MEATLOAF FOR MEATLOAF HATERS

Steps:

• Dice and saute onion, green onion (including most of the green parts)and celery.
• When your saute is transparent, add the garlic. (I usually slice mine with a cheese grater).
• Continue until onions are lightly browned. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Finely chop parsley.
• Breifly soak bread in water.
• Add bread, egg, and all other ingredients to the meat in a large bowl; knead together.
• Add small amounts of the V8 until it is gone or the consistency feels right to you. It should be well bound, but with a good amount of moisture to it.
• Mold the meat into buttered loaf pan.
• Turn the mold over onto a flat baking sheet, letting it fall down onto the pan to get the meat back out if necessary.
• Cook for 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Why sour cream? Its added moisture (fat not grease)you will lose from all of the nasty grease/fat you will see hanging off the sides of the loaf when it is done. Why bread? Still used as a binder, but without all of the moisture loss of breadcrumbs or cracker crumbs. Why V8? 8 wonderful veggies in a tomato liquid, I have found it is perfect for this meatloaf.

THE "I DON'T LIKE MEATLOAF" MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl- mix together well (using hands, as gross as it may be).
• Mold mixture into a"loaf", place into 8x11 baking dish (I try to make sure the meatloaf doesn't touch the sides, it makes for easier cleanup).
• Spread more ketchup on the top of the meatloaf.
• Bake at 350 for 50 minutes to an hour.
• My favorite sides to go with this are mashed potatoes and green beans.
• You can be creative with this recipe- use spicy sausage if you like spicy; sage if you like that taste, etc You can also add chopped onions, green peppers, or salsa- I don't, but only because my kids won't eat it.
• (Bonus: if your kids are veggie haters like mine- they never even notice the mushrooms).

MEATLOAF FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• For the glaze:.
• Combine ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, balsamic vinegar and hot sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until just starting to bubble. Reduce heat to low and simmer slowly until meatloaf is ready to go into the oven.
• For the meatloaf:.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by covering with foil and then placing a cooling rack inside, also covered with foil and poking several holes for grease drainage.
• Heat the butter or oil in a medium skillet. Add the onion and saute until soft and slightly brown. Add garlic and continue to cook until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Set aside to cool.
• Beat the eggs, thyme, salt, pepper, cayenne, mustard, worcestershire, liquid heat, yogurt or milk in a large bowl. Add the cooled onion mixture. Add the crackers and the beef and pork and combine well with a fork or your hands. Be certain that there are no unmixed pockets of meat or cracker mixture.
• With wet hands, turn the mixture onto the prepared pan and pat into a squared loaf shape. Remove the glaze from the heat and brush a generous amount over the loaf. Arrange the bacon slices crosswise, overlapping slightly and tucking the ends under with a spatula.
• Bake until the bacon is crisp and the loaf temperature is 160 degrees, about an hour and 15 minutes. Cool at least 20 minutes. Serve with the remaining glaze on the side.
