BO'S FAVORITE MEATLOAF - FOR MEATLOAF HATERS



Bo's Favorite Meatloaf - for Meatloaf Haters image

My husband has always sworn that he hates meat loaf. I came across a recipe in a Campbell Soup cook book and changed it to his taste. Now he wants this meat loaf every week and absolutely loves it. It stays moist and reheats very well so we can make a large batch of it at a time. We add it to omelets in the morning and make sandwiches out of it for lunch.

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

1/4 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.

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.

MEATLOAF-HATERS MEATLOAF



Meatloaf-Haters Meatloaf image

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



Meatloaf for Meatloaf Haters image

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

Provided by El Bistro

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.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 medium onions, sliced thin
6 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
3 large ripe tomatoes, cored and chopped
1 cup bread crumbs
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 large egg
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons finely minced Italian parsley
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the onions in a heavy skillet, preferably nonstick. Cover and cook on low heat about 10 minutes, until the onions are soft and just beginning to brown. Stir in the garlic and cook a minute or so longer. Remove one-third of this mixture from the pan and set aside.
  • Add one-third of the tomatoes to the pan and cook about five minutes, until the excess liquid has evaporated. Transfer mixture to food processor and process to chop very fine.
  • Place the finely chopped onion mixture in a bowl and mix well with the bread crumbs, the beef, the egg, oregano, half the parsley, the red pepper and salt and pepper. Form the mixture into a loaf and place in a shallow baking dish. Bake 90 minutes.
  • While the meatloaf is baking, return the reserved onion mixture to the skillet. Add the remaining tomatoes and the olive oil. Simmer over medium heat about 10 minutes. Add the reserved parsley and season to taste with crushed red pepper, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set this sauce aside until you are ready to serve the meatloaf, then reheat the sauce and serve it alongside.
