The Cadillac Of Meatloaf Food

CLASSIC MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Combine the meatloaf mix, breadcrumbs, parsley, eggs, onion, garlic, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, 1 tablespoon of the Worcestershire, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large mixing bowl. Using your hands, mix together until well combined.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and form it into a compact oval-shaped loaf about 9 inches by 5 inches. Bake the meatloaf for 30 minutes.
• Stir the brown sugar together with the remaining 1/4 cup ketchup and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire in a small bowl for the glaze. Brush the top and sides of the meatloaf all over with the glaze. Return to the oven and bake until the glaze starts to caramelize and a thermometer inserted in the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

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.

BEEF AND PORK MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Mix meats.
• Mix spices, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper together.
• Lightly beat eggs with water.
• Chop up mushrooms.
• Combine all the above, shape into a loaf, cover lightly with foil, and bake at 350°F for about one hour, removing the foil after 30 minutes.

VEAL MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Cut parchment paper long enough to hang over the wide side of a large loaf pan.
• In a food processor combine the onion, carrot, celery, pepper and garlic then pulse until roughly pureed.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground veal and pureed vegetables. Gently mix in the breadcrumbs, milk, mustard, ketchup and salt & pepper until thoroughly combined.
• Press the mixture into the parchment lined loaf pan. If using the eggs, gently press the hardboiled eggs down the centre of the loaf, being careful not to break them.
• Place the pan on a rimmed cookie sheet to catch any spills, then bake for 45 minutes.
• Combine all of the glaze ingredients and set aside.
• Remove the loaf from the oven and slather the top with all of the glaze. Return to the oven and bake for another 45 minutes or until done (meat should reach an internal temperature of 160F in the centre).
• Let the meat loaf rest for 10 minutes, then lift out of the pan using the parchment paper. Slice with serrated knife.
