Time 6h

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 48

10 pounds high-gluten flour, plus more for dusting
3 1/2 ounces salt
2 ounces yeast
10 cups water
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 cup honey
6 pounds ground chuck and brisket
6 pounds ground pork
3 pounds ground veal
8 cups ketchup
6 cups breadcrumbs
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup Italian seasoning blend
1/2 cup seasoned salt (kosher salt, cracked black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder)
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
3 green bell peppers, chopped
3 red bell peppers, chopped
2 jumbo yellow onions, chopped
15 eggs, beaten
3 cups ketchup
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1/2 tablespoon chopped garlic
4 pints heirloom tomatoes, chopped
3 packs tomato medley, chopped
1 white onion, chopped
4 cups sugar
1 cup apple cider vinegar
2 rosemary sprigs, leaves stripped
Salt and ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
Buttermilk, as needed
Hot sauce, such as Texas Pete
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
Salt and ground black pepper
1 sweet onion, cut into thin rings
2 slices Texas toast (double-thickness sliced bread)
One 1/2-inch-thick slice meatloaf (about 6 ounces)
2 ounces SNS sauce
3 slices candied bacon
1/4 cup fried onion straws
2 tablespoons heirloom tomato jam
1/2 cup baby arugula

Steps:

  • For the white bread: Mix the flour, salt, yeast, water, heavy cream and honey in a large stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 15 minutes. Let rest.
  • Portion into 1 1/2-ounce balls, then shape into loaves. Place in greased bread pans and dust with flour. Proof for until the dough is 1 inch over the pans, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bake the loaves for 57 minutes. Remove from the pans and place on cooling racks. Cut into double-thick slices for Texas toast.
  • For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Thoroughly mix together the ground chuck and brisket, ground pork and veal. Once the meats are well blended, add the ketchup, breadcrumbs, brown sugar, Italian seasoning blend, seasoned salt, Worcestershire sauce, bell peppers, onions and eggs and mix well. Once all the ingredients are well blended, place the mixture into 4 loaf pans, filling each pan approximately 95 percent.
  • Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven, then from the loaf pans and place on a baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, for the meatloaf glaze: Whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl. Brush the meatloaves with the glaze. Return the meatloaves to the loaf pans and bake for an additional 30 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the loaf pans. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices (about 6 ounces each).
  • For the SNS sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, mustard, Cajun seasoning and garlic in a small bowl.
  • For the heirloom tomato jam: Place the tomatoes, onion, sugar and vinegar in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Once well combined, add the rosemary and season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
  • For the fried onion straws: Heat a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.
  • Stir some hot sauce into the buttermilk in a large bowl. Utilize the amount you want based on the temperature you are seeking--this is all personal preference!
  • Combine the flour with the garlic powder, onion powder and some salt and pepper in a shallow plate. Mix thoroughly.
  • Dip the onion rings into the buttermilk mixture, then coat in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
  • For the meatloaf sandwich: Grill the Texas toast slices on one side. Heat the meatloaf slice on a flat-top grill. Place the meatloaf atop the bottom bread slice. Top with the SNS sauce. Place the candied bacon on top. Cover the candied bacon with the onion straws. Top the onion straws with the tomato jam and arugula. Put on the top slice, cut on the diagonal and serve.

OUR FAVORITE MEATLOAF



Our Favorite Meatloaf image

This ultimate meatloaf recipe took rounds and rounds of testing to get just right. Our final version incorporates an ideal blend of seasoned ground beef and pork, aromatics, and breadcrumbs and bakes in a freeform loaf on a baking sheet instead of in a loaf pan for maximum browning. The result is a loaf that is savory, tender, and juicy, yet holds together well when sliced.

  • 1. Meat loaf: Combine all ingredients in meat loaf; mix well and put in a well sprayed loaf pan. Bake in 350^ oven for 1 hour. While this is baking: combine the picante topping ingredients, mixing well . After meatloaf has baked for 40 minutes remove from oven and drain any collected grease carefully so as not to burn yourself. Now Pour some of the Picante topping over top of meatloaf and place back in the oven to continue baking until done. Note : I have made this in the microwave several times using a glass loaf dish and it comes out great and needs only about 20 minutes to cook.--- This is so good with the topping- that I often make extra to serve with the meat slices.

BEST EVER MEATLOAF WITH BROWN GRAVY



Best Ever Meatloaf with Brown Gravy image

This is very tasty and old-fashioned. Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy. Divide into two recipes.

Provided by MARBALET

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Meatloaf Recipes     Beef Meatloaf Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ pounds ground beef
¾ cup fresh bread crumbs
½ cup chili sauce
1 egg
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, chili sauce, egg, salt, and freshly ground black pepper; mix well. Shape into an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
  • Place loaf pan on a rack in an oven-roasting pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until done. Cook until internal temperature measures 160 degrees F (70 degrees C); the meat should be well done, with no trace of pink. Remove from oven, and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  • While the meatloaf is resting, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onions; cook and stir until tender. Add beef broth; simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Combine water and cornstarch in a small cup; stir into broth. Cook and stir for 1 minute, or until thickened.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of ground meats. This will give your meatloaf a more complex flavor and texture. Good options include ground beef, pork, veal, lamb, and turkey.
  • Season your meatloaf well. Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt, pepper, and other spices. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and cumin.
  • Add some moisture to your meatloaf. This will help prevent it from drying out. Good options include eggs, milk, breadcrumbs, and grated vegetables.
  • Cook your meatloaf at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from drying out. A good rule of thumb is to cook your meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour per pound.
  • Let your meatloaf rest before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf sandwiches are a delicious and easy way to use up leftover meatloaf. They're perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can be made with a variety of different toppings and sides. So next time you have some leftover meatloaf, don't put it away in the fridge. Turn it into a delicious sandwich instead!
