DUTCH LOAF - LUNCHEON MEAT RECIPE



Dutch Loaf - Luncheon Meat Recipe image

Dutch loaf or luncheon meat in many cases does not call for flour, egg, or breadcrumbs. It is denser than regular meatloaf which makes it well-suited as a lunch meat loaf. The spices in a Dutch loaf are rich but subtle enough to be overwhelmed by too much sodium. The hardwood smoke flavor is truly unique among lunch meats.

DUTCH MEATLOAF FROM 1948



Dutch Meatloaf from 1948 image

This was a favorite in my late husband's family. Of course I got the recipe from my mother-in-law on a 3x5 card. Some years later, I found a copy of Life magazine that came out 3 days after I was born. The magazine is dated April 19, 1948. I found the recipe for Dutch meatloaf printed in an ad for Hunt's tomato sauce. My MIL...

DUTCH MEATLOAF



Dutch Meatloaf image

I adapted this recipe from an old elementary school cookbook, making a few good-for-you substitutions. I used to make this meatloaf all of the time when I was younger--it was often requested by my parents for special dinners. You can use any type of ground beef, chicken, or turkey you'd like -- it tastes just as good!

Categories     Meat

Time 1h50m

Yield 1 loaf, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs extra lean ground beef
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 (8 ounce) can low-sodium tomato sauce
1 cup homemade breadcrumbs, preferably whole wheat
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup water
1 (8 ounce) can low-sodium tomato sauce
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons white vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Using a large spoon, combine onion, 8-oz tomato sauce, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper.
  • Add ground beef, mixing with hands.
  • Form into a loaf and place into a casserole dish, preferrably one with a lid. I like to poke a few holes into the top of the loaf so some of the sauce can get down into the loaf itself.
  • In a bowl, whisk together water, 8-oz tomato sauce, mustard, brown sugar, and vinegar.
  • Pour half of the mixture over the loaf. Cover the casserole dish with the lid, and bake the meatloaf for 1 1/2 hours. Baste at least once.
  • Pour the remaining mixture into a saucepan and bring to a simmer, allow sauce to reduce until about as thick as tomato sauce. This takes about 20 minutes.
  • Allow meatloaf to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Pour thickened sauce over slices to serve.

Tips:

  • Be sure to use a good quality luncheon meat, as it will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish.
  • Do not overmix the meat mixture, as this will make the loaf tough.
  • If you are using a loaf pan that is not non-stick, be sure to grease and flour it before adding the meat mixture.
  • Bake the loaf until it is cooked through, but not overcooked, as this will also make it tough.
  • Let the loaf cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Dutch Loaf Luncheon Meat is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it plain or with added ingredients, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
