Cooks Country Meatloaf Recipes

COUNTRY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• In medium frying pan over medium heat, saute onion and celery until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Into large bowl, tear bread into small pieces.
• Add onion mixture, ground beef, carrot,salt,pepper,egg, and 1/2 of tomato sauce and mix well with a spoon.
• Turn mixture into a meatloaf pan( I use one with an insert that lets any grease drip to the bottom of the pan) and shape into a loaf.
• If not using a meatloaf pan, in a 12" by 8" baking dish, shape mixture into a 8" by 4" loaf.
• In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, and remaining tomato sauce.
• Spoon mixture evenly over meatloaf in pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
• Serve meatloaf warm or cover and refrigerate to serve cold later.

COOKS COUNTRY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 Heat oil in med. skillet - add onion and garlic and saute until softened, about 5 min. Set aside to cool while preparing remaining ingredients. Mix eggs with thyme, salt, pepper,mustard, worchestershire sauce, pepper, pepper sauce, and milk. Add egg mixture to meat in large bowl with crackers, parsley, and cooked onion mixture. Mix until evenly blended and meat mixture does not stick to bowl. If it sticks add additional milk a few tbsp at a time, until no longer sticks. Shape into loaf on cookie sheet lined with foil for easy clean-up. Brush with half of the glaze and arrange bacon slices over top tucking ends under loaf. Bake until bacon is crisp and internal temp is 160 (about an hour). I found that it took longer at 375. Cool 20 min. Simmer remaining glaze until slightly thickened. Slice meatloaf and serve with extra glaze.
