• Add the onions, garlic, herbs and salt and pepper to a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the mixture is soft and aromatic.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl add the eggs, mustard, milk and tomato paste. Stir in the bread crumbs mix well.
• Add the sauteed aromatics, and the beef and combine well. Form the mixture into 9-ounce football shapes and arrange on a parchment lined sheet pan. Wrap each meat loaf with strip of applewood bacon and liberally coat each loaf with ketchup. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes... do not let burn! They are ready when the internal temperature registers 140 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer to serving plates or platters and serve.
• To make meatballs, omit the bacon and use a 2 ounce scoop to form the meatballs. Bake in the same manner as the meatloaf.

MEATLOAF MEATBALLS WITH HORSERADISH MASH AND GRAVY

Steps:

• For the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a saute pan over medium to medium-high heat; melt the butter. Add the onion, celery and garlic; season with salt, pepper and thyme. Cook to tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Deglaze with the sherry or wine; cool.
• Soak the bread in milk while the veggies cool.
• Place the meat in mixing bowl; season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the liquid out of the bread and crumble into the bowl. Add the cooked vegetables, parsley, Worcestershire, mustard and eggs; combine to mix but do not overwork.
• Place parchment paper on a baking sheet and roll the meat into 24 balls. Spray with cooking spray and roast about 15 to 18 minutes until lightly crispy and golden and cooked through. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat, covered, in a preheated 375-degree F oven with a splash of water or they will stick in the bottom of the dish. Once meatballs are hot, uncover and crisp up for 5 minutes.
• For the mash: Fill a pot halfway with cold water. Peel and add the potatoes as they are chopped or, if you peeled up the potatoes ahead, place in a pot and fill with fresh water. Add enough water to cover the potatoes, then cover the pot and place over high heat to bring to a boil. Once the water boils, remove the lid, salt the water and cook, uncovered, at a low boil until tender to fork. Drain and return to hot pot. Mash the potatoes with the sour cream and cream, a liberal dose of pepper, horseradish and chives; salt to your taste. If you wish to make the potatoes ahead of time and hold them for a couple of hours, place an inch of water in a large pot and bring to boil, then reduce heat to low and place a smaller pot, filled with the potatoes, into simmering water and cover that pot.
• For the gravy: Melt the butter in saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and bring to a bubble; whisk in the stock and Worcestershire, season with pepper and thicken. Temper the egg yolk by lightly beating a ladle of gravy into it, then whisk into the sauce. Cool and store; reheat over medium heat, adding a little more stock, if necessary, to loosen.
• Serve in shallow bowls. Spoon in enough potatoes to gently mound up in a bowl, then arrange a few meatballs in the center of the mound. Ladle gravy down over top and garnish with parsley.

MEATLOAF OR MEATBALLS

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl mix all the meatloaf ingredients. Take off the jewelry and get your hands into it
• 2. Spray an oblong shallow pan with non stick cooking spray, shape the mixture into a loaf and center in pan leaving plenty of room all around. Do not use a loaf pan
• 3. Mix sauce in a cup or small bowl and pour over meatloaf
• 4. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. When you smell it... check it. Meatloaf is done when you can see the hot sizzle of the sauce creating a dark circle. Don't let it turn black.
• 5. To make meatballs instead of meatloaf, substitute plain bread crumbs for rolled oats. Do not make any topping. Roll mixture into small balls and place on a baking sheet Bake at 350 for 15 minutes Remove from oven and drain off grease. Place meatballs a large pan of your favorite sauce

DINER MEATLOAF AND MEATBALLS MIXTURE

Steps:

• Combine onion, saltine crackers, salt, pepper, egg and milk.
• Add ground beef and mix to combine.
• At this point, you can shape into loaves, wrap in plastic wrap, place in freezer bag and freeze for later use.
• If using for meatballs, spread mixture out on plastic wrap in a flat square; put in freezer bag and freeze. I use defrost level in microwave to defrost 1 lb ground beef.
• For meatloaf, we simply pour a layer of ketchup over the loaf and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• For meatballs, shape into desired size; brown in fry pan with 1 tablespoon oil. Add meatballs to tomato/spaghetti sauce or chili sauce with grape jelly sauce.
• Variation: Feel free to add garlic powder or minced garlic and/or Parmesan cheese.

SAVORY ITALIAN MEATBALLS OR MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Wash your hands.
• Form your ground beef into a tube on a large cutting board. Cut a slice down the middle of the tube forming a pocket along it's length.
• Remove the Italian Sausage (optional) from casing and place it into the pocket, then sprinkle all other ingredients over it (except the Spaghetti Sauce).
• Knead your ground beef tube with your hands until all ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
• Form your meatballs rolling them with the palms of your hands.
• If you are making meatloaf instead of meatballs, form your meatloaf tightly and bake it on a broiler pan (so the grease will drain through the holes) at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, pour your favorite Spaghetti Sauce over your meatloaf. When the meatloaf is done, it is ready to serve.
• Place your meatballs on tin foil in a large roasting pan. Roast at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes. This recipe makes about 50 meatballs. You may need to use 2 roasting pans depending on your pan size. Remove from oven when done.
• Pour your sauce (I always use Paul Newman's Sockarooni Sauce) into a crockpot until it is about 1/2 full. Add your meatballs and cover with a bit more sauce. Freeze any extra meatballs or set them aside in your fridge for a second serving later.
• Set your crockpot on high. Your meatballs will be ready to serve in about 1 hour.
• Try to keep the crowd back once word spreads about the juicy Italian flavor. Whatver else is happening at your party, a line will always be formed in front of your meatballs.
