MEATLOAF - THE ULTIMATE COMFORT FOOD

Steps:

• Position oven rack to middle position; preheat to 400 degrees.
• Line heavy, rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Place cooling rack atop baking sheet.
• Spray cooling rack with nonstick spray.
• Toss bread cubes with half and half in large bowl to coat.
• Set aside until bread is very soft and all liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
• Add ground beef, parsley, shallots, cheese, tomato paste, eggs, oregano, thyme, pepper, salt, seasoned salt and rosemary.
• Using clean hands, mix just until all ingredients are thoroughly blended, but do not over-mix because doing so causes meat loaf to be tough.
• Form mixture into a 9-by-4-inch oval loaf.
• Set meat loaf atop the prepared rack on baking sheet.
• Bake for 10 minutes, and then turn it over, and then about 1 hour or until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees when inserted into center of meatloaf.
• Allow meatloaf to rest for 15 minutes (this will help keep it moist).
• Using a large sharp knife cut meatloaf crosswise into thick slices.

MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH MEAT LOAF

Steps:

• Combine eggs, milk, bread crumbs, onion, salt, sage, and mushrooms in a large bowl. Crumble ground beef over mixture and stir well to combine. Shape into a round loaf; place in a 5-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 5 to 6 hours.

"WHAT YOU GOT" MEATLOAF ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• For the glaze: In a medium bowl, add the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Whisk to combine and set aside.
• For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven or grill to 375 degrees F. If using a gas grill, set to medium heat on one side and low on the other side. If using a charcoal grill, bank medium-hot coals on one side of the grill.
• Prepare your pan: Line a baking sheet with foil if using an oven. If grilling, gather a sturdy grilling tray, disposable foil pan or some sheets of foil.
• In a large bowl, add the meat, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, cayenne, paprika, Old Bay, Worcestershire sauce, eggs and garlic. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and season well with salt and pepper.
• Put the meat mixture on the prepared tray. Form the meat into a loaf around the kielbasa, if using, so the sausage is sealed inside. Spread the glaze over the top. Bake in the oven or on the cooler side of the grill, covered, until cooked through and the glaze is sticky, about 1 hour.
• Serve with potatoes or a side salad or use on a sandwich.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Remove the outer papery skin from the garlic, then cut 1/4 inch off the top of each head. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over each head of garlic, then wrap each head in foil. Seal the foil packets and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Roast until completely soft and caramelized, about 1 hour. Allow to cool slightly.
• When cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic cloves from the skin into a medium bowl and mash with a fork into a paste.
