MAMA'S MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Some cooks put all ingredients into a loaf pan "raw", but I prefer to sauté the onions first to take the "bite" out of them.
• Drain and set aside to cool.
• Into a large bowl place the ground beef, bread crumbs, catsup, egg, Worcestershire sauce and parsley.
• Add the sautéed onions to this mixture.
• Wash your hands and delve into this mixture like a mad man, squish it between your fingers and mix it very well.
• Form a loaf in a baking dish, leaving at least 1-inch around the sides so fat can drain off.
• Bake at 350°F about 45 minutes or until done.
• Serve this delicious meatloaf as is or with my recipe for curry sauce.

NOT MY MOMMA'S MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pulse the celery, carrots and onions in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the oil to a saute pan over medium-low heat, then add the chopped veggies and cook, covered, until translucent. Transfer the veggies to a plate and cool in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, mix together the panko, buttermilk, ketchup, Worcestershire and eggs in a bowl. Add the parsley, salt, black pepper and cayenne and mix well. Once the veggies are cool, add them to the mixture and incorporate. Next add the ground beef and pork and mix thoroughly with your hands.
• Line two loaf pans with parchment paper and divide the meatloaf mixture between them. Cover with foil and bake until the meatloaves reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 1 hour. Slice and serve immediately, or cool, slice and reheat. Serve with Herb Aioli and Spicy Hollandaise.
• Add the mayonnaise, olive oil, sage, green onions, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and egg yolks to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and well incorporated.
• Melt the butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Blend the yolks, hot sauce, wine, salt and pepper in a blender, then drizzle in the melted butter while blending, until the sauce is smooth.
