A-1 Broccoli-Cheddar Meatloaf image

I found this on an A-1 Steak Sauce bottle about 20 years ago. It called for 8 oz can of stewed tomatoes mixed with remaining A-1 Steak sauce to be put on top but I omit this and just add all of the A-1 into the meatloaf.

INDIVIDUAL TURKEY MEATLOAF AND BROCCOLI WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE SAUCE



Individual Turkey Meatloaf and Broccoli with Cheddar Cheese Sauce image

Categories     Bread     Sauce     Cheese     turkey     Roast     Dinner     Cheddar     Broccoli     Boil

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/3 pounds ground lean turkey (average weight of 1 package)
1 tablespoon grill seasoning (a palmful, such as McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning)
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (2/3 palmful)
1/3 cup bottled barbecue sauce, any brand
1 small or 1/2 medium zucchini, diced fine
1/2 small red bell pepper, seeded, cored, and diced fine
3 scallions, finely chopped
3/4 cup smoked almonds, such as Diamond brand, ground in food processor to bread-crumb consistency
1 egg yolk, beaten
Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), for drizzling
1 large head broccoli or 2 small heads
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup chicken stock or broth
1 cup milk
2 1/2 cups (10 ounces) good-quality shredded Cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
Salt
1 cup store-bought chipotle, tomato, or tomatillo salsa, any brand

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Place the turkey in a medium mixing bowl and make a deep well in the center by punching the meat with your fist. Fill the well with the grill seasoning, poultry seasoning, barbecue sauce, chopped veggies, ground smoked almonds (clever sub for bread crumbs, I know, plus the smoked nuts rock with the BBQ sauce), and egg yolk. Mix the meatloaf ingredients together, then score the meat with your hand into 4 equal sections. Form 4 individual oval loaves, each 1 1/ 2 inches thick. Arrange on a nonstick baking sheet and drizzle liberally with EVOO. Roast the meatloaves for 18 to 20 minutes. While they roast, work on the broccoli and Cheddar sauce.
  • Trim the very end off of the broccoli stems. With a peeler or a paring knife, remove the thick, fibrous outer layer of the broccoli stems all the way up to within an inch of where the broccoli shoots off into its florets. Cut the broccoli lengthwise into large spears.
  • Heat a small or medium saucepot over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter melts, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the chicken stock, then the milk. Thicken for 2 minutes, then stir in the cheese and melt, 2 minutes. Season with the Tabasco and salt to taste, then turn the heat to low.
  • Bring a couple of cups of water to a boil in a deep skillet. Add salt and broccoli and cook the spears for about 5 minutes in simmering water, until tender but still green. Drain and return to the pan to remain warm.
  • Place a turkey meatloaf on a dinner plate. Garnish with a spoonful or two of salsa. Pile some broccoli spears alongside and top with a generous ladle of cheese sauce.

ROLLED BROCCOLI MEATLOAF



Rolled Broccoli Meatloaf image

This is the best meatloaf ever! It's cheesy and warm and very tasty. My mom used to make this and we loved it!

Provided by LeahG

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 egg
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1/4 cup A.1. Original Sauce
1 -2 broccoli florets (depends how much you like) or 1 -2 frozen broccoli, but you must defrost first
8 ounces grated cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cook, steam broccoli, crumble up and set aside to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine ground beef, egg, soup mix and A1 sauce.
  • On a large flat surface (bread board etc.) place the foil.
  • Spread meatloaf mixture into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
  • You want it as thin as possible because you are going to roll it like a jelly roll sprinkle broccoli then cheese over surface of meat.
  • Roll up, starting at the small end of the loaf roll.
  • It helps to roll with the foil under, it kinda holds it together as you roll.
  • Pinch/close the small ends of the loaf.
  • Bake about 1 hour.
  • I like to pour more A1 over the top and right before pulling it out of the oven sprinkle a little more cheese on top.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. This will give the meatloaf a more flavorful and juicy texture.
  • Don't overwork the meat. Overworking the meat will make the meatloaf tough.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs. Panko breadcrumbs will help to absorb the moisture from the meat and keep the meatloaf from becoming dry.
  • Season the meatloaf generously. Use a variety of seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Add some vegetables to the meatloaf. Chopped broccoli, carrots, or celery are all good options.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the meatloaf. This will help to prevent the meatloaf from crumbling.
  • Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad are all good options.

Conclusion:

This broccoli cheddar meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a family meal. It is moist, flavorful, and cheesy, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this broccoli cheddar meatloaf a try. You won't be disappointed!
