The Creeks Meatloaf Food

THE CREEK'S MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix ground sirloin, bacon, onion, bell pepper, oats, Cheddar cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and Cajun seasoning salt in a large bowl; shape into a loaf.
• Line 1 1/2-quart loaf pan with bread slices. Put loaf atop the bread.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Stir tomato sauce and brown sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat; simmer until the sugar dissolves. Add Cheddar cheese in small batches, stirring to melt each batch before adding the next. Stir onion and parsley into the sauce and continue cooking until hot, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over the meatloaf.

CLASSIC MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place bread in food processor; pulse until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in milk. Set aside, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine beef, pork, onion, garlic, egg, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add bread-milk mixture, and mix very gently with a fork (do not overmix).
• Place meat mixture on prepared baking sheet, and form into a loaf about 9 inches long and 4 to 5 inches wide.
• Bake, brushing twice with remaining 1/4 cup ketchup during baking, until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees, 45 to 55 minutes. Let meatloaf rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

CRIPPLE CREEK MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients gently, but well and form into a loaf in a baking pan.
• Do not overmix, as this tends to make for a tough (too firm) meatloaf.
• Mix topping ingredients together and coat top of meatloaf.
• Bake for 1 ½ hours at 350°F
• Cover for first 45 minutes.

MILE-HIGH MEAT LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350 degrees F.
• Line 3 (9-by 5-inch) loaf pans with wax paper and set aside.
• Make bread crumbs by placing the bread in the work bowl of a food processor and processing until finely ground. Transfer crumbs to a large bowl. Add all ingredients, except ketchup, to the bowl; mix until just combined. Divide and shape the meat mixture into loaves in the prepared pans. Spread a layer of ketchup over the top to cover the meat loaf. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until completely cooked through. Remove from heat and let meatloaf cool for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

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.

MAW-MAW'S MEATLOAF WITH SECRET SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Roll out corn flakes into crumbs. If using rolled oats, then just leave as they are.
• In a medium mixing bowl, add corn flakes, milk, onion, eggs, beef, salt, and pepper and mix together.
• Shape into a loaf and put into a microwave-safe baking dish.
• Add ketchup and tomato juice around meat.
• Put meatloaf in microwave for 15 minutes, then transfer to oven for 20-30 minutes.
• Sauce to go over when served: Mix ketchup and barbecue sauce in equal amounts and pour over twice as much brown sugar. Stir until well mixed.
• I pour half over the meatloaf and set aside the rest for my family to add more themselves.

MUSHROOM SWISS MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 1.
• In a fry pan, begin to sauté the mushrooms in the butter, over med high heat. Add salt to help draw out the water from the mushrooms. The goal here is to remove as much liquid from the mushrooms as possible. Half the way through sautéing the mushrooms, add the onions.
• Add the garlic. Careful not to add the garlic at the beginning as it may burn and become bitter.
• When the mushrooms have wilted and reduced, remove from the pan and allow to cool.
• Prepare the gravy mix according to the package directions and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the hamburger, eggs, and panko. Mix REALLY well.
• Add the ½ of the cooled mushroom and onion mix.
• Pack the meatloaf mix into an 8x8 cake pan lined with parchment paper. (or choose any other baking dish you prefer. You can use a loaf pan, but keep in mind to adjust the cooking time as it will be considerably thicker and take longer to roast.) Pack the mixture in, and then turn it out onto a parchment lined baking sheet to hold its shape.
• Bake the meatloaf for approximately 1 hour. Be sure to check the temperature with a thermometer, as the cooking time may need to be adjusted according to the thickness of the loaf. Always be safe and cook the loaf to an internal temperature of 160F.
• 15 minutes before the cooking time is complete, take the remaining mushroom and onion mixture and mix it with 2 - 3 tablespoons of the gravy mixture. The consistency should be thick, spreadable, but not runny.
• Spread this mixture over the top of the meatloaf evenly and then top that with the 4 - 5 slices of Swiss cheese. Overlap them to make them fit over the top of the loaf if you need to.
• Continue roasting the meatloaf until the cheese has melted.
• Remove from the oven and let rest 5 minutes. Slice to serve and use the remaining prepared gravy to top the meatloaf.
