I needed a meatloaf recipe that contained no tomatoes or tomato sauce. I created this recipe using a hint of hot sauce to avoid blandness. Serve with mashed potatoes and veggies.

MEATLOAF-HATERS MEATLOAF

I hate meatloaf - DH loves it. I came up with this, modifying a recipe for meatballs, and we both love it. It doesn't have a sauce because it doesn't need it. It's wonderful on it's own. We like to roast carrots with it, and serve it with mashed potatoes and biscuits.

MEATLOAF FOR MEATLOAF HATERS

I didnt really like meatloaf...until many many experiments in the kitchen gave me this recipe. Thanks and enjoy this unusual yet wonderful creation.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb ground chuck
1 lb ground pork
1 medium onion
4 green onions
1 stalk celery
1 sprig parsley
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh cracked pepper
1 tablespoon salt
3 slices bread
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups V8 vegetable juice

Steps:

  • Dice and saute onion, green onion (including most of the green parts)and celery.
  • When your saute is transparent, add the garlic. (I usually slice mine with a cheese grater).
  • Continue until onions are lightly browned. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Finely chop parsley.
  • Breifly soak bread in water.
  • Add bread, egg, and all other ingredients to the meat in a large bowl; knead together.
  • Add small amounts of the V8 until it is gone or the consistency feels right to you. It should be well bound, but with a good amount of moisture to it.
  • Mold the meat into buttered loaf pan.
  • Turn the mold over onto a flat baking sheet, letting it fall down onto the pan to get the meat back out if necessary.
  • Cook for 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • Why sour cream? Its added moisture (fat not grease)you will lose from all of the nasty grease/fat you will see hanging off the sides of the loaf when it is done. Why bread? Still used as a binder, but without all of the moisture loss of breadcrumbs or cracker crumbs. Why V8? 8 wonderful veggies in a tomato liquid, I have found it is perfect for this meatloaf.

Tips:

  • Use a blend of ground meats: Combining different types of ground meat, such as beef, pork, and veal, can create a more flavorful and moist meatloaf.
  • Add moisture: To prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry, incorporate moisture-rich ingredients like eggs, milk, and vegetables. Grated zucchini, carrots, and onions are excellent choices.
  • Use a flavorful glaze: A glaze can add a delicious crust and extra flavor to the meatloaf. Experiment with different glazes, such as ketchup, barbecue sauce, or a mixture of brown sugar and mustard.
  • Cook the meatloaf to the correct temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium-rare, 165°F (74°C) for medium, or 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf, resulting in a more tender and flavorful experience.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can create a delicious and satisfying meatloaf that will change the minds of even the most ardent meatloaf haters. Experiment with different ingredients and flavors to find your perfect combination, and don't be afraid to get creative with your glaze and toppings. Enjoy the process of cooking and the satisfaction of creating a dish that everyone will love.
