OLD-FASHIONED MEATLOAF RECIPE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat; add celery and onion, and sauté 7 minutes or just until tender.
• Stir together celery mixture, ground beef, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs, and next 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Shape into a 10- x 5-inch loaf; place on a lightly greased broiler rack. Place rack in an aluminum foil-lined broiler pan.
• Bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Stir together remaining 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and 1 tablespoon ketchup until blended; pour evenly over meatloaf, and bake 10 to 15 more minutes or until no longer pink in center. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
• Note: For testing purposes only, we used Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning and Cavender's All Purpose Greek Seasoning.

GRANDMA'S OLD FASHIONED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F, rack in the middle. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray. In a large bowl add the oats and milk and gently mix. Set aside for 15 minutes to allow the oats to soak in the milk.
• After 15 minutes strain out the milk into a separate container but do not discard. *If there is no milk left, it's OK. Some brands of oats suck up all the milk while others do not.
• In the bowl the oats are in, add the ground beef, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, steak seasoning, garlic, onions, ketchup, and 3 tablespoon of tomato soup.
• Just combine but try not to overwork it as it will get tough. If the mixture is too wet, add in 1-2 more tablespoon of oats (don't worry if they aren't soaked). If too dry, add in the milk 1-2 tablespoon at a time. If you have no milk left as your oats sucked it all up just add more milk or water. You want the mixture to be pretty moist but firm enough to hold a shape.
• In the bowl gently press together.
• Transfer the mixture to the baking sheet and using your hands, form a loaf that is about 12 inches long, 6 inches wide, and about 2 1/2 inches tall. The loaf should be smooth and have rounded edges. This will help the loaf stay together when serving.
• Bake for 30 minutes, remove from the oven, and spread the remaining tomato soup on top of the meatloaf.
• Continue baking for another 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl combine the onion, garlic, milk, oats, egg, salt and peppers. Let sit for 5 minutes to soak up the liquid. Add in the ground beef and mix gently with your hands, just until combined (this should only take about 30 seconds, really!)
• Place ground beef on a large baking sheet and shape into a loaf. Combine topping ingredients and spread over the top and a small amount around the sides of the meatloaf. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until you have an internal temperature of 155°F. Allow to rest 10 minutes before cutting.

THIS OLD-FASHIONED MEATLOAF RECIPE IS JUST LIKE GRANDMA USED TO MAKE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix together ground beef, parsley, oregano, onion, garlic, optional cheese, bread crumbs, ketchup, egg substitute, pepper, and salt. Roll mixture into a large ball. Place in well-greased 9x13-inch baking dish or roaster, flattening slightly. Bake at 375°F for 1 hour. Keep in oven 5 more minutes with oven off and door closed. Remove meatloaf from oven. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing to allow meatloaf to gather its juices and firm up.

CLASSIC MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the carrot, celery, onion, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic in a food processor, and pulse until very finely chopped, almost to a puree. Place the minced vegetables into a large mixing bowl, and mix in ground chuck, Worcestershire sauce, and egg. Add Italian herbs, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix gently with a wooden spoon to incorporate vegetables and egg into the meat. Pour in bread crumbs. With your hand, gently mix in the crumbs with your fingertips just until combined, about 1 minute.
• Form the meatloaf into a ball. Pour olive oil into a baking dish and place the ball of meat into the dish. Shape the ball into a loaf, about 4 inches high by 6 inches across.
• Bake in the preheated oven just until the meatloaf is hot, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce. Stir until the brown sugar has dissolved.
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven. With the back of a spoon, smooth the glaze onto the top of the meatloaf, then pull a little bit of glaze down the sides of the meatloaf with the back of the spoon.
• Return meatloaf to oven, and bake until the loaf is no longer pink inside and the glaze has baked onto the loaf, 30 to 40 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cooking time will depend on shape and thickness of the meatloaf.
