This recipe comes from the Luby's 50th Anniversary Cookbook. It suggests for a different meatloaf to tope it off with barbecue sauce. The leftovers make a good sandwich! I have not made this meat loaf in my kitchen, but I have eaten it at Luby's, and it is very good. The prep time is a guesstimate!

Categories     Onions

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons butter
2 large onions, sliced thin
1 lb beef liver, sliced about 1/4 inch and cleaned
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 cup Wondra Flour
2 tablespoons coconut oil or 2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Melt butter over medium heat in a large skillet and add sliced onions. Cook until tender.
  • Mix the flour and seasoned salt together on plate, large bowl, or ziplock bag.
  • Dredge each piece of liver in flour mix being sure to cover all of the liver. Coat all of the slices of liver.
  • Remove the onions from the skillet and keep warm.
  • Add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons coconut or canola oil to skillet and turn heat up to medium high. I prefer coconut oil.
  • Add dredged liver to skillet and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes. Don't overcrowd the skillet. It will take 3-4 batches to cook the liver. Move to a plate and keep warm between batches.
  • Once all the liver is cooked, reheat the onions then place over the livers.
  • You can cover with a brown, cream, beef, or mushroom gravy if you prefer.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
  • Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your meatloaf will taste. Look for fresh, lean ground beef and flavorful seasonings.
  • Don't Overmix the Meatloaf Mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Shape the Meatloaf Correctly: To ensure even cooking, shape the meatloaf into a uniform loaf. A loaf pan can help you achieve the desired shape.
  • Cook the Meatloaf at the Right Temperature: The ideal internal temperature for cooked meatloaf is 160°F (71°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meatloaf is cooked thoroughly.
  • Let the Meatloaf Rest Before Slicing: After cooking, let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute and prevent the meatloaf from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Luby's meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its flavorful blend of ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, and seasonings, this meatloaf is sure to become a family favorite. Follow these tips and tricks to make the best Luby's meatloaf every time.
