Time 2h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
1 pound pork sausage, meat removed from casings
2 eggs
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
One 32-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
5 cloves garlic
1 yellow onion
1 Anaheim chile
1/2 red onion
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup yellow mustard
Kosher salt and ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the meatloaf: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place beef, sausage, eggs and panko in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Place tomatoes, vinegar, Worcestershire, oregano, pepper, thyme, kosher salt, seasoning salt, garlic, yellow onion, chile and red onion in a high-powered blender and puree. Reserve half of this mixture for the tomato gravy. Pour the remaining half into the mixing bowl with the meat. Mix the meat really well with your hands until the meatloaf mixture is all the same color.
  • Pack the meatloaf mixture into a 6-by-11-inch pan (or something similar). Place pan on a baking sheet to catch any fat that spills out during cooking. Bake the meatloaf until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 155 degrees F, 1 hour 30 minutes. Let meatloaf rest for 10 minutes, then pour the fat out of the pan.
  • For the tomato gravy: Meanwhile, whisk together ketchup, tomato paste, mustard and reserved vegetable mix in a saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring up to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, then simmer, stirring every couple of minutes, for 30 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve the tomato gravy with your finished meatloaf! Most importantly, enjoy with friends and family!

MAGIC MEATLOAF WITH GRAVY



Magic Meatloaf with Gravy image

This is a family favorite but the magic comes in where there is no greasy flavor. I was turned off by meatloaf for so many years because I grew tired of removing the pan and draining the grease. Problem solved! No more grease and the meatloaf disappears. If any left it's better the following day in sandwiches. The Ritz...

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 pounds meatloaf mix (or pork and beef combo)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 bay leaf
1 (15-ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Toast the bread crumbs in a dry skillet over medium heat until browned and fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside. Add the olive oil, onions, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet and cook until onions are tender, about 8 minutes. Let cool slightly. Add the onions to the bread crumbs along with the meat, cheese, and Worcestershire sauce. Toss and mix gently. Add the eggs and stir to coat the meat completely.
  • Transfer to a foil-lined sheet pan and gently press into desired shape. Bake until an instant read thermometer registers 160 degrees F in the center of the loaf, about 45 minutes.
  • Tent the meatloaf with foil and let rest for 15 minutes while you make the gravy (or you can make the gravy while the meatloaf is baking).
  • Gravy: Cook the onions, garlic, and oregano in the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste and bay leaf. Stir until paste turns brick red and garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook sauce until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Whisk in Parmesan cheese, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Discard the bay leaf and transfer the sauce to a gravy boat. Slice the meatloaf and serve with the gravy.

STOVETOP MEATLOAF (HAMBURGERS & GRAVY)



Stovetop meatloaf (Hamburgers & Gravy) image

All the women (grandmothers, my mother and aunts) in the family always used this recipe when we were growing up. They are more like mini meatloaves with gravy done on the stove-top. Kids that don't eat meatloaf but eat hamburgers will eat them up because they think they are plain hamburgers! I did this with my son as well. He...

Categories     Burgers

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lb ground chuck
2 slice bread, moistened**
1/2 onion, diced
1 large egg
1 stalk(s) celery, diced fine
1/4 green pepper, diced fine
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
** DO NOT SUBSTITUE BREAD CRUMBS
NOTE: TO MOISTEN THE BREAD DIP YOUR FINGER TIPS IN WATER AND SPRINKLE OVER THE BREAD SLICES 2 TO 3 TIMES

Steps:

  • 1. break apart ground chuck. Add egg, salt, pepper and onion. Mix well. Break off moistened bread pieces and drop into meat. Mix well until bread is worked into the meat. Add a couple tablespoons of water as needed (the water is needed as the bread soaks up all the moisture and you want the meat to stay moist).
  • 2. Melt butter in a heavy skillet.
  • 3. Form nice plump burgers (not flat and thin), pat with water and put in pan to fry.
  • 4. On a low to medium heat, brown one side and then the other. You want them done all the way through. If you want gravy, remove hamburgers from pan, turn up heat and add some potato water and stir. Make a thin paste of 2 Tbsp cornstarch and a little water, then add little by little to pan while stirring. When thickened, bring to boil and shut off heat. Serve with mashed potatoes and vegetable.
