Brown Bottom Meatloaf Recipes

BEST EVER MEATLOAF WITH BROWN GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, chili sauce, egg, salt, and freshly ground black pepper; mix well. Shape into an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
• Place loaf pan on a rack in an oven-roasting pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until done. Cook until internal temperature measures 160 degrees F (70 degrees C); the meat should be well done, with no trace of pink. Remove from oven, and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• While the meatloaf is resting, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onions; cook and stir until tender. Add beef broth; simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Combine water and cornstarch in a small cup; stir into broth. Cook and stir for 1 minute, or until thickened.

BROWN BOTTOM MEATLOAF

Steps:

• In a medium size sauté pan, melt butter and add onions, green onions, carrot, bell pepper, celery and garlic. Cook until vegetables are soft. Remove from heat and cool. Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a large bowl, beat together eggs, catsup, half and half, the 3/4 tsp cumin, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and nutmeg. Add beef, pork sausage, and bread crumbs. Knead together by hand till smooth. Add cooled vegetable mixture and blend thoroughly.
• You can pack the mixture into a standard loaf pan, but the preference is to form the meat into a flatter loaf shape and place in an oven-proof shallow baking dish for maximum browned surface in baking. Use a dish that is at least 1" larger around than the meatloaf. That way you can easily lift the loaf out of the drippings to serve.
• Bake for 50 to 55 minutes. When the loaf(s) is done, remove from oven pan and the grease. Freezes well, baked or unbaked.

GOOD EATS MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a food processor bowl, combine croutons, black pepper, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and thyme. Pulse until the mixture is of a fine texture. Place this mixture into a large bowl. Combine the onion, carrot, garlic, and red pepper in the food processor bowl. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped, but not pureed. Combine the vegetable mixture, ground sirloin, and ground chuck with the bread crumb mixture. Season the meat mixture with the kosher salt. Add the egg and combine thoroughly, but avoid squeezing the meat.
• Pack this mixture into a 10-inch loaf pan to mold the shape of the meatloaf. Onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, turn the meatloaf out of the pan onto the center of the tray. Insert a temperature probe at a 45 degree angle into the top of the meatloaf. Avoid touching the bottom of the tray with the probe. Set the probe for 155 degrees.
• Combine the catsup, cumin, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce and honey. Brush the glaze onto the meatloaf after it has been cooking for about 10 minutes.
