Kicked-Up Meatloaf


2 tablespoons butter


1 large onion, chopped


1 rib celery, finely chopped


1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped


2 teaspoons minced garlic, plus 1 teaspoon


1 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves


1 teaspoon chopped rosemary


1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley


2 eggs


1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard


1/2 cup ketchup, plus 1/4 cup


2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce


1/2 cup Heavy cream


2/3 cup Breadcrumbs


1 pound ground chuck


1/2 pound pork sausage (such as breakfast sausage)


1/2 pound ground veal


1 1/2 teaspoons salt


2 teaspoons plus 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


4 slices bacon, cut in half


2 tablespoons white or red wine vinegar


1/2 cup canned tomatoes, chopped or crushed





In a large skillet heat the butter over medium-high heat until melted. Add all but 1/4 cup of the onions, the celery and all but 2 tablespoons of the bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and beginning to caramelize around the edges, about 6 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of the garlic, the thyme, rosemary, and parsley and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.


When the vegetable mixture is cooled, transfer to a mixing bowl and add the eggs, mustard, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, 1 teaspoon of the Worcestershire sauce, and heavy cream and mix until thoroughly combined. Add the breadcrumbs, ground chuck, pork sausage, ground veal, 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. Transfer meat mixture to a 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan and using your hands, form mixture into a loaf shape. Arrange the slices of bacon on the top of the meatloaf and set aside.


In a small saucepan combine the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped onion, remaining 2 tablespoons of green pepper, remaining teaspoon of garlic, remaining 1/2 cup of ketchup, remaining 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, remaining 2 teaspoons of pepper, vinegar, and canned tomatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.


Pour the sauce over the uncooked meatloaf and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the bacon and sauce are slightly caramelized on the top of the meatloaf. Remove from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Here's a Vegetarian Fake meatloaf recipe (you meat eaters can use real beef but I'm a vegetarian by choice!) Recipe: Oatmeal, Bran,


Can pumpkin, Light Soya Sauce and a wee bit water if needed! Optional diced onions sprinkled with tabasco sauce or tacho seasoning!


Take the can of pumpkin 14 oz size is sufficient


put in bowl mix other ingredients in bowl putting soya sauce in last. Mixture should form balls if it gets too hard to mix add a wee bit water or a little light soya sauce! For meat loaf


you don't need to form balls just pat down in a meat loaf pan and sprinkle top with tacho seasoning and cook till lightly golden colour.


(to fool meat eaters sprinkle a little vanilla on it


while it's almost cooked! )

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 T 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 cup freshly chopped Italian parsley or 1 cup fresh spinach and 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!
