Re: Favorite meatloaf recipe?

David Venable has a good recipe for: LilBitMiss­ty

Meat Loaf With Mashed Potato Topping

Meat Loaf:

2 lbs ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 envelope dry onion soup mix
2 large eggs
2 slices of day-old white bread, torn into small pieces
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Gravy:

1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup onion, diced
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 cup beef broth
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Potatoes:

2-1/2 cups hot mashed potatoes
1 cup Gruyére cheese
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
To make the meat loaf, use your hands to combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, soup mix, eggs, bread, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper in a large bowl. For tender meat loaf, don't over mix. Put the mixture in a 9'' x 5'' x 3'' loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour.
While the meat loaf is baking, make the gravy. To make the gravy, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 Tbsp water in a small dish and then add to the onion. Whisk in the beef broth and cook for 1 minute, until the gravy thickens. Whisk in the salt and pepper. Keep the gravy warm over low heat.
Remove the meat loaf from the oven and carefully drain off the liquid that has accumulated in the pan. Spread the mashed potatoes on top of the meat loaf and sprinkle on the Gruyére. Return the meat loaf to the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes more, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle reads 165°F. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the warm gravy.

Re: Favorite meatloaf recipe?

 

I'm always looking for newer and newer meatloaf recipes because I like a  meatloaf with lots of things in it, not just meat, onions , bread and a couple of things. Most basic meat loaves of America don't have a whole lot else in them. I want TASTY !!! But I don't want to take an hour to make it either, lol !

 

Anyone have such a recipe ???

 

 

Thanks !

Re: Favorite meatloaf recipe?

Just made a new recipe to try tonight.
11/2lbs meatloaf mix
3/4 cup grated sharp cheddar
1oz pack of dry onion soup mix
2 eggs
1/4 cup ketchup
2 TBS steak sauce
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup buttery crackers, crushed ( I used oatmeal as I didn't have crackers)

Mix together well and shape into loaf on foil lined baking tray. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. It doesn't call for a glaze but I'm going to add one, maybe barbecue sirracha sauce or ketchup/ mustard/ brown sugar.

Re: Favorite meatloaf recipe?

Actually I wasn't crazy about this one above. It had a greasy texture, I think it was the cheese. Probably wouldn't make it again.

This Sweet and Sour Meat Loaf is my go to meat loaf recipe.  You can increase or decrease the amount of sugar and/or vinegar to make the topping as sweet or sour as you like.

 

Sweet and Sour Meat Loaf

6 Servings

 

1 1/2 lb. ground beef

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce

1 cup oats (uncooked)

2 eggs

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

 

Topping:

 

1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce

2 Tbsp. brown sugar

2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar (I use 1 Tbsp.)

1/2 cup sugar (I use 1/4 cup)

2 tsp. Dijon mustard

 

Combine meat loaf ingredients in a large bowl.  Mix well and put in a greased baking pan.  Bake at 350° for 50 minutes.  Combine topping ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil.  Pour over meat loaf and bake an additional 10 minutes.
