2 eggs, beaten


2lbs lean ground beef OR turkey


1 pkg Stove Top stuffing mix for Turkey or chicken


1 cup water


1/2 cup barbeque sauce (divided in half)





place all ingredients, and HALF of barbeque sauce into a bowl, mix until JUST blended (do not overmix) shape meat into an oval loaf pan, top with remaining barbeque sauce, bake.





I also have made it into patties and used beef or mushroom gravy instead of BBQ sauce.
I remember a presentation trick from a Betty Crocker cookbook for kids that I got as a kid. My son loves it now. Press your meatloaf into a pie pan, and serve it ';a la mode'; with mashed potatoes on top--same way you would put ice creame on a pie.

Chinese Sweet and Sour Meatloaf recipe





Sauce


2/3 cup ketchup


1 1/2 cups granulated sugar


1 cup vinegar


2 tablespoons FINELY minced ginger


4 teaspoons minced garlic


1 teaspoon Dijon mustard*


1 teaspoon regular mustard





*Optional (I used it just to see what happened. Regular mustard to taste would work just as well).





Meat Loaf


1 pound ground beef


3/4 pound ground pork (approximation)


1/3 cup finely chopped green onion


(white and green parts)


3/4 cup bread crumbs


2 eggs


2 tablespoons rice wine or any dry white wine


1 teaspoon minced garlic


2 tablespoons cornstarch


1 1/4 teaspoons salt


1/4 teaspoon black pepper





Mix all sauce ingredients thoroughly. Set aside to allow flavors to marry.





Next, combine all meat loaf ingredients except cornstarch. Take 1 cup of sauce AND mix it into meat. Follow this step with evenly sprinkling cornstarch over meat and thoroughly mixing it in.





Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.





Place meat in loaf pan and pack it down. Bake covered with foil for about 30 minutes. During last 10 minutes of initial 30-minute baking cycle, remove meat loaf from oven, drain fat and slice into several serving-size slices. Pour about 1/2 cup of sauce over meat, making sure some of sauce runs down into cracks. Bake uncovered for about 15 more minutes.





Meanwhile, if you want, you can heat and thicken leftover sauce with about 1 teaspoon cornstarch and an equal amount of water. As sauce starts to thicken, you can add about 2 teaspoons hot oil to sauce.





This recipe makes a lot of sauce, so leftover heated sauce can be spooned over individual meatloaf servings if desired.





NOTE: If you want a browner meatloaf, bake covered for about 20 minutes and uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes. Then drain fat, slice meatloaf and pour sauce over it.

Meatloaf Wellington





Start with your favorite meatloaf recipe, but divide the mixture in half before baking. Use lean ground beef to prevent a lot of fat from spilling in the oven.





Buy a pack of commercial frozen-puff pastry dough. Roll out two sheets of thawed puff pastry dough into large rectangles, about 16 by 20 inches. Spray the pastry with some water if it starts to dry out while you're working with it.





Place a loaf of meat mixture in the center of each sheet of pastry. Fold the short sides over first, followed by the long sides. Seal the seam with a little water. Make a couple of slits in the top to allow steam to escape.





Put a baking rack on a jellyroll sheet pan and place the loaves, seam side down on the rack. Bake at 350 degrees for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the internal temperature is between 160 and 170 degrees. Top with sauce.





Meatloaf Wellington Sauce


1/4 stick butter


1/2 cup flour


2-1/2 cups beef consommé


1 Tbs. tomato paste


1/2 tsp. dried thyme


1/2 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed


dash cloves





Melt butter in a saucepan and whisk in flour until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Cook for about two minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Serve over meatloaf.
Yeah we make italian and/or mexican meatloaves.


SImply add ingredients like you would for meatballs and cover with spaghetti sauce, or for mexican, we use taco seasonings and tortilla crumbs in place of bread crumbs. Cover it with salsa rather than catsup.
I use oatmeal instead of bread crumbs, or crackers, I also use diced squash or zucchini and BBQ sauce for it.
I don't think my meatloaf is too unusual. One thing I like to do differently is instead of adding crushed crackers to keep the loaf together is to use old, crushed up potato chips. Gives the loaf a different little twist. If you do this, make sure you cut back on your seasoning since the potato chips are already salted.

* 1/2 c water


* 2 eggs
