The key is realizing that every new cycle is a game changer. So you must be able to look at every project with a fresh, focused eye.” Read more
