Red Wine Meatloaf Food

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.

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.

THE BEST MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl until completely combined. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and lightly golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add 3 tablespoons of the ketchup and cook until most of the moisture has evaporated and the mixture is thick and brick red colored, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the onions cool slightly. Then add them to the beaten eggs and mix to combine.
• Add the beef to the egg and onion mixture. Break up the meat with a fork or wooden spoon, and then mix to thoroughly combine; you don't want to see any lumps of raw beef. Add the panko and mix to combine. Stir the meat vigorously with a wooden spoon for about 7 seconds; it will become more homogenous and tackier.
• Transfer the meat to the prepared baking sheet and shape into a 9-by-5-inch loaf. Smooth the top and evenly spread the remaining ketchup over top. Bake for 5 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 150 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

RED WINE GRAVY

Steps:

• In a medium or large saucepan, add the oil and sauté the onion over medium heat for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the red wine, Worcestershire sauce and dried thyme. Simmer for another couple of minutes.
• Now stir in the vegetable stock and the cornstarch mixture.
• Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring for 10 to 12 minutes, until the gravy has thickened and coats the stirring spoon well. Add a little more water or stock if the gravy gets too thick.

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 whole egg, egg yolk, chopped parsley, sage, thyme, salt, black pepper, nutmeg and cayenne and stir until smooth.
• 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.
