Meatloaf recipes?

Do you have any good meatloaf recipes? I know how to make it but I just want to try it a different way tonight. Any suggestions?Meatloaf recipes?
The one that I fell in love with and highly reccommend is the recipe by Tyler Florence from the Food Network... If you like red peppers (flavor) then you will love this!!!


I will go get the recipe:





Dad's Meatloaf with Tomato Relish Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence





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








Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.


Coat a skillet 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 tomatoes; 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 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!











I hope you try this and enjoy!!!!Meatloaf recipes?
You can use ground beef, turkey or chicken with this recipe. It turns out very well. I generally end up using more ketchup. The family loves this recipe.





Ingredients:


Vegetable oil spray


4 slices whole-wheat bread


1/4 cup skim milk


2 pounds ground turkey


1cup grated onion


1/2 cup diced celery


1/4 cup minced fresh parsley


Egg substitute equivalent to 2 eggs


1 cup canned no-salt-added stewed tomatoes, crushed


1 teaspoon finely minced and seeded fresh jalape帽o pepper, or to taste


2 tablespoons ketchup





Directions:


Preheat oven to 350o F. Lightly spray a 91/2-x-51/2-x-3 inch loaf pan with vegetable oil or use a nonstick pan.





Place bread in a blender or the work bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process into fine crumbs.





In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs and milk. Let bread soak 5 minutes.





In a large bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except ketchup. Mix lightly. Set aside.


Drain bread and squeeze out excess milk to form a paste. Add to meat mixture and blend well.


Pack lightly into the prepared loaf pan. Spread ketchup over top of loaf.





Bake uncovered 11/4 hours. Let sit out 5 minutes before serving.
Meatloaf is one of my favorite recipes - served with mashed potatoes and whole green beans or steamed baby carrots.





Meatloaf


3 pounds ground beef


3 large eggs


1/2 to 3/4 cup Italian style bread crumbs


1 packet Lipton's Onion or Beefy Onion Soup Mix


1 can sliced mushrooms - drained


1/2 cup sliced black olives


2 tablespoons BBQ sauce


1 tablespoon A-1 sauce


1/2 cup salsa


1/2 cup shredded cheese - I use a combination of Cheddar, Italian Blend and Pepper-Jack cheeses or whatever I have on hand





Mix all ingredients, form into a loaf in a loaf pan, bake at 350 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours.





SAC
Mama's Italian Meatloaf





2lb. ground beef


1lb. ground pork


mix them together with a chopped onion and a few cloves of minced garlic, about a cup of bread crumbs, a sprinkle of oregano and basil and add a half a jar of you favourite spaghetti sauce. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or so then pour the rest of the spaghetti sauce over the meatloaf and sprinkle the top with mozzarella cheese and bake until it is cooked though ( you can tell because it has a firm feel and is no longer pink in the center.)





This is great with pasta or garlic mashed potatos!
I make a more ';non-traditional'; meatloaf. It's delicious!





2 lbs ground beef


1 onion, chopped


1 green pepper, chopped


1 Tbsp Dijon mustard


1 Tbsp Worcestershire


3 Tbsp ketchup


5 Tbsp Steak sauce (A-1 sauce)


1 egg


Salt and pepper








Mix all ingredients. Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray. Take mixture and form into a ';loaf'; shape in the center of the pan. Bake at 350 for about an hour and fifteen minutes.





This loaf doesn't slice like your average meat loaf, but that's why I like it!
This is how I make my meatloaf, you wouldnt believe how simple it is and what few ingredients you will need!!





2 pounds hamburger meat


1 box stove top stuffing (any kind but cornbread)


ketchup





Mix in large bowl the hamburger and stove top. Form into loaf. bake at 350* for about an hour (til its almost done)


Top with ketchup and bake another 15 minutes.





i guess if you like the chopped veggies you could add that to the mix, my hubby doesnt so i dont make it like that; for him!)
once I added a little Italian seasoning %26amp; fresh garlic to my normal recipe. Then used organic rolled oats instead of bread crumbs...I sometimes add NO grain products.





THEN...I placed fresh broccoli pieces (seasoned) between two layers of the meat. It was SOOOOO YUMMMMY!!!!





Even the kids ate it!!!
