Frosted Meatloaf Food

FROSTED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Put the bread slices in a large mixing bowl, pour the milk over them and let them soak until they have absorbed the milk.
• Add the the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and parsley to the bowl, mix it up (this is best done with clean hands) and add the eggs. Mix again.
• Pat the mixture into a loaf shape. Line a rimmed baking pan with foil, put a cooking rack on it and put your meatloaf on the rack (this will let the fat drain off as it cooks).
• Put the ketchup and brown sugar in a mixing bowl and stir it up. Pour it over the top of the meatloaf and spread it over the sides with a spatula.
• Bake for your meatloaf for an hour, then take it out of the oven and let it sit. Increase the oven temperature to 450.
• Cool meatloaf for 10 minutes, then "frost" top and sides with warm mashed potatoes. Brush with melted butter and return to oven and bake until potatoes are brown on the edges, about 5-10 minutes. Slice and serve!

THE BEST MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl until completely combined. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and lightly golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add 3 tablespoons of the ketchup and cook until most of the moisture has evaporated and the mixture is thick and brick red colored, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the onions cool slightly. Then add them to the beaten eggs and mix to combine.
• Add the beef to the egg and onion mixture. Break up the meat with a fork or wooden spoon, and then mix to thoroughly combine; you don't want to see any lumps of raw beef. Add the panko and mix to combine. Stir the meat vigorously with a wooden spoon for about 7 seconds; it will become more homogenous and tackier.
• Transfer the meat to the prepared baking sheet and shape into a 9-by-5-inch loaf. Smooth the top and evenly spread the remaining ketchup over top. Bake for 5 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 150 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

FROSTED SANDWICH LOAF

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the ground ham, 1/2 cup of salad dressing, 3 tablespoons of relish, and onion. Set aside in the refrigerator.
• In another bowl, mix together the ground bologna, 3 tablespoons of relish, and 1/2 cup of salad dressing. Set aside in the refrigerator.
• In a third bowl, stir together 1 package of cream cheese, walnuts, green olives, and 2 tablespoons of milk. Set aside in the refrigerator.
• In a fourth bowl, mix together the Cheddar cheese, 1 package of cream cheese, 3 tablespoons of salad dressing, onion salt, garlic salt, and celery salt. Set aside in the refrigerator.
• Spread the ham spread onto the bottom slice of bread, then top with another slice. Cover the next slice with bologna spread, and top with another slice. Spread the next slice with the nut spread, and then top with another slice of bread. Top this slice with the Cheddar cheese spread. Top with one more slice of the bread. Smooth the sides with a large spatula or knife, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes before 'frosting' to make it easier.
• Mix together the 2 remaining packages of cream cheese, and enough milk to make it spreadable. Frost the sides of the loaf first, then the top. Decorate with sweet pickles and pimentos to your liking.

FROSTED MEATLOAF (BEEF OR TURKEY)

Steps:

• In large bowl mix ground meat and A-1 sauce, minced onion, cilantro. Add beaten eggs, mix well. Add crackers or bread crumbs and catalina dressing and white pepper. Mix. Add cheese 1/2 cup at a time and mix, then add another until all cheese is mixed.
• Form into an oval loaf, place in low side baking pan. Chill if desired.
• Bake 350* 1 hour. Allow ten more minutes if chilled. I suggest placing a pan on the rack underneath to catch any grease drips from beef or turkey and the melted cheese sometimes drips from the bottom side. I have used a sharp cheese also. When cold this makes an excellent cold meat loaf sandwich. Some family members prefer cold.
• Cook 3 medium potatoes in water or microwave, peel and mash. Add beaten egg and miracle whip and salt. You may prepare instant potatoes if you desire. Make sure they are a little on the stiff side before adding the egg, miracle whip and salt.
• When loaf is baked, frost with mashed potatoes. Spread on with spatula. Make peaks all over it.You can also brush melted margarine over it but watch carefully when it is broiling.
• Broil about 5 inches away until peaks are browned. Take out of oven. Sprinkle with paprika if desired. Broil fresh mushrooms at the same time.
• Let set ten minutes before serving. Cut in wedges. Serve on a platter with broiled fresh mushrooms surrounding the loaf and slices of lemon in between.
