Mashed Potatoes In Meatloaf Food

MASHED POTATO-STUFFED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• For the mashed potatoes: Poke each potato with a fork several times and microwave until soft, about 15 minutes (or use your microwave?s potato setting). Cool until you are able to handle them with a towel, about 2 minutes. Halve the potatoes and scoop out the flesh with a spoon and discard the skin. Mash the potatoes and butter in a medium bowl until smooth then fold in the sour cream, chives and 1 teaspoon salt until well combined. Set aside.
• For the meatloaf: Toast the bread crumbs in a dry skillet over medium heat until browned and fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside. Add the oil, onions, garlic, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring, until onions are tender, about 8 minutes. Let cool slightly. Add the onion mixture to the bread crumbs along with the meatloaf mix, Parmesan and Worcestershire sauce. Toss and mix gently. Add the eggs and mix it completely into the meat mixture.
• Transfer 1/2 of the meatloaf mixture to the prepared baking sheet and gently press into a 12- by-3-inch rectangle. Gently create a well down the middle of the meatloaf mixture with a 1/2-inch wall on all four sides. Spoon the mashed potato mixture into the well. Working with a quarter of the remaining meatloaf mixture, gently flatten the mixture with the palms of your hands. Lay the meatloaf mixture over 1/2 of the mashed potatoes. Repeat with the remaining meatloaf mixture ensuring the potatoes are completely enclosed.
• For the glaze: Whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar in a small bowl. Spoon the glaze evenly over the entire loaf.
• Bake until an instant read thermometer registers 160 degrees F in the center of the loaf, about 45 minutes.
• While the meatloaf is cooking, cook the peas according to package directions. Toss with the butter and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Slice and serve the meatloaf with butter, black pepper and the peas.

THE MOTHERLOAF

Steps:

• For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the cracker crumbs, oats and milk to soften in a medium bowl. Combine the ground chuck, ground pork, onions, milk, parsley, celery, ketchup, green peppers, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, mustard, marjoram, thyme, seasoned salt and eggs in a large bowl. Add the oats mixture and mix well, but do not over-mix.
• Portion the meat mixture into eight 8-ounce cupcakes and place into the prepared muffin pan. Smooth the tops of each portion. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, about 30 minutes. Unmold and set on paper towels to absorb any additional liquid. (The meatloaf can also be cooked in a loaf pan.)
• For the mashed potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces. Place in a pot covered with cold salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well. Place the potatoes, milk, sour cream and butter in a mixing bowl and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• For immediate enjoyment, using ice cream scoop, scoop the potatoes on top of a meatloaf cupcake. Serve with your favorite gravy.

• On a foil-lined baking sheet, form meat mixture into a 6-inch-long loaf; brush with half the barbecue sauce. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in loaf registers 160 degrees, 25 to 30 minutes, brushing halfway through with remaining sauce.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, cover potatoes with cold salted water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain; return to pan. Stir over medium until a starchy film forms on bottom of pan, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; mash with buttermilk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
