Answer 1

MARK’S MEATLOAF

1 ¾ lbs. 90% lean ground beef
2 eggs
2 oz. olive oil plus extra for cooking
6 oz. beef stock plus extra for drizzling
½ cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
½ cup plain bread crumbs
A hefty handful of chopped fresh parsley
Generous sprinkling of kosher salt and black pepper

Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and place on an oiled sheet pan. Form a uniform rectangle 1 ½ - 1 ¾ inches in height. Place into a 350 degree oven. I remove it when the internal temperature has reached 140 degrees which is medium. Heat the remaining beef stock to a simmer and drizzle over slices of the meatloaf.

Answer 2

My kids beg me to make this meatloaf & any leftovers are gone the next day! If I'm out of crackers, I just use breadcrumbs, crushed chips, oatmeal - whatever I happen to have on hand. 2 1/3 cups coarsely crushed soda crackers (1 1/2 tubes from package) 2 pounds lean ground beef 1/2 pound ground sausage 1 large egg 2 medium onions, chopped 1 medium green bell pepper, minced 3/4 cup ketchup plus 1/4 cup for the top 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Preheat the oven to 325 F. In a heavy-duty, plastic food-storage bag, place the crackers, seal, and roll over with a rolling pin until crushed but not powdery. In a large bowl, with clean hands, mix together all the ingredients except the 1/4-cup ketchup for the top. Mix thoroughly but lightly, being careful not to pack the meat too much. Place in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan and shape into a loaf. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil. Spread the top of the loaf with the 1/4-cup ketchup. Bake, uncovered, another 60 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Makes 10 Servings.

Answer 3

I like to make my meatloaf with a combination of ground beef and ground (unflavored) pork. Instead of most of the recipes, I use Quaker Oats as my binder...I leave out the egg. So anyway, I put my 1 1/2 to 2 lbs ground meat mixture in a bowl and add about 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/3 cup chopped green pepper. Add 3/4 tsp. salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Add 3/4 cup quick oats and 4 to 6 ounces tomato sauce. Gently mix all of that together. Place into a 9 x 5 loaf dish. Pour balance of tomato sauce on the top and put a bay leaf on the center top. Bake at 350 F for about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Pour off the fat into an empty container. Let sit for 5 minutes. Enjoy with potatoes, etc. Sometimes I make a separate brown gravy, but not with using the fat that comes off of the meatloaf...I'd use a jarred or packaged gravy instead of that pure fat - even though I make Yorkshire Pudding out of "good" beef fat!

Enjoy your meatloaf. I'll have to make another one again soon!

Answer 4

BBQ Meatloaf
2 pounds lean ground beef
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 eggs
1/2 cup of crunched up Ritz Crackers
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon of parsley
1/4 teaspoon of oregano
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
3 slices of slab bacon.
a few dashes of a good hot pepper sauce
A good squirt of the BBQ sauce.

Mix all together (except bacon) in a bowl and don't be afraid to use your hands.

Make your loaf on a cookie sheet.. not in a baking dish. You can make a foil boat to avoid run off.
At least 1 1/2 - 2" high.
Layer the strips of bacon over the top of the loaf.
Cook in a 425 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.

Let rest and remove bacon. The meatloaf is not fully cooked yet.

thin Sweet Baby Rays Hot & Spicy BBQ Sauce with some good beer in a sauce pan. It should be runny.

Cut the loaf in 1 1/2" slices and immerse in the sauce, completely coating each piece.
Grill over medium high heat, getting good grill marks.
Baste and flip. 3-5 minutes per side.

We've made this three times and have yet to refrigerate leftovers.

hopefully this meat loaf recipe helps I usually serve it with these side dishes:

Lemon Zested Peas and Carrots
Cook carrots and peas, toss with a bit of butter and grated lemon zest (the yellow part of a lemon rind).

Mashed Potatoes
Plain mashed potatoes are sometimes just the right thing -- they're perfect with meat loaf.

I just make a regular meat loaf but add some salsa and cumin and taco seasoning and turn it into a mexican tasting meat loaf.

Answer 10

eggs, oatmeal (old fashioned) salsa...mild preferrably, you only want this for flavor. Sharp cheddar cheese. Top with sour cream when done. Sorry, I don't ever measure so you'll have to wingit.
