Time 1h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 carrot, coarsely chopped
1 rib celery, coarsely chopped
½ onion, coarsely chopped
½ red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
4 white mushrooms, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 ½ pounds ground chuck
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup plain bread crumbs
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
hot pepper sauce to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Place the carrot, celery, onion, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic in a food processor, and pulse until very finely chopped, almost to a puree. Place the minced vegetables into a large mixing bowl, and mix in ground chuck, Worcestershire sauce, and egg. Add Italian herbs, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix gently with a wooden spoon to incorporate vegetables and egg into the meat. Pour in bread crumbs. With your hand, gently mix in the crumbs with your fingertips just until combined, about 1 minute.
  • Form the meatloaf into a ball. Pour olive oil into a baking dish and place the ball of meat into the dish. Shape the ball into a loaf, about 4 inches high by 6 inches across.
  • Bake in the preheated oven just until the meatloaf is hot, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce. Stir until the brown sugar has dissolved.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the oven. With the back of a spoon, smooth the glaze onto the top of the meatloaf, then pull a little bit of glaze down the sides of the meatloaf with the back of the spoon.
  • Return meatloaf to oven, and bake until the loaf is no longer pink inside and the glaze has baked onto the loaf, 30 to 40 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cooking time will depend on shape and thickness of the meatloaf.

SAVORY MEATLOAF AND VEGETABLES



Savory Meatloaf and Vegetables image

Another favourite Campbell's Soup recipe. For years, I thought this soup was no longer on the market and I was so sad because this is the best meat loaf I've ever tasted. Just for the heck of it, I recently asked my mom to look for it in the big city and guess what? It IS still available, just not out in the boonies where we live! I was so excited. You can bet this will be a regular in our home once again, now that I've seriously stocked up on Golden Mushroom Soup!!!! For a slightly different flavour, substitute 1/4 cup of the water for Burgundy or other dry red wine.

SAVORY BUTTERMILK MEATLOAF



Savory Buttermilk Meatloaf image

This meatloaf recipe is very flavorful, and as the proverbial description goes, 'melts in your mouth.' As far as vegetables, I only used onions, but their sweetness, along with the simple brown sugar glaze, were a great counterpoint to the others flavors.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Meatloaf Recipes

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, diced
2 ½ pounds ground chuck
1 cup dry bread crumbs
¾ cup buttermilk
½ cup ketchup
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon hot sauce
½ teaspoon dried tarragon
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot butter until soft and translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  • Combine cooled onion, beef chuck, bread crumbs, buttermilk, ketchup, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, hot sauce, tarragon, and Italian seasoning in a bowl; mix together with a fork and let sit until breadcrumbs absorb moisture, about 10 minutes.
  • Turn meatloaf mixture out into the center of the prepared baking sheet and form into a 9x5-inch loaf.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. While meatloaf is baking, whisk brown sugar, mustard, and cider vinegar together in a small bowl. Spread brown sugar glaze over the top of the meatloaf and continue baking until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat: For a flavorful meatloaf, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. You can also use ground turkey or chicken, but they may be less flavorful.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to meatloaf. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, and mushrooms.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the meatloaf, such as garlic, onion powder, paprika, and thyme. You can also add a bit of heat with cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a low temperature: Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Savory meatloaf and vegetables is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and moist meatloaf that the whole family will love.
