Sweet And Savory Meatloaf With Sweet And Tangy Glaze Recipes

CLASSIC MEATLOAF WITH SWEET AND TANGY GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• If using a loaf pan, spray it with nonstick cooking spray. If using a sheet pan, line it with foil.
• Combine breadcrumbs and milk in a large bowl and set aside to soak.
• Combine onions, carrots, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped (the largest pieces should be about the size of a pea). (Note: If you prefer, you can also finely chop these by hand.)
• Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium heat.
• Add onions, carrots, and garlic with a pinch of salt.
• Saute until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
• Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
• To breadcrumbs and milk, add beef, egg, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
• Top with cooked carrots and onions.
• Using your hands, gently mix everything together until just combined. (Try not to over mix or this will make your meatloaf more tough.)
• Gently shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape and transfer to loaf pan or sheet pan.
• Transfer meatloaf to oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes (use an instant read thermometer if you have it - the center will register 155°F when the meatloaf is done).
• While meatloaf cooks, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard.
• Remove meatloaf when it has about 20 minutes left to cook and spread glaze over top.
• Rest meatloaf for 10 minutes then slice and serve.

CHARD AND RAISIN MEATLOAF WITH SWEET AND TANGY GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the meatloaf mix, chard, crackers, raisins, dill, parsley, Worcestershire, eggs, onion, garlic, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Using your hands, mix together until well combined.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and form it into a compact oval-shaped loaf, about 9 inches by 5 inches. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Stir together the apricot preserves, soy sauce, ginger, vinegar and remaining 1/4 cup ketchup in a small bowl for the glaze. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush the top and sides all over with the glaze. Return to the oven and bake until the glaze starts to caramelize and a thermometer inserted in the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

BETTER THAN MOM'S SWEET AND SAVORY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• PREP: Place oven rack on middle setting and preheat oven to 350 degrees. If using a less fatty meat, use a non-stick cooking spray to lightly coat the inside of your loaf pan. (If using ground beef, it is unnecessary to spray or grease your pan.). Lightly press the separate 2 tbsp of the packed brown sugar into the bottom of your loaf pan. Put like ingredients into prep bowls for ease in mixing later - this helps when you'll only have one hand (especially at least the dry ingredients of bread crumbs, salt, and pepper). Hint: thaw meat fully and bring cold ingredients (eggs, pasta sauce, sauce ingredients, etc) to room temperature prior to combining - this will aid in even cooking and correct cook time. (Waiting for items to reach room temperature is the bulk of your prep time, so your actual "work" prep time v. "waiting" prep time is about 5 min of work and 15-20 min of waiting.).
• SAUCE: Stir the remaining tbsp of brown sugar and the rest of the sauce ingredients in a bowl until combined. Sauce should be slightly runny. With a spatula, lightly drizzle some rows of the sauce over the brown sugar in the bottom of the loaf pan. Do not fully cover. Set the remaining majority of the sauce aside.
• LOAF: In a small skillet, sweat the diced onion over low heat. Half way through, add the garlic. (The onions and garlic do not cook inside the loaf and therefore you must heat them before.) Do not let them brown or carmelize. In a large mixing bowl, gently break up the meat with one hand (keep your other hand free and clean to hold the bowl and add in your other ingredients). When they are cool enough, slowly add in the onions and garlic until completely folded. Then add the pasta sauce, parsley, basil, garlic powder, and marjoram until blended. Next, you will alternate combining the dry ingredients (bread crumbs, salt, pepper combination) and half of the beaten eggs. Repeat dry ingredients and eggs until fully mixed. Shape mixture into a loaf and transfer it into your loaf pan. Gently press the loaf down and against the sides until you have a flat top service (as the meat cooks, it will pull away from the sides and form the classic "loaf" shape"). Pour the majority of the sauce over the top of your loaf and spread it evenly until covered (I like to keep just a tiny bity of sauce to drizzle over the loaf when there is about 10 min of cook time left, but you can add it all at this point if you like).
• Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, checking occassionally. Add more sauce when and if necessary. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

TASTY MEATLOAF WITH SWEET AND SAVORY GLAZE

Steps:

• 1. Work all ingredients into the beef until well combined. Form into a loaf and place in a baking pan. I like to place it on a rack. If using a rack, pour 1/2 cup of water in pan to prevent drippings from burning.
• 2. For the glaze, whisk together ingredients and pour over the top of the meatloaf.
• 3. Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour 15 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
