Barnyard Trio Meatloaf Recipes

MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a stand mixer, mix the beef, cracker crumbs, egg, ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, and onion until just blended. Shape the mixture into two loaves and place side by side crosswise in a 9-by-13-by-2-inch pan. Bake the loaves for 1 hour, or until they are browned. Transfer to a platter immediately and allow the loaves to cool slightly and firm up before slicing.
• For sandwich: cut 2 thick slices of cooled meatloaf and place on white bread with lettuce and tomato. If you've never had a cold meatloaf sandwich the next day, you don't know what you're missing

BARNYARD TRIO MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Mix Tomato Sauce and Seasoning Blend in a separate bowl.
• Combine the ground meats, onion, egg whites, oatmeal, peppers, parsley and HALF of the tomato sauce.
• Pat into two 9 x 5 loaf pans.
• Spread the remaining tomato sauce on top.
• Bake 50 - 60 minutes.

CLASSIC MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place bread in food processor; pulse until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in milk. Set aside, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine beef, pork, onion, garlic, egg, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add bread-milk mixture, and mix very gently with a fork (do not overmix).
• Place meat mixture on prepared baking sheet, and form into a loaf about 9 inches long and 4 to 5 inches wide.
• Bake, brushing twice with remaining 1/4 cup ketchup during baking, until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees, 45 to 55 minutes. Let meatloaf rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

MIXED MEAT MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Mix the ground beef, eggs,and Jimmy Dean Sage Sausage in a large bowl by kneading the meats together with your hands.
• Add spices (You CAN adjust to taste!) and Worcestersire Sauce and knead the meats again.
• Knead into the meat mixture the Minute Rice. This will be rough, but take your time so it is easier on your hands. The rice is a replacement for breadcrumbs in most recipes, so it will help absorb fat and serve as a filler.
• In a large baking pan or Pyrex baking dish, set the meat mixture in and mold it to fill the dish, leaving at least a 1/2 to 1 inch gap between the meat and the sides of the dish. I use a very large Pyrex baking dish.
• Lay the bacon slices over the top of the meatloaf, evenly spaced. Use what you prefer, just so it adds to the flavor of the meat.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for at least 90 minutes. This is a heavy weight meatloaf and you want it to cook through. You can check like I do by slicing about halfway through the thickness to be sure the meat is no longer pink. Remember you are also using pork in this.
• Let the meatloaf cool for about 5 minutes after you take it out of the oven. Set it on a large meat plate (remember it is HEAVY) and slice to desired thicknesses and serve with side dishes such as mashed potatoes and vegetables for a more traditional meal.
• NOT a diet food, so if you are looking for pure traditional comfort, enjoy!

3 MEAT MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Saute onion till softened. Then add the garlic and thyme.
• In a separate bowl, combine the meats until thoroughly mixed. Add breadcrumbs and onion mixture. Mix well.
• In a small bowl, combine the milk, egg, and ketchup. Add to the meat mixture. Mix well.
• Shape into a loaf and place in a meatloaf pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 90 minutes or until the internal temp is 180 degrees.

CLASSIC MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pulse bread in a food processor until finely ground. (You should have about 2 1/2 cups breadcrumbs.) Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Pulse garlic, onion, celery, carrot, and parsley in food processor until finely chopped. Add to breadcrumbs. Add meats, egg, 1/4 cup ketchup, the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; mix together using your hands. Transfer mixture to a 5-by-9-inch loaf pan.
• Stir together remaining 1/2 cup ketchup and the brown sugar until smooth; brush onto meat. Set pan on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 160 degrees, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.

MIXED MEAT MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Saute onions in the oil until soft and translucent, on a low heat. When onions are cooked, add the garlic and cook until the garlic is soft. Set aside to cool.
• Crush the Crispix and Cheez-Its.
• Mix together the meat, eggs, Cheez-Its, Crispix, hoisin sauce, pepper, salt, and sauteed onions and garlic. Best way is to mix it with your hands and not pack it too tightly. You want to get it mixed well but not squeeze it together too much.
• Form a loaf in either a loaf pan or in a mound on a cookie sheet. You can make meatloaf muffins in a muffin pan, if preferred, or just small meatloaves on a cookie sheet. Do not tightly pack the extra down. If there's extra after filling a loaf pan, make small meatloaves on a cookie sheet. (Can either make 2 loaf pans, 2 cookie sheets of individual meatloaves, or a mix of the two.).
• For the glaze, mix together the can of tomato paste, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and remaining seasonings. Adjust cayenne for preferred heat level. Generously glaze meatloaf. You may not use it all up.
• Bake at 350 for 45 - 60 minutes. If making individual loaves with a loaf pan, it is recommended that you put the loaf pan into the oven first for 15 minutes then add the cookie sheet with the smaller loaves in for the remaining 45 minutes.

THREE-MEAT MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Oil a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Place the onion and carrots into a saucepan, and pour in the beef broth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and reduce heat to a simmer; cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Set the veggies and broth aside.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs, and stir in bread crumbs, basil, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to stand for 5 minutes to moisten the crumbs, and lightly mix in the turkey, beef, and pork sausage. Mix in the cooked onions, carrots, and beef broth. Place the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. In a bowl, mix the tomato soup, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard together, and spread the mixture over the meat loaf.
• Bake until the loaf is no longer pink in the center and an instant-read meat thermometer reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 1 1/2 hours.
