Hot Or Cold Meatloaf Food

MEATLOAF SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small skillet, heat oil over medium; add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until brick-red in color and fragrant, 3 minutes. In a large bowl, combine beef, onion mixture, crackers, cheese, eggs, horseradish, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper.
• On a parchment-lined baking sheet, use your hands to form mixture into a 9-inch loaf. Bake until cooked through, about 40 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before cutting into thick slices. To serve, place meatloaf slices between bread, topped with lettuce, pickles, and ketchup.

HOT OR COLD MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 370ºF.
• Put bread in processor and process to make crumbs, then tip into a bowl with the pork & chicken.
• Put the onion, garlic and herbs into the food processor and process until finely chopped.
• Add to the bowl with the parmesan and egg.
• Finely chop, 2 slices of the prosciutto and add to the mix with some salt and pepper.
• Mix well, but don't overwork, with your hands or a fork.
• Use the rest of the prosciutto to line a loaf pan.
• Spoon in an 8x4" meatloaf pan; mix and press down well.
• Flip the overhanging prosciutto over the top, then put the loaf pan into a roasting pan.
• Pour hot water from the kettle into the roasting pan to come halfway up the loaf pan and bake for 1 hr until loaf shrinks from the sides of pan.
• Cool in the pan for 10 mins, then drain off any excess liquid and turn out onto a board.
• Cut into thick slices and serve warm or cold with salad.

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.

COLD MEATLOAF WITH SQUASHED TOMATO & PEPPER SALSA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the mince, onion, eggs, crumbs, 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp black pepper into a large bowl. Roughly chop the oregano leaves and finely chop the thyme and rosemary leaves. Add the herbs and crushed garlic to the bowl, then mix very well with your hands. Grease a 900g/2lb loaf tin with a little oil, then press in the mince, leaving the top a little mounded. Scatter with a few more thyme leaves and drizzle with a little oil.
• Toss the peppers with the remaining garlic, 2 tbsp oil and chillies in a large roasting tin. Put the meatloaf and peppers into the oven, with the peppers on the shelf below the meat. Roast for 30 mins.
• Meanwhile, quarter the tomatoes or chop a little smaller if they are large. After 30 mins, stir the tomatoes, vinegar and sugar into the peppers, which should be starting to look soft and turning golden at the edges, then cook for 40 mins more. The meatloaf should be hot in the middle (test with a skewer), and the tomatoes looking soft and juicy.
• Pour the excess fat and juice away from the meatloaf, then leave to cool. Squash the tomatoes into the peppers with the back of a fork, tear in the basil and season. Put into a container. Wrap meatloaf and its tin in foil. Serve sliced in rolls with salsa and a handful of rocket.

MEATLOAF SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine chopped onion, garlic, parsley, egg, and 1/3 cup ketchup. Add breadcrumbs, beef, and pork. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix until well combined.
• Place mixture in a 6-cup capacity loaf pan (8-by-4-inch). Pat gently to form a rounded top; do not pack.
• Bake meatloaf 50 minutes. Remove from oven; brush with remaining 1/3 cup ketchup. Return to oven; bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center of loaf registers 160 degrees, 10 to 20 minutes. Cool meatloaf 10 minutes in pan before removing.
• Cut warm or cold meatloaf (see note) into 6 portions; place one on each of 6 slices of bread. Layer with lettuce and red onion, if using, and top with another slice of bread. Serve with additional ketchup, if desired.

• Pour hot water from the kettle into the roasting tray to come halfway up the loaf tin and bake for 1 hr until loaf shrinks from the sides of tin.
• Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then drain off any excess liquid and turn out onto a board. Cut into thick slices and serve warm or cold with salad.
