My Marvelous Meatloaf Recipes

MY MARVELOUS MEATLOAF

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, pour milk over bread and set aside.
• 2. Drizzle olive oil in a skillet, heat to to a med high and add mushrooms and onions, season with salt and pepper, saute until caramelized 5-8 minutes, stir in garlic. Set aside to cool. I pour out onto a dinner plate and spread around so it cools faster.
• 3. Squeeze milk from bread and crumble into a large bowl, disgard milk. Add meats, mushroom mixture, worcetershire sauce, eggs, cheese, 1 1/2t salt and 1/2t pepper and mix well. Divide mixture among 2 large loaf pans. Bake at 375 for 45 min.
• 4. Mix together brown sugar and ketchup divide and spread over top each loaf, I like to drain fat off loafs before adding ketchup topping. But not needed. Then put back in oven another 15-20 min. Remove from oven...let rest 10 min. then remove from pan onto a platter, I use 2 flipper type spatulas, one on each end to lift out of the pans.
• 5. I've also done many little things to this meatloaf: ~add cooked wild rice and crasins ~add crumbled blue cheese ~topped with cocktail sauce instead of the ketchup mixture...(cocktail sauce is mainly ketchup and horseradish) ~added thyme and shredded swiss ~added smoked paprika ~added spinach and artichoke ~I have even shaped the meat mixture into 8 lil loaves, place in a 9x13 pan, and poured a large jar of sauerkraut over top then baked it...toward the end sprinkle with shredded swiss and bake until golden... ~added a small can of italian tomato paste to mixture

• In small mixing bowl add the eggs, milk, garlic, Worcestershire sauce & Garlic Plus seasoning, stirring constantly until blended well.
• Using a large mixing bowl, dump in the mixed ingredients from the small bowl and add the diced onion, corn flake crumbs and chili sauce, mixing well.
• The apple cider vinegar, brown sugar and ketchup are for the sauce. DON'T mix them in with meatloaf.
• Last, using clean hands mix the beef and pork into the bowl, continuing until all ingredients are well combined.

• Place back in the oven and bake for another 20-30 minutes, or until the meat loaf is pulling away from the sides of the pan. (Meatloaf should be 140°F at centre.).

MEATLOAF RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Oil or spray a loaf tin. (Note 3)
• Glaze: Mix together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Meatloaf: Place breadcrumbs in a very large bowl. Grate over onion. Mix so the breadcrumbs are all wet. (Note 4)
• Add remaining ingredients. Mix well using your hands. Form into a loaf shape, pinching together then smoothing over creases and cracks (helps prevent cracks during baking).
• Transfer into loaf tin. Brush generously with glaze, using about 1/2.
• Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with most of the remaining glaze. If there is excess fat pooling, scoop/pour it off.
• Bake for a further 30 minutes. Remove from oven.
• Stand for 10 minutes before turning out and cutting into thick slices. You will probably get a bit of crumbling just on the edges of the first couple of slices, this is normal and indicative of the tenderness of the meatloaf (zero crumble indicates firm packed harder meatloaf which isn't as enjoyable!).
• Ideal served with a dollop of ketchup, creamy mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
