Meatloaf Spiked With Red Wine Food

RED WINE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350.
• Heat the ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic and Italian seasoning and cook until the onion and celery are tender, about 10 minutes. After cooking the veggies, remove from heat and set aside to allow to cool for a few minutes.
• While the veggies are cooking, chop your basil and Italian parsley.
• Add the chopped basil, Italian parsley, tomato sauce and breadcrumbs to the cooked veggies.
• Place the ground beef and ground pork in a large mixing bowl. Pour the veggie mixture into the bowl with the meat and season with salt and pepper. Add the red wine. Gently mix together.
• Press the meat mixture into an 8x4 loaf pan and form the top into a rounded shape.
• Bake for 45 minutes or until the internal temp is 150. Ovens can vary so it may take more or less time. My convection oven took about 50 minutes.
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven and drain any excess liquid. There will most likely be a lot of excess liquid due to the fat content of the beef and pork.
• Allow the meatloaf to cool for 10-15 minutes and then carefully remove from the loaf pan and slice.

MEAT LOAF WITH RED WINE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F
• In a large bowl, combine the bread pieces with the milk and mash to a paste.

• Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano and dry bread crumbs and stir until thoroughly combined.
• In a medium skillet, melt the butter.
• Add the onion and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 7 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, 1 minute longer.
• Let cool, then transfer to the bowl.
• Add the lamb, pork and veal and knead until evenly combined.
• Brush a medium oval baking dish with oil or cooking spray
• Transfer the meat loaf mixture to the dish and pat it into a 4-by-12-inch oval loaf.
• Bake for about 50 minutes, or until firm but not quite cooked through.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the red wine with the sugar, chopped tomato, molasses and allspice and bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
• Boil until the glaze is thick and syrupy, about 15 minutes.
• Brush half of the glaze over the meat loaf.
• Continue baking for about 20 minutes longer, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 150°F; brush once more with the remaining glaze during baking.
• Let the meat loaf rest for 15 minutes, then thickly slice and serve.

CLASSIC MEATLOAF RECIPE - THE BEST!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9" by 5" loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, lightly beat two eggs.
• Place onion, celery, carrot, and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add to bowl with eggs.
• Add ground meat, bread crumbs, parsley, milk, 1/4 cup ketchup, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine. Go ahead and use your hands. Don't over mix; ingredients should be just combined. Press lightly into prepared pan.
• In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and red wine vinegar. Brush meatloaf with half of ketchup mixture and bake for 35 minutes.
• Brush with remaining ketchup mixture; return to the oven and bake for another 55 minutes or until middle of the loaf reaches at least 165ºF when checked with an instant-read thermometer. Internal temperature will continue to rise as the meatloaf rests.
• Let meatloaf rest 15 minutes before removing from pan or slicing.

CLASSIC SPICY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, green onions, carrot, celery, and garlic until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Cover skillet with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until carrot is tender, about 5 more minutes. Stir 1/3 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper into vegetable mixture; cook until warmed through, about 1 minute.
• Mix ground beef, sausage, vegetable mixture, bread crumbs, parsley, and eggs in a large bowl; form into a loaf and place in a rectangular baking pan with 2-inch high sides. Cover loaf with remaining 1/3 cup ketchup.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

CLASSIC MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the carrot, celery, onion, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic in a food processor, and pulse until very finely chopped, almost to a puree. Place the minced vegetables into a large mixing bowl, and mix in ground chuck, Worcestershire sauce, and egg. Add Italian herbs, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix gently with a wooden spoon to incorporate vegetables and egg into the meat. Pour in bread crumbs. With your hand, gently mix in the crumbs with your fingertips just until combined, about 1 minute.
• Form the meatloaf into a ball. Pour olive oil into a baking dish and place the ball of meat into the dish. Shape the ball into a loaf, about 4 inches high by 6 inches across.
• Bake in the preheated oven just until the meatloaf is hot, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce. Stir until the brown sugar has dissolved.
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven. With the back of a spoon, smooth the glaze onto the top of the meatloaf, then pull a little bit of glaze down the sides of the meatloaf with the back of the spoon.
• Return meatloaf to oven, and bake until the loaf is no longer pink inside and the glaze has baked onto the loaf, 30 to 40 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cooking time will depend on shape and thickness of the meatloaf.
