Zucchini Master Mix For Meatballs Burgers Meatloaf Food

ZUCCHINI-OAT MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the meatloaf mix, oats, dill, eggs, garlic, onion, zucchini, 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-by-5 inches. Bake the meatloaf for 30 minutes.
• Stir together the brown sugar, remaining 1/4 cup ketchup and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire in a small bowl for the glaze. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush the top and sides 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.

ZUCCHINI MASTER MIX FOR- MEATBALLS, BURGERS, MEATLOAF !

Steps:

• In a very large bowl (a roast pan will work too), put in onions and zucchini you prepared. Tilt the bowl by placing a folded towel under the end where the veggies are at. Add the eggs to the zucchini liquid. Beat together well. Add the spices and garlic, beat together and stir in the bread crumbs (the bread crumbs will soak up the liquid and be thick) Mix the veggies in well. (Depending on size and thickness of bread slices, you may need to add more bread). This should be about the same thickness as the meats.
• Add the two meats in and knead with your hands to blend all together well. Let this sit for five minutes.
• BURGERS: Form 14 of the size patties you like. Either cook on the outdoor grill or in a skillet. Make them into burgers on a bun the way you like them, or make Salisbury Steaks of them by making a thick gravy to go over them and serve with mashed potatoes and veggies.
• Place patties on metal baking sheet. Freeze.
• When totally frozen, place the patties into zipper bags with wax paper between the patties. Place back into the freezer until ready to use them.
• MEATLOAF: Form into a loaf shape and bake in a 8x8 or 9x9 inch pan (be sure to leave room all the way around the "loaf" for fat drippings). Place in a 350 degree oven and bake for 45 minutes or until done to your liking. Cool and Freeze until needed. Or if serving right away, During the last 15 minutes of baking, drain the oil from the pan and pour either a large can of tomato soup or a large can of spaghetti sauce over the top of the meatloaf and return it to oven to finish baking. Serve with mashed potatoes and corn.
• *** You can make many recipes using this meat mixture. *** Sometimes when I am in a hurry, I just freeze the raw mixture in zipper bags for future use.
