Patti Labelle Meatloaf Recipes Ground Beef Food

BLACK FOLKS SOUTHERN SOUL FOOD MEATLOAF RECIPE

Steps:

• Season the ground beef with the all-purpose seasoning salt and set it aside.
• Add the sweet ketchup and brown sugar to a small bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves. Set the ketchup mixture aside.
• Open the Instant Pot and turn on the sauté setting for 5 minutes.
• Keep the lid off and add the butter, onion, bell peppers, and garlic to the stainless-steel inner pot.
• Sauté the vegetables in the butter for about 2 minutes or until the onions and peppers have softened.
• Turn off the sauté setting and remove from the heat the inner pot with the onion and pepper mixture.
• In a large bowl, mix the bread crumbs and the milk.
• Then mix in the egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, thyme, basil, parsley, paprika, pepper, and the sautéed vegetables.
• Gently mix the seasoned ground beef into the other ingredients until all the ingredients are well combined. (You can do the mixing by kneading with your hands, stirring by hand, or with a stand mixer on low.)
• Form a loaf with the ground beef meat mixture and place it in a pre-greased loaf pan that fits inside the Instant Pot inner pot. Or place the meatloaf on a piece of greased aluminum foil that you wrap around it like a boat. The foil should come above the meatloaf on all sides but not cover the top of the loaf. Pro tip: You can make multiple little meatloaves and place them side by side or stacked in the Instant Pot. If you have multiple trivet racks, you can use another one as a shelf to stack!
• Spoon or brush the top of the meatloaf with the set-aside ketchup mixture.
• Pour the water into the Instant Pot stainless steel inner pot and add the Instant Pot trivet rack to the pot.
• Place the foil-wrapped meatloaf or meatloaf in a pan on the trivet rack.
• Close the Instant Pot lid (make sure the valve is up - in the position for sealing) and pressure cook on high for 35 minutes.
• When the cooking time is finished, allow a natural pressure release for at least 5 minutes.
• To open the Instant Pot lid, move the valve to 'venting' and manually release any remaining pressure, if applicable.
• Use an oven mitt to remove the meatloaf using the trivet rack handles.
• Remove the meatloaf from the foil or pan, being very careful because the drippings will be hot!
• Optionally garnish your meatloaf with fresh chopped parsley or fresh sprigs of thyme.
• Then slice this Black folks' Southern soul food meatloaf on a platter, serve, and enjoy!

MEATLOAF PATTIES

Steps:

• Mix egg, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl. Break ground beef into small pieces and add to the bowl; mix well with your hands until beef is evenly moistened. Shape the beef mixture into four patties.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties in hot skillet until completely browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side; remove to a platter and drain grease from skillet.
• Return skillet to medium heat. Stir tomato sauce, green onions, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and yellow mustard together in the skillet. Gently lie the patties into the sauce; bring liquid to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the patties are very firm, hot, and grey in the center, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
