The I Dont Like Meatloaf Meatloaf Food

MEATLOAF FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• For the glaze:.
• Combine ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, balsamic vinegar and hot sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until just starting to bubble. Reduce heat to low and simmer slowly until meatloaf is ready to go into the oven.
• For the meatloaf:.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by covering with foil and then placing a cooling rack inside, also covered with foil and poking several holes for grease drainage.
• Heat the butter or oil in a medium skillet. Add the onion and saute until soft and slightly brown. Add garlic and continue to cook until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Set aside to cool.
• Beat the eggs, thyme, salt, pepper, cayenne, mustard, worcestershire, liquid heat, yogurt or milk in a large bowl. Add the cooled onion mixture. Add the crackers and the beef and pork and combine well with a fork or your hands. Be certain that there are no unmixed pockets of meat or cracker mixture.
• With wet hands, turn the mixture onto the prepared pan and pat into a squared loaf shape. Remove the glaze from the heat and brush a generous amount over the loaf. Arrange the bacon slices crosswise, overlapping slightly and tucking the ends under with a spatula.
• Bake until the bacon is crisp and the loaf temperature is 160 degrees, about an hour and 15 minutes. Cool at least 20 minutes. Serve with the remaining glaze on the side.

THE "I DON'T LIKE MEATLOAF" MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl- mix together well (using hands, as gross as it may be).
• Mold mixture into a"loaf", place into 8x11 baking dish (I try to make sure the meatloaf doesn't touch the sides, it makes for easier cleanup).
• Spread more ketchup on the top of the meatloaf.
• Bake at 350 for 50 minutes to an hour.
• My favorite sides to go with this are mashed potatoes and green beans.
• You can be creative with this recipe- use spicy sausage if you like spicy; sage if you like that taste, etc You can also add chopped onions, green peppers, or salsa- I don't, but only because my kids won't eat it.
• (Bonus: if your kids are veggie haters like mine- they never even notice the mushrooms).

CHEF JOHN'S MEATBALL-INSPIRED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion with a pinch of salt in hot oil and butter until onion is golden brown and soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove skillet from heat and cool onion mixture to room temperature.
• Place bread crumbs in a large bowl. Add milk and stir with a fork until combined. Let sit until all of the milk is absorbed into the breadcrumbs, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Combine ground chuck, cooled onion mixture, parsley, Parmesan cheese, eggs, 2 teaspoons salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Grab a handful of breadcrumbs and squeeze very gently to remove excess milk. Repeat with remaining breadcrumbs, transfer breadcrumbs to ground chuck mixture, and discard excess milk. Stir ground chuck mixture until evenly combined.
• Turn chuck mixture out into prepared baking dish, and shape meat into a 3x4x10-inch meatloaf. Pour tomato sauce over the loaf and into the bottom of the dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
