Meatloaf Recipes

The Perfect Meatloaf

	

Brown Sugar Ketchup Glaze

1/2 cup ketchup
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 teaspoons vinegar (any type)

Meat Loaf

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 cup milk
1 lb ground chuck
1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 lb ground veal
2/3 cup crushed saltine crackers, about 16
1/3 cup minced parsley

For the glaze, mix all ingredients in small pan, set aside. For the meatloaf, 
heat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in medium skillet. Add onion and garlic; 
sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool. Mix eggs with salt, 
pepper, thyme, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and milk. Add to meat in large 
bowl along with crackers, parsley and cooked onion and garlic. Mix with fork 
until evenly blended and mixture doesn’t stick to the bowl. If it sticks add 
milk. With wet hands, pat mixture into 9x5-inch loaf shape. Place in foil lined 
baking pan for easy clean up. Brush with half the glaze. Bake until crisp, 
about 1 hour. Cool at least 20 minutes and serve with the remaining glaze.

Mexican Meatloaf Recipe

Ingredients

1-1/2 lbs. ground round (or ground beef) 1 med. onion diced 
3/4 c. breadcrumbs 1 tsp. granulated garlic 
2 tsp. Lawry's Seasoned Salt 2 eggs slightly beaten 
1-8 oz. can tomato sauce 1 can Rotel "Extra Hot" diced tomatoes 
w/chili's, drained. 

Preparation

Mix all ingredients except for 1/2 of the tomato sauce and form into 
a loaf pan. Top with the remaining tomato sauce. Bake at 350 for 45 
minutes or until done. I also use 1 small drained can of mushrooms in
the loaf because my husband likes them in about everything but they 
are not necessary. As soon as I remove the loaf from the oven, I 
drain off any excess grease from the loaf pan to keep it from 
reabsorbing into the loaf.
