Categories     Meatloafs

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

MEATLOAF INGREDIENTS:
1 c bread crumbs
1 c milk
1 1/2 lb hamburger
1 egg
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp minced onion
SAUCE:
1/4 c water
1/2 c ketchup
3 Tbsp mustard
1/4 tsp salt
3 Tbsp light brown sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Add bread crumbs to milk and let stand a few minutes. Mix with ground beef, egg, pepper worcestershire sauce, and onion. Can either put in 9x5 bread pan, or I use the Jumbo muffin pans (which makes 6 large) I add sliced peppers over top of each one and chopped pepper with the meatlof mixture.
  • 2. Sauce: Combine ketchup, brown sugar, water, mustard,salt and pour over meat loaf. (I double this so I can have extra to pour over mashed potato and over meatloaf. Put all in a saucepan and heat up on stove top. Pour some over each one in the cups or over all in the loaf pan. Save the rest for serving with meal. Bake at for 25-30 minutes, check with thermometer til it reads 170 degrees .
  • 3. Seems so simple and like most other meatloaf recipes but the sauce is what makes it so good. I also love the fact that when you cook them in the muffin cups, it takes half the time to cook, and easy to freeze a few if you have any leftovers!

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 2/3 to 1 3/4 pounds ground sirloin
1 medium onion, cut into chunks
2 ribs celery from the heart of the stalk, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper
1 large egg plus a splash of milk, beaten
1 cup plain bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grill seasoning (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)
1 cup smoky barbecue sauce
1/2 cup tomato salsa
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Vegetable oil or extra-virgin olive oil
Micro-way-cool Bacon and Green Beans, recipe follows
Smashed potatoes and cream cheese, recipe follows
6 slices microwave ready-crisp bacon
One 16-ounce bag frozen green beans
A drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 1/2 pounds small red potatoes or baby Yukon gold potatoes
1/2 cup half-and-half or whole milk
8 ounces plain cream cheese or veggie cream cheese, cut into pieces
10 chives or 2 scallions, chopped or snipped with kitchen scissors
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Put ground beef into a big bowl. Put onion and celery into a food processor. Cut the bell pepper in half, rip out the seeds and throw them into your garbage bowl. Cut the pepper into a few pieces and add to the food processor. Pulse the processor blades to finely chop the vegetables into very small pieces then add them to the meat bowl. Add egg, beaten with milk, bread crumbs and grill seasoning to the bowl. Next, mix together the smoky barbecue sauce, the salsa and the Worcestershire sauce. Pour half the sauce mixture into the bowl with the meatloaf mix. Mix the meatloaf together with your hands. Wash up. Brush a 12-muffin tin (1/2-cup each) with vegetable oil or extra-virgin olive oil. Use an ice cream scoop to help you fill meat into a each tin. Top each meat loaf with a spoonful of extra sauce. Bake about 20 minutes. Cut open 1 muffin to test that the middle is cooked through. While meatloaf muffins bake, make green beans in the microwave. Serve meatloaf with Smashed Potatoes and Cream Cheese on the side, too.
  • Place bacon between paper towels and microwave 60 seconds on high. Cool bacon and chop or crumble up.
  • Place green beans in a bowl and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and microwave green beans on high for 5 minutes, stir and cook 5 minutes more. Remove wrap and top green beans with crumbled bacon.
  • Boil potatoes until tender, 15 minutes. While the water boils and when the potatoes are cooking, you can be working on the meatloaf recipe.
  • When the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the hot pot to let them dry out a bit. Mash potatoes with half-and-half or milk using a potato masher. Add in the cream cheese and smash until the cheese melts into the potatoes. Then add chives and scallions and season with salt and pepper, to your taste.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of ground meats: Feel free to combine different ground meats such as beef, pork, lamb, or turkey to create a unique and flavorful meatloaf.
  • Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing can result in a tough meatloaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use breadcrumbs or oats as binders: Breadcrumbs and oats help to bind the meatloaf together and prevent it from becoming too dry.
  • Add moisture to the meatloaf: Vegetables like onions, peppers, and zucchini add moisture to the meatloaf and keep it from becoming dry.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Be generous with the seasonings, as they will help to flavor the meatloaf throughout.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: A low cooking temperature will help to prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Letting the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meatloaf.
