ITALIAN MEATLOAF WITH GARLIC HERB GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Combine the meatloaf mix, breadcrumbs, mozzarella, sundried tomatoes, Parmesan, parsley, basil, oregano, Worcestershire, eggs, onion, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, half of the garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Use your hands and mix together until combined well.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and form it into a compact oval-shaped loaf, about 9-by-5-inches. Bake the meatloaf for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together the vinegar, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, the remaining 1/4 cup ketchup and garlic in a small bowl. Brush the top and sides of the meatloaf all over with the garlic-herb glaze. Continue to bake until the glaze starts to caramelize and a thermometer inserted in the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

AWESOME AND SIMPLE ITALIAN GARLICKY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a large loaf pan.
• Mix 1/2 cup bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper, reserving the remaining bread crumbs to use as necessary.
• Add the meat and use a fork to mix the ingredients uniformly.
• Add the eggs and knead it with your hands until a "dough" ball forms, it should hold its shape and not be too dry and crumbly (add some water) or too sticky sloppy (add more bread crumbs).
• Mold the meat mixture into the loaf pan and top with a layer of ketchup as desired.
• Bake for 70 minutes. Slices best when cooled and tastes even better reheated as leftovers!
• For OAMC: Slice cooled loaf and flash freeze slices on a cookie sheet. Once frozen, store in a freezer bag or container. To reheat: remove as many slices as necessary and reheat in microwave.

MEATLOAF AL ITALIANO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, and onion; cook and stir until just soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Set mixture aside and let cool.
• Meanwhile, mix bread crumbs, parsley, egg, and Italian seasoning together in a large bowl. Add cooled veggie mixture; mix well. Gently mix in ground pork and ground beef. Place mixture into the prepared loaf pan and form into a loaf shape.
• Mix tomato sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and vinegar together in a bowl. Set glaze aside.
• Bake meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush glaze over loaf. Return to the oven and continue to bake, brushing with glaze every 10 to 15 minutes, until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from the oven and drain excess oil.

MY MOTHER'S ITALIAN-AMERICAN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• 2. Put the beef, veal, and pork into a bowl and kneed them together.
• 3. Pour the milk into a bowl and soak the bread in it, squeezing it into a paste. Add the soaked bread to the bowl with the meat and work them together as though you were kneading dough. Add the cheese, garlic, onion, eggs, oregano, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and knead again until well incorporated.
• 4. Oil a large roasting pan with the olive oil. Form the meat mixture into a large loaf in the center of a roasting pan.
• 5. Stir in the plum tomatoes, tomato paste, and 1 cup water together in a bowl and pour the mixture evenly over the meatloaf. Scatter the carrots and celery in the pan around the loaf.
• 6. Put the pan in the oven and bake until a skewer inserted in the center of the loaf comes out warm, about 1 1/2 hours. If the loaf begins to look dry while cooking, tent it with aluminum foil. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool slightly.
• 7. Slice the meatloaf into servings, put 1 serving on each plate and spoon pan gravy and vegetables over and around the meatloaf.
• Your Nightly Specials
• You can make the loaf with beef and veal only, or with just beef.
• Lay some raw bacon strips over the loaf before baking. (This was one way my mother made her meatloaf extra special.)
• Add some sautéed mushrooms to the pan during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
