Spicy Italian Sausage Meatloaf Food

SPICY SAUSAGE MEATLOAF PATTIES WITH ITALIAN BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat a small skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. When the oil is hot, saute the red pepper, half the onions, celery and carrots together, 5 minutes, season with salt and pepper then remove to a plate to cool.
• Mix ground beef and sausages with egg, bread crumbs, cheese, and cooled vegetables. Form 4 large oval shaped patties no more than 1 1/4 inches thick then drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Place in the oven on a cookie sheet and bake 17 to 18 minutes, until cooked through.
• Heat a medium sauce pot over medium high heat. Add a drizzle of EVOO to the pan and the pancetta. Let the pancetta crisp up a bit and render fat, then add onions and garlic and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add a splash of red wine to deglaze the pan. Stir in the beef stock and tomatoes and season sauce heavily with coarse black pepper. Add Worcestershire and hot sauce and reduce heat to warm.
• Serve meatloaves with Italian barbecue sauce on top and green salad alongside.

MEATLOAF WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Chop sausage finely. In a large bowl combine beef, sausage, egg beat, bell pepper, onion, cereal, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Mix together and press into a loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until cooked through. Drain grease from loaf pan periodically during baking. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE MARKET MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the chili sauce with the water. Add the oats, egg, chili powder, Worcestershire, and mix well. Add the decased sausage and the ground turkey or beef. Add the bell pepper, onion and corn and mix well. Divide the meat mixture in half. Lay half the meat mixture in a lightly greased 9 x 5 x 3" loaf pan. Create a shallow indent in the meat allowing the edges to rise along the edge of the pan. Layer the provolone and the spinach leaves on top of the meat along the center, staying about 1/2 inch away from the edges. Cover completely with the 2nd half of the meat mixture forming a domed top and sealing the edges. Bake uncovered for 50 minutes. Spread the remaining 1/4 cup chili sauce over the top of the loaf and bake until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf registers 165 degrees F. About 15-20 minutes longer. Allow the loaf to stand for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• With one hand, mix the ground turkey, Italian sausage and steak seasoning together in a bowl.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well with your hands.
• Smooth mixture out in same bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
• Refrigerate for at least one hour.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Remove meat mixture from the refrigerator.
• Put the meat mixture in a baking dish or cake pan.
• Shape it so that the meat does not touch the sides of the dish or pan.
• This allows room for the meatloaf to expand.
• Bake for an hour to an hour and 15 minutes, depending on thickness of the loaf.
• Remove from oven and let stand for about 10 minutes to allow meat to"set".

SPICY CAJUN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except one cup of ketchup and the meats in a large mixing bowl. Add the meats and knead well, then put in three 4-by-8 glass or metal bread pans (I use 1 1/2 quart Pyrex glass bread pans). The remaining cup of ketchup will be used later.
• Cover with tinfoil and bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes.
• Pour off grease, bake another 30 minutes, pour off grease.
• Remove tinfoil, spread remaining cup of catsup over the top of the meatloaf and along the sides, and bake about 10 minutes until catsup begins to caramelize and slightly blacken - this must be watched closely so as not to burn.
• The carmelized and blackened catsup on the top of the meatloaf and the sides of the pan both add a great flavor to the meatloaf.
• Cut contents of each bread pan into four 2 inch wide pieces. Makes 12 pieces, each 2 inches wide, 4 inches long, and 3 inches high.
• This makes a mild to medium hot meatloaf, if you want it milder or hotter, change the three peppers by 1/4 teaspoon each.
