CAJUN MEATLOAF WITH CREOLE SAUCE



Cajun Meatloaf with Creole Sauce image

I woke up thinking creole and cajun. I then thought why not combine it in a meatloaf. This was a huge success! The meatloaf was so flavorful and the creole sauce took it over the top. I served it with fried cabbage and mashed potatoes. I put the creole sauce on the meatloaf and the mashed potatoes.

I don't care for Weetabix cereal as a cereal itself, but the recipe on the box I saw years ago for using the cereal in meat loaf is insanely yummy! I figured, people put corn flakes in meat loaf, so why not try this. I add green bell peppers as well as the red called for.

CREOLE TURKEY MEATLOAF



Creole Turkey Meatloaf image

OK, I had to get creative with meatloaf because my hubby hates it with a capital H! This is the only way he will eat it and I have to admit... It's very tasty, if I do say so myself. Instead of the typical ketchup topping I make a cheese sauce to top it when served.

Provided by Tina Asher

Categories     Meatloafs

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lb ground turkey
1 1/2 c seasoned bread crumbs
2 eggs
1 large red bell pepper, diced
1 medium onion, diced
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
2-3 tsp creole seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 c shredded cheese of choice (optional)
CHEESE SAUCE
1 can(s) cream of chicken soup
3/4 c heavy whipping cream
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients and pour into a loaf pan. Bake @ 350 for 40-50 minutes or until cooked through. Since it's turkey you don't have to worry about it getting too greasy and running over in the oven
  • 2. For cheese sauce: In a medium pot mix soup and cream. Over medium heat stir constantly to assure it doesn't scorch. Once it's heated through add cheese, again stirring constantly until completely melted. Add pepper to taste and serve over sliced meatloaf.

CREOLE MEATLOAF WITH TOMATO GRAVY RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Creole Meatloaf with Tomato Gravy Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by kimvess

Number Of Ingredients 19

1-1/2 pounds of very lean ground beef*
1 tablespoon of butter
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1/2 cup of green bell pepper, chopped fine
1 stalk (rib) of celery, chopped fine
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup of canola oil
2 tablespoons of all purpose flour (for the roux)
1 (15 ounce) can of tomato sauce
1 can of water
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup of evaporated milk
1 large egg
1/2 cup of seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper
Pinch of cayenne
Additional flour, for coating
1 tablespoon of canola oil, for browning

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the ground beef in a large bowl; set aside. Heat the butter over medium and cook the onion, bell pepper and celery until tender; add the garlic, cook for another minute, transfer to a plate to cool. Wipe out the skillet, and add the 1/4 cup of canola oil. Heat over medium high heat and stir in the flour. Cook and stir until it is browned, remove from the heat, and let cool slightly. Slowly whisk in the tomato sauce, water and Worcestershire and return to the heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Whisk together the milk and egg; stir in the bread crumbs and add that mixture to the ground beef. Add the salt, pepper, cayenne and cooked veggies; mix gently and shape into a loaf. The mixture should be firm. If it is breaking apart, return to the bowl and additional bread crumbs until it holds together. In a large, oven safe skillet, heat the tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Carefully transfer the meatloaf to the skillet and sear on all sides, turning carefully. Pat any cracks that form back together. Note: You can skip the searing process if you prefer. Once all sides have browned, pour the tomato gravy over the meatloaf and transfer the entire skillet to a 350 degree F oven for about 1 hour, basting occasionally. When an instant read thermometer reads 160 degrees F the meatloaf is done. Allow to sit for about 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Serve slices with a bit of the tomato gravy spooned over the top. Cook's Notes: This works best with an extra lean ground beef, so don't be tempted to try a higher fat ground beef because it just won't hold together for the searing process

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground meat: A combination of ground beef and ground pork is a classic choice for Creole meatloaf, but you can also use all beef or all pork if you prefer.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Creole seasoning is a key ingredient in this dish. Be sure to use a generous amount of it, as well as other seasonings like salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Use a loaf pan with a lid: This will help to keep the meatloaf moist while it cooks.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: This will also help to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it easier to slice and serve.

Conclusion:

Creole meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its savory flavors and moist texture, it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or cornbread, for a complete and satisfying meal.
