does anyone have a good meatloaf recipe?

Answer 1

Doris Roberts from Everybody loves Raymond Stuffed Meat Loaf
2 pounds ground beef
2 eggs
1 medium onion, chopped
A couple of pinches of parsley
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Salt and pepper
8 ounces ricotta cheese
A couple of pinches of dried basil
1 (28-ounce) can of whole peeled tomatoes with basil, Italian Bread crumbs
1. Mix first 6 ingredients, salt and pepper to taste, and mold in standard-size loaf pan.
2. Scoop out the center of the loaf.
3. In a separate bowl, mix cheese and basil, salt and pepper to taste, and fill in the hole with this mixture.
4. Replace scooped-out meat to make a hat covering the cheese mixture.
5. Top with tomatoes. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
6. Sprinkle bread crumbs over the top and bake another 15 minutes. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Note: This meatloaf is very delicious and not your typical meatloaf. I use Winn Dixie brand whole plum tomatoes with basil. When I add the tomatoes , I crushed them. After the meatloaf is done, I drain the grease from the meatloaf and make a tomato gravy using the tomato juices, little cornstarch and water. Very Very good.

Clare's meatloaf- Maui Island Cookbook
1/2 c. Grape-Nuts cereal
1 pound hamburger
1/4 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. water
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 tsp. salt
Italian Seasoning to taste
Mix Grape Nuts and water; let stand for 2-3 minutes. Combine rest of ingredients; mix well. In a greased pan, shape into loaf. Bake one hour at 350'. To get moist loaf, cover with aluminum foil for first 30 minutes and then remove. NOTE: This meatloaf is good and VERY moist. I let it bake for 50 minutes.

Answer 2

I can guarantee this is the best meatloaf ever and the sandwhiches the next day are to die for! Now I don't cook with measurements, so do the best you can.

Ground chuck or good hamburger
ground pork (1/2 the amount of the hamburger)
plain bread crumbs (about a cup)
milk (about 3/4 cup)
egg
fresh ground salt & pepper
mustard
worchester sauce
ketchup, a big blob in with the meat (this is used in the meatloaf & on top)
garlic (only fresh)
carrots
celery
onion
olive oil or butter/margarine

preheat oven to 350.

Ok, toss everything but the vegies and olive oil in a big bowl and mix. Then cut vegies into small cubes and saute until nice and tender. Add the vegies to the mixture and blend. Put foil on a cookie sheet, put blob of meat on cookie sheet and shape into a nice oblong shape, plop ketchup on top and with your hand rub the ketchup over the meat to completey cover it, and bake until done. I don't know how long, I just check it after 1/2 hour. I cook for 12 of us, so I think ours bakes for about an hour.

I have another really good recipe but don't have it here just now. If you want it, email me because I won't be able to send it to you thru this forum as I've already answered.

I guarantee, you will love the recipe I've given you.

Bon Apetite!

Roasted Vegetable Meat Loaf with Balsamic Glaze

Ingredients:
3 TBs olive oil, 1 lg zucchini finely diced, 1 red bell pepper finely diced, 1 yellow pepper finely diced, 1 yellow onion finely diced, salt and freshly ground black pepper, 5 cloves garlic finely chopped, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, 2 lg eggs lightly beaten, 1 TB finely chopped fresh thyme leaves, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves, 1/2 lb ground pork, 1/2 lb ground veal, 1 lb ground beef chuck, 1 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs, 1/2 cup freshly grated Romano, 1 1/2 cups ketchup divided, 1 cup plus 2 Tbs balsamic vinegar

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the zucchini, peppers, onion, and salt and pepper to taste, and cook until almost soft 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and 1/4 tsp of the red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds. Set aside to cool. Whisk together the eggs and herbs in a large bowl. Add the meat, bread crumbs, cheese, 1/2 cup of the ketchup, 2 TBs of the basalmic vinegar, the vegetables, and mix until just combined. Mold the meatloaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Whisk together the remaining ketchup and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl then brush the mixture over the entire loaf. Bake the meatloaf for approximately 1 - 1 1/4 hours. Remove from the oven and let rest 10 min before slicing. Makes 6 servings.

Chef Notes: We chose to chop our vegetables a little larger than fine dice. And it mixed easier when using your hands, but you run the risk of over kneading. The balsamic vinegar dressing was not brushed on but instead, we drizzled it over the top and spread it out with the back of a spoon. Either way works well. If you leave it in the oven for a longer time (the glaze gets a blackened look), it gets a nice crunchy flavor that you may wish to keep, or discard.

A variation was made when only 2/3 of the chopped vegetables were incorporated into the meatloaf in the large mixing bowl. If you save the remaining 1/3, it can be placed onto the parchment paper surface first, and the meatloaf mixture placed on top. Then, of course, you apply the glaze, then place into the oven. You serve the meatloaf as a tiered dish with the vegetables on the bottom.

Answer 5

My mom (and I) make a great meatloaf. Some ingredients are approximate (but close!) because it's kind of just thrown together!!! Also, it makes a full size one and a small one or 2 med. ones.

Meat Loaf...

1 md. onion, coarsely chopped
1/2 red sweet pepper, chopped
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
6-8 drops "Tabasco" sauce
1/2 tsp. Lea & Perrins worstershire sauce
3/4 to 1 tsp. salt (to taste!)
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. dry mustard
2 handfuls seasoned dry stuffing cubes
1 3/4 lbs. ground beef
1 can, Campbell's mushroom soup

Mix first ingredients, including the stuffing cubes. Add beef and soup. Put into ungreased meatloaf pan(s) and cook til done. Optional: I like to get cleaned, whole mushrooms and stick them into meatloaf after 1/2 is in pan, then cover with rest of mixture... Cook average sized meatloafs 1 to 1-1/4 hr.(adjust time if making any smaller ones!) at 350, let sit about 15 minutes or so after out of oven.
**Great cold too with mayo! Mushrooms make it fall apart a little easier, but I love mushrooms!!!
