BEST MEATLOAF





BASIC MIX:





1 1/2 pounds ground beef


1 c. fresh Italian style bread crumbs


1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped


3-4 cloves garlic, finely minced


1 large onion, finely chopped


1 large green bell pepper, chopped


1 egg


1 1/2 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon garlic powder


1/2 teaspoon onion powder


1/4 teaspoon pepper


1 8 oz can tomato sauce


1 cup ketchup


1/2 cup water or beef stock (can use bouillon)


3 tbsp. Balsamic vinegar


3 tbsp. brown sugar


2 tbsp. Dijon mustard


2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce


1/4 c. Parmesan, grated (optional)





In a small bowl, combine tomato sauce, ketchup, Balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and water/beef stock.


In a large bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, onions, green bell pepper, parsley, chopped garlic, egg, seasonings, 3/4 cup of tomato mixture, and optionally, Parmesan cheese.





Form into loaf. Place into shallow 7 by 10 in. pan or bread loaf tin, lightly oiled. Pour remaining liquid over meat loaf to coat. Bake in a 350 degrees Fahrenheit oven for one hour and 15 minutes, basting occasionally with ketchup or your favorite barbecue sauce.








Optional Variations:





Choose one:


1. Eliminate salt, bouillon, and substitute 3 tablespoon onion soup mix. Sprinkle top with tomato soup and crushed crackers instead.





2. Use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of bread crumbs.





3. If you have leftover bread, especially Italian or French bread, substitute milk for the water listed in recipe, and soak about 2 cups bread in the milk prior to mixing into the meat mixture. Squeeze out the excess slightly before adding. Substitute this bread for the bread crumbs. After mixing everything together, you can also form this meat mixture into meatballs and fry in 1/2 inch olive oil in a heavy bottom skillet (such as cast iron). If making Italian meatballs, leave out the brown sugar and Dijon mustard, but be sure to use the Parmesan cheese. Season the oil in the pan with 2-3 whole cloves garlic (don't chop it up or it will burn instead of just roasting).





4. If you're in a hurry, you may use as a substitute 2 cups of barbecue sauce and eliminate the following ingredients:








1 c. ketchup


1 8 oz can tomato sauce


3 tbsp. balsamic vinegar


3 tbsp. of brown sugar


2 tbsp. Dijon mustard


2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce








5. Eliminate the saut茅 crumbs. Saut茅 this mixture with onion and garlic for 5 minutes and layer a casserole with no-cook lasagna noodles. Place meat mixture to cover noodles. Add a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and:





1/3 pound ricotta mixed with one egg


1/4 c. freshly chopped Italian parsley or 1 c. fresh spinach


1/2 pound grated mozzarella cheese








Cover with another layer of noodles, and top with 1 large can of tomato sauce mixed with 1/2 teaspoon each basil and oregano. Place in 325 degree oven 60 minutes or until bubbly, basting occasionally with sauce to prevent lasagna from drying out.


6. Form meat mixture into large doughnut shapes, approximately 6-7 inches across. When forming the doughnut, don't allow the center to actually become a doughnut hole; just thin it out, leaving a well in the center. Optionally, brush with ketchup. Crush 8-10 Saltine or Ritz crackers into crumbs and sprinkle over the doughnut shaped burger, concentrating the excess crumbs into the center. Sprinkle with onion and garlic powder and a liberal dose of soy sauce, allowing a 1/2 spoon or so to form in the well. This can optionally be topped with cheese and canned mushrooms if desired. Place in microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes or so, according to size, until the juices run clear and meat doughnut is done. Served with meat drippings as topping, there is no need for a bun. This is a fast and easy low-carb lunch!





7. Place 3-4 strips of bacon lengthwise along the top of the meatloaf. Garnish with rings of green or red bell pepper and bake as usual. 8. Use your imagination, get creative, and enjoy!Anybody have any good meatloaf recipes?

Dad's Meatloaf with Tomato Relish


Ingredients:





Tomato Relish:


Extra-virgin olive oil


1 onion, finely diced


2 garlic cloves, minced


2 bay leaves


2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and finely diced


2 tomatoes, halved, seeded, and finely diced


1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley


1 (12-ounce) bottle ketchup


1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce


Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper








Meatloaf:


3 slices white bread, crusts removed, torn into chunks by hand


1/4 cup whole milk


1 1/2 pounds ground beef


1 pound ground pork


2 eggs


Leaves from 2 fresh thyme sprigs


Salt and freshly ground black pepper


3 to 4 bacon slices





recipe preparation instructions Recipe:





Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.








Coat a skillet (heavy saucepan) with a 2-count of oil and place over medium heat. Saute the onion, garlic, and bay leaves for a few minutes to create a base flavor. Throw in the red peppers and cook them for a couple of minutes to soften. Now add the tomeatos ; adding them at this point lets them hold their shape and prevents them from disintegrating. Stir in the parsley, ketchup, and Worcestershire; season with salt and pepper. Simmer the relish for 5 minutes to pull all the flavors together. Remove it from the heat; you (or they) should have about 4 cups of relish.








Place the torn white bread in a bowl and add the milk to just barely cover, swish the bread around in the milk and let it sit while you get the rest of the ingredients for the meat loaf together.








This is where you get your hands dirty! In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork with 1 1/2 cups of the tomato relish, the eggs, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the excess milk from the bread and add the soaked bread to the meat mixture. To test, fry a small ';hamburger'; patty of the meatloaf until cooked; the patty should hold together but still have a soft consistency. Taste the patty for seasoning.








Lightly oil a cookie sheet. Transfer the meat mixture to the center of the cookie sheet and form into a log about 9 inches long and about 4 inches wide. Coat the top of the meatloaf with another 1/2 cup of the tomato relish. Lay the bacon across the top lengthwise.








Bake the meatloaf for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the bacon is crisp and the meatloaf is firm. Rotate the meat loaf while it's baking every now and then to insure that the bacon browns evenly. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it cool a bit before slicing. Serve with the remaining tomato relish on the side. Unbelievably moist
