SWEET AND SPICY MEATLOAF

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 green bell peppers, diced small
2 red bell peppers, diced small
1 large yellow onion, diced small
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup whole milk
2 heads garlic, roasted and mashed into a paste
2 heads garlic, roasted and mashed into a paste
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup steak sauce
1/4 cup sriracha
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning
2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
3 eggs, beaten
1 bunch fresh Italian parsley, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mashed potatoes, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the green peppers, red peppers and onions until very soft and browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate or baking sheet and refrigerate until cold. (This can be done a day ahead.)
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix the breadcrumbs, milk and roasted garlic in a bowl; it should have an oatmeal-like consistency. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix the ketchup, steak sauce, sriracha, maple syrup and steak seasoning. If the sauce is too spicy for you, add a little more ketchup to mellow the heat. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, combine the ground beef, sausage, parsley, eggs, pepper-onion mixture and two-thirds of the meatloaf sauce. Mix well, but don't overwork. Take a small ball of the mixture and make a bite-size patty. Saute the patty in a pan until cooked through, then taste. Add salt and pepper to the meatloaf mix as needed.
  • When you are happy with the flavor, place the meatloaf mixture in a greased loaf pan, or form it into a log and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven; adjust the oven to a low broil. Brush the top of the loaf with half of the remaining sauce, then return to the oven to caramelize the sauce, 2 to 3 minutes. Let rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with mashed potatoes and a drizzle of the remaining sauce.

SWEET & SPICY GLAZED BUTTERMILK MEATLOAF



Sweet & Spicy Glazed Buttermilk Meatloaf image

Panko bread crumbs really make the difference here. When the Panko is soaked with the buttermilk, it forms a squishy texture that is different from regular bread crumbs. The meatloaf will have a light consistency while, at the same time, a rich flavor from the buttermilk. Panko is Japanese breadcrumbs and available in most grocery stores. Note: Leftovers make great meatloaf sandwiches.

SWEET POTATO-TURKEY MEATLOAF



Sweet Potato-Turkey Meatloaf image

I initially created this recipe after one my grandmother used to make with beef and regular mashed potatoes. Instead, I substituted mashed sweet potatoes and used ground turkey. It tastes even better the next day when slices are grilled in a pan with butter, then place on bread slices to make a sandwich. The biggest secret to the taste is the sweetness from the sweet potato!

I got this from a co-worker a couple of years ago. THIS IS THE ONLY MEATLOAF MY HUSBAND WILL EAT!! It's the only one I make now- it really is THAT good.

SWEET AND SPICY MEATLOAF



Sweet and Spicy Meatloaf image

I first had this at a church supper. It was delicious and asked for the recipe. I was amazed to see that there were not many ingredients in it. I now make this one and alternate it with my regular one Recipe #102545. The Sweet & Spicy Meatloaf has only a few ingredients and is delicious, and my regular one has more in it, but is delicious too. This has a nice sauce on top. I always thought that if there were more ingredients in a meatloaf, it would taste better, but not necessarily so. This is very,very tasty!

SWEET MEATLOAF



Sweet Meatloaf image

If you are looking for a meatloaf that is slightly different with a sweet twist. This is perfect. My family doestn't like the traditional meatloaf. It's funny because my husband will bring this recipe up to people he doesn't even know sometimes and there for awhile my one teenage son was asking for it at least twice a week. That always makes me feel good. Anyway... Give it a try and I hope you like it as much as my family does.

Provided by Chef Mindy

Categories     Meat

Time 1h35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs ground beef
2 1/2 cups butter flavored crackers
1 onion
1 carrot
1 stalk celery
1 bell pepper, any type
2 eggs
3/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup water
1 cup ketchup
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons mustard
1/2 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Cut up the onion, carrot, celery and bellpepper and put it in a frying pan with water on medium to cook until it is soft and the onion starts to look a little translucient. If you need to add a little more water that is okay but when you add them to the ground beef mixture DO NOT add any liquid that is left. I turn them off to cool a bit while I start adding the other ingredients in a bowl.
  • In a large bowl mix the ground beef, crackers(or saltines). Make sure you crush the crackers real good. Add the eggs, 3/4 ketchup, 1/4 brown sugar and the veggies that you cooked. Mix together until blended.
  • Press together into a square pan. I use a larger pan instead of a meatloaf pan because I sometimes will add a little bit more meat and I like the room for the sauce.
  • Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees in a preheated oven. While the meatloaf is cooking mix together the ingredients for the sauce, 1 cup ketcup, salt, mustard and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
  • After 1 hour drain any excess grease from your pan and add the sauce on top and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Enjoy !

A great meatloaf that is easy to prepare. It is very yummy. My husband asked me if I'd remember how to make it. I said no, so he made me write down how to make it so I wouldn't forget. My picky 4-year old likes it.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your sweet meatloaf. Look for ground chuck or ground sirloin that is at least 80% lean.
  • Add plenty of moisture. Sweet meatloaf can be dry, so it's important to add plenty of moisture. This can be done with ketchup, tomato sauce, or even applesauce.
  • Use a variety of spices. Sweet meatloaf is a great opportunity to experiment with different spices. Some good options include garlic, onion, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Don't overcook the meatloaf. Sweet meatloaf is best when it is cooked just until it is done. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more flavorful and moist.

Conclusion:

Sweet meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and savory flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give sweet meatloaf a try. You won't be disappointed.
