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!

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.

CREOLE MEATLOAF WITH TOMATO GRAVY RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the ground beef in a large bowl; set aside. Heat the butter over medium and cook the onion, bell pepper and celery until tender; add the garlic, cook for another minute, transfer to a plate to cool. Wipe out the skillet, and add the 1/4 cup of canola oil. Heat over medium high heat and stir in the flour. Cook and stir until it is browned, remove from the heat, and let cool slightly. Slowly whisk in the tomato sauce, water and Worcestershire and return to the heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Whisk together the milk and egg; stir in the bread crumbs and add that mixture to the ground beef. Add the salt, pepper, cayenne and cooked veggies; mix gently and shape into a loaf. The mixture should be firm. If it is breaking apart, return to the bowl and additional bread crumbs until it holds together. In a large, oven safe skillet, heat the tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Carefully transfer the meatloaf to the skillet and sear on all sides, turning carefully. Pat any cracks that form back together. Note: You can skip the searing process if you prefer. Once all sides have browned, pour the tomato gravy over the meatloaf and transfer the entire skillet to a 350 degree F oven for about 1 hour, basting occasionally. When an instant read thermometer reads 160 degrees F the meatloaf is done. Allow to sit for about 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Serve slices with a bit of the tomato gravy spooned over the top. Cook's Notes: This works best with an extra lean ground beef, so don't be tempted to try a higher fat ground beef because it just won't hold together for the searing process
Tips:
- Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. This will give your meatloaf a more flavorful and moist texture.
- Add some vegetables to your meatloaf. This will help to keep it moist and add some extra flavor. Grated vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions are all good choices.
- Use a flavorful breadcrumb mixture. This will help to bind the meatloaf together and add some extra flavor. You can use plain breadcrumbs, or you can add some herbs, spices, or grated Parmesan cheese.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are well combined.
- Cook the meatloaf in a loaf pan. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from falling apart.
- Baste the meatloaf with the tomato gravy during cooking. This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices from running out.
