SAVORY BUTTERMILK MEATLOAF



Savory Buttermilk Meatloaf image

This meatloaf recipe is very flavorful, and as the proverbial description goes, 'melts in your mouth.' As far as vegetables, I only used onions, but their sweetness, along with the simple brown sugar glaze, were a great counterpoint to the others flavors.

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, diced
2 ½ pounds ground chuck
1 cup dry bread crumbs
¾ cup buttermilk
½ cup ketchup
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon hot sauce
½ teaspoon dried tarragon
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot butter until soft and translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  • Combine cooled onion, beef chuck, bread crumbs, buttermilk, ketchup, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, hot sauce, tarragon, and Italian seasoning in a bowl; mix together with a fork and let sit until breadcrumbs absorb moisture, about 10 minutes.
  • Turn meatloaf mixture out into the center of the prepared baking sheet and form into a 9x5-inch loaf.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. While meatloaf is baking, whisk brown sugar, mustard, and cider vinegar together in a small bowl. Spread brown sugar glaze over the top of the meatloaf and continue baking until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

SWEET & SPICY GLAZED BUTTERMILK MEATLOAF

Panko bread crumbs really make the difference here. When the Panko is soaked with the buttermilk, it forms a squishy texture that is different from regular bread crumbs. The meatloaf will have a light consistency while, at the same time, a rich flavor from the buttermilk. Panko is Japanese breadcrumbs and available in most grocery stores. Note: Leftovers make great meatloaf sandwiches.

Yield 1 Meatloaf, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs, Japanese bread crumbs
1 cup whole-fat buttermilk
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup small-diced onion
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 lbs ground beef, ground round works best
1/2 lb ground pork
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees (F).
  • Combine the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan and place over low heat.
  • Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until soft and translucent, don't brown. Add parsley, basil and tomato paste and cook for about a minute. Set aside to cool.
  • In a small bowl, combine Panko and buttermilk, let this set for 5 - 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, place beef, pork, cheese, salt and pepper, the onion/garlic mixture and the Panko/buttermilk mixture. Mix with your hands until combined.
  • In a 13x9x2 rimmed baking pan, form the mixture into a loaf center of the pan, don't touch the sides of the pan. Brush sides and top with some glaze, then bake for 75 minutes, brush on more glaze after 45 minutes. Keep the leftover glaze warm and stir occasionally.
  • After baking, remove the meatloaf from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes; then slice and serve hot with leftover glaze as a sauce.

BUTTERMILK MEATLOAF

This recipe is a long series of trials and errors. The sauce and bread idea came from Paula Deen. The meatloaf itself is a recipe we found in the newspaper years ago. The final result is well worth a try.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your meatloaf. Choose fresh, lean ground beef, and use good-quality buttermilk and bread crumbs.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf can make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf shape: This will help it cook evenly.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven: This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Baste the meatloaf with the glaze during the last 15 minutes of cooking: This will help it brown and caramelize.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist, flavorful interior and crispy, caramelized glaze, it's the perfect dish for any occasion. Whether you're serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this buttermilk meatloaf is sure to be a hit.
