Best Darn Meat Brick Meatloaf In Texas Recipes

THE BEST MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl until completely combined. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and lightly golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add 3 tablespoons of the ketchup and cook until most of the moisture has evaporated and the mixture is thick and brick red colored, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the onions cool slightly. Then add them to the beaten eggs and mix to combine.
• Add the beef to the egg and onion mixture. Break up the meat with a fork or wooden spoon, and then mix to thoroughly combine; you don't want to see any lumps of raw beef. Add the panko and mix to combine. Stir the meat vigorously with a wooden spoon for about 7 seconds; it will become more homogenous and tackier.
• Transfer the meat to the prepared baking sheet and shape into a 9-by-5-inch loaf. Smooth the top and evenly spread the remaining ketchup over top. Bake for 5 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 150 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

BEST DARN MEAT-BRICK / MEATLOAF IN TEXAS!

Steps:

• I NEVER make a 2 pound meat-brick. I am giving the majority of these directions as if I was though. You will have to adjust some of them to the amount you are making.
• In the coffee mug of sugar, pour in enough BBQ sauce to make a glaze. You can mix it together in a separate bowl. This will be used at the end of the cooking.
• In a very large bowl, combine everything but the BBQ sauce, eggs,and sugar.
• Next measure in the 1/4 cup of sugar (you may need to add a little more if you are using more than 2 pounds of beef), 1 eggs per pound of ground beef, and 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce per 2 pounds of beef. Mix. To know when you have this at the right consistancy, shape the mixture into a ball in the bowl. If you can.
• pick it up, but it oozes over your hands, it is right. If it stays in a ball and seems "stiff", you need to add another egg first and then more BBQ sauce. You want to add the egg first as it will help the brick to hold together. You may also add more spices as needed here.
• When the meat-brick is to your consistancy (and it is VERY important that it be kinda "runny") put it in a baking dish (NOT a bread loaf pan) large enough to streach it out. If you are making a very large one, you may need to use 2 pans. Place the "blob" in the pan. Streach it out like a "loaf". Be careful not to make it too narrow, or too wide. If it is too narrow, it will dry out, if it is too wide, it be medium-rare in the middle. I don't mind it medium-rare, but my family won't eat it that way.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Check on it once in a while, and make sure that it isn't drying out. When the hour is up, take your glaze, and pour it over the meat-brick. Cook an additional 5 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly.
• I normally serve this with mashed potatoes and green beans.
• If you hate meatloaf, I can almost bet you will love this!
