Graham Cracker Meatloaf Oamc Food

MAKE AHEAD OAMC MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Mix cracker crumbs, ground beef, onion, egg, salt, pepper, and 1/2 can of tomato sauce in large bowl.
• Divide into two small or one large loaf pan.
• Pat mixture into loaf pans evenly.
• Go wash your nasty hands, ewww!
• Cover top of each loaf with rest of tomato sauce (you may use ketchup as well, if so you will only need a small can of tomato sauce. My family doesn't like the sweetness of ketchup in this dish.).
• Cover with heavy duty foil, label, and freeze.
• When ready to make, thaw loaves completely.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake thawed loaves 1-1/2 hours (depends on if you are using the large or smaller ones.).
• Enjoy!

GRAHAM CRACKERS

Steps:

• Place both flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon into the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Add the molasses, milk and vanilla extract and process until the dough forms a ball, approximately 1 minute. Press the ball into a 1/2-inch thick disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Unwrap the chilled dough and place it onto a large piece of parchment paper and top with a second sheet of parchment paper. Roll the dough out until it is 1/8-inch thick. Slide the rolled dough and parchment paper onto a half sheet pan. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and cut the dough, using a rolling pizza cutter into 2-inch square pieces, by making vertical and then horizontal cuts all the way across the dough. Trim off any excess. Using a fork, poke holes all over the top of the dough. Leave the crackers on the pan and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 25 minutes or until the edges just start to darken. Remove from the oven, set the sheet pan with the crackers on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Once completely cool, break into individual crackers and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients until thoroughly combined.
• Place in loaf pan OR 8x8 pan.
• Drizzle with ketchup or BBQ sauce if desired.

GRAM'S HAM LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet or jellyroll pan with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, mix the smoked ham and ground pork together until thoroughly mixed, and lightly mix in the graham crackers, evaporated milk, and eggs. Form the mixture into two loaves, and place the loaves onto the prepared baking sheet.
• In a saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the tomato soup, brown sugar, vinegar, water, and dry mustard until well combined. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the brown sugar. Pour about 1 cup of sauce over each ham loaf, reserving remaining sauce.

THE MOST EASY AND DELISH MEATLOAF EVER!

ZUCCHINI BREAKFAST JUMBO MUFFINS (OAMC)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Mix all ingredients (I don't think order of ingredients necessarily matters).
• Blend with handmixer or Kitchenaide very well, about 2 minutes.
• Grease and fill jumbo muffin tins at least 3/4 full, but I do it to the top.
• Bake for 35 minutes or until fork comes out clean from center.
• To make this an OAMC recipe, you can either make the batter and freeze it, just thaw and fill tins and bake as normal. OR you can make the muffins and thaw them in the microwave.

MEATLOAF WITH SALTINE CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, then fit the sheet with a wire rack. Brush a 10-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan with olive oil and place on rack; set aside. Place saltines in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade; pulse until fine crumbs form. You should have about 1 cup crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl and add ground beef.
• On the large holes of a box grater, grate carrot (should measure 1 cup grated) and onion (about 2/3 cup grated). Drain excess juice from onion. Add carrot and onion to meat mixture, then grate garlic on the fine holes of the grater (1 teaspoon). Add to bowl along with parsley, eggs, 1/2 cup ketchup, Worcestershire, 1 tablespoon Dijon, salt and pepper. Use hands to combine thoroughly. Transfer to prepared loaf pan.
• Combine remaining 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon Dijon and brown sugar in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and no sugar lumps remain.
• Spread mixture evenly over top of meatloaf. Place in oven, atop wire rack and bake until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Tent with foil if top begins to brown too quickly. Remove from oven and let cool 1 hour before slicing. Serve.
