Categories     Beef

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup crushed saltines (25-30 crackers)
1/3 cup milk
1/4 to 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
2 teaspoons onion powder (see note to use fresh onions)
3 garlic cloves (finely minced or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (I use coarse, kosher salt - use slightly less for table salt)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (I use coarse black pepper - use slightly less for finely ground)
2 pounds ground meat (I use half ground beef/half ground pork - see note)
2/3 cup ketchup or BBQ sauce (or a combination)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider or red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • For the meatloaf, in a large mixing bowl, add the crushed saltines and milk and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes. Add the parsley, eggs, onion powder, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Add the ground meat and mix until evenly and well combined. (You can use a food processor for all of the above if you want a an even more well combined spice and meat mixture.)
  • For the glaze, combine the ketchup (or BBQ sauce), brown sugar, and vinegar and whisk to combine.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.
  • Pile the meat mixture in the middle of the prepared pan and shape into a loaf about 9 inches long and 4 inches wide (it doesn't have to be perfect; just try to get it an even thickness throughout).
  • Spoon the glaze over the meatloaf. Bake for 45-50 minutes until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F in the center of the meatloaf.
  • Loosely tent with foil and let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Whisk the remaining 1 1/2 cups ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and chipotle powder in a small bowl. Brush the meatloaf with the sauce.
  • Bake until the meat is cooked through, about 20 minutes, then turn on the broiler setting and broil until the top becomes caramelized and dark in spots, 3 to 4 minutes more, turning the pan periodically for even broiling. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Categories     Beef     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Back to School     Dinner     Lunch     Meat     Ground Beef     Sausage     Sugar Conscious     Dairy Free     Small Plates

Yield 5 mains, plus leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoons kosher salt
2 medium carrots, chopped
1 medium yellow onion, quartered
1 egg
2 pounds ground beef
1 pound loose Italian sausage meat (mild or hot, to taste)
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
1/3 cup ketchup
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then coat with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine the panko, garlic powder, basil, oregano, mustard powder, paprika, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a food processor, combine the carrots, onion, and egg. Process until very finely chopped. Add to the breadcrumb mixture and mix well. Add the ground beef and sausage meat, then gently but thoroughly mix. The mixture will be solid and on the dry side.
  • Divide the mixture in half and transfer one portion to one side of the prepared baking sheet. Form into a loaf about 8 inches long and 2 inches high.
  • Repeat with the remaining half, forming it into a loaf next to the first, leaving several inches between them.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the hoisin, ketchup, and hot sauce. Spoon over the top and sides of the meatloaves.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the meatloaves reach 155°F at the center.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for a moist and flavorful meatloaf. You can also use ground turkey or chicken, but they may be drier.
  • Add plenty of seasonings to the meatloaf mixture, such as garlic, onion, Worcestershire sauce, and herbs. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meatloaf.
  • Use a loaf pan that is just large enough to hold the meatloaf mixture. This will help to prevent the meatloaf from shrinking too much during cooking.
  • Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the meatloaf. This will help to ensure that the meatloaf cooks evenly.
  • Baste the meatloaf with the glaze during the last 15 minutes of cooking. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the meatloaf from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Holiday Glazed Meatloaf is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for any special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With its moist and flavorful interior and its sweet and savory glaze, this meatloaf is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
