This is a perfect entree for a comfort meal! Add some mashed potatoes, a green vegetable or salad! Beautiful and perfect. Meatloaf is so easy and absolutely delicious. I like to add a "creole sauce" (that's what I call it) while serving. This makes it even more deliciouis.

Ingredients

1 small 0nion, diced
1 small/medium Belll pepper/diced
1 tbsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Butter
1 1/2 lb Ground beef or combination of ground pork and beef
1 cup Bread crumbs or more if needed
1/4 cup Tomato sauce
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper; dried or fresh thyme
1/2 cup Ketchup
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp Brown sugar
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup Ketchup
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 cup bell pepper/diced
1/2 cup onion/diced
1 14.5 ounce stewed or diced tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste...add a pinch of sugar if tomatoes are too acidic.

Steps:

For the Meatloaf:Preheat the over to 350 degrees. Sauté the onion and bell pepper in the olive oil and butter combination until tender and set aside to cool. Meanwhile place the ground meats in a bowl, add the egg, breadcrumbs, tomato sauce, seasons and the onion and bell pepper once cooled. Combine all the ingredients. I use my hands...add more bread crumbs if needed. You want the meatloaf to hold together.....not too loose.....you want it to form a nice loaf in a pan or in a sheet pan. Mold into a loaf, place on a sheet pan, top with the topping sauce coating the top and sides, bake 30 or 45 minutes until center is firm or internal temperature reaches 160. Let the meatloaf rest a few minutes and top with the creole sauce. Slice and Serve!!

CAJUN MEATLOAF WITH CREOLE SAUCE

Cajun Meatloaf with Creole Sauce image

I woke up thinking creole and cajun. I then thought why not combine it in a meatloaf. This was a huge success! The meatloaf was so flavorful and the creole sauce took it over the top. I served it with fried cabbage and mashed potatoes. I put the creole sauce on the meatloaf and the mashed potatoes.

CREOLE MEAT LOAF

Creole Meat Loaf image

This meat loaf is not spicy, despite the name. It is a mix of ground beef and pork, with a nice creole sauce on top. It originally came from an old Southern Living cookbook, but the recipe has been changed significantly since its publication. If you would like, put the cheese of your choice on the meatloaf before adding the creole sauce. Also, feel free to substitute creole seasoning for the salt and pepper!
