UNITED STATES OF MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• For the meatloaf: Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the oil and saute the onions until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt, add the garlic and saute for 1 to 2 minutes without letting the garlic brown. Set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, mustard, Worcestershire, hot sauce and eggs, then season with salt and pepper. Add the beef, pork and veal along with the crackers, parsley and cooked onion-garlic mixture. Use your hands to mix until everything is evenly combined. Place the meat mixture on the prepared baking sheet and use your hands to gently form into a rustic loaf shape, about 9 inches by 5 inches.
• For the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar and sriracha.
• Slather the glaze all over the meatloaf, then bake, basting once halfway through, until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F, about 1 hour. Let rest for 20 minutes before serving.

JEFF AND GEOFFREY'S ULTIMATE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Line the pan lengthwise with a long strip of parchment, rubbing it to adhere it to the pan and making sure it is long enough to hang over the ends of the pan.
• Put the beef, lamb and pork into a large mixing bowl and add the olives, onions, crushed saltines, yogurt, mint, oregano, cumin, garlic and egg. Add the hot sauce, salt and some ground pepper and very gently mix with your hands until the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Add the feta and mix lightly, incorporating the feta in whole crumbles if possible. Try not to overmix; it can make the meatloaf tough.
• Transfer the meat mixture to the pan and press it gently to eliminate any air pockets. Set the loaf pan on a baking sheet and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 155 degrees F, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Let the meatloaf cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before using the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan and transfer it to a serving platter. Slice while warm and serve with the Mint Tzatziki on the side.
• Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater into a large fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Sprinkle the cucumber generously with salt, tossing a few times with your hands to evenly distribute it; let stand for 10 minutes to drain.
• Using your hands, squeeze the cucumber to drain any excess moisture. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the yogurt, mint and garlic. Stir well to combine, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary.
• Store the tzatziki in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

INSTANT POT BEST MEATLOAF & MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together all the meatloaf ingredients by hand for about 2 minutes until it clumps together and stays in a giant meatball formation. Spray a bundt pan (use this one for best results) with non-stick cooking spray and pack the meatloaf mixture into it. Cover with non-stick foil or spritz non-stick spray on the foil and puncture a hole in the middle of the foil so the steam can go through the bundt pan's center - DO NOT forget to do this (NOTE: If you don't want to use the bundt, you can shape the meat into a rectangular loaf and rest it on non-stick aluminum foil with the sides of the foil folded up so it covers all sides of the meatloaf with the top fully exposed. Just make sure the loaf is even in terms of shape or it may not cook evenly - which is why I suggest using this fabulous bundt pan for guaranteed even cooking results and a lovely ring shape)
• Add the potatoes, chicken broth and garlic cloves to the Instant Pot. Rest the trivet on top of the potatoes and garlic (press it down good so the trivet rests flat) and then rest the bundt pan on top of the trivet. Secure the lid and hit "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" at High Pressure for 35 minutes (NOTE: I did this in a 6qt and it fits absolutely perfectly)
• While the meatloaf's cooking, mix together all the ingredients for the meatloaf glaze in a bowl until well combined. Set aside when done
• Once the Instant Pot has finished cooking, perform a quick release. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees while the steam's releasing
• Using some tongs and a dish towel/oven mitt, remove the bundt from the pot. Pour out any excess drippings from the bundt into a hot-oil proof container over the sink, carefully securing the meatloaf in place with a spatula or dish/paper towel so it doesn't slide out (that would be a shame)
• Line a baking sheet with non-stick foil or spray some non-stick cooking spray on regular foil. Place the foil-lined baking sheet over the bundt and, firmly holding them together with your hands protected from the heat, quickly flip upside down. The meatloaf will slide right out of the bundt and onto the foil. (If it breaks apart a little since it's super moist and tender, that's okay and you can easily place it back into formation). Brush the meatloaf glaze all over the meatloaf and pop it into the oven for 5-10 minutes until the glaze caramelizes (I went for 7 minutes). Keep an eye on it as all ovens vary! (NOTE: If you didn't use the bundt pan, just fold the foil sides down around the meatloaf, drain the drippings into a hot-oil proof container over the sink and then place the meatloaf on a baking sheet with the non-stick foil under it)
• While the meatloaf's in the oven, use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to the desired consistency and then add in all the "Potatoes After Mashing" ingredients. Stir until well combined and adjust any seasonings to taste
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven and carefully transfer to a serving dish or cake platter using two spatulas supporting the bottom. Place some of the mashed potatoes in the center of the ring (for presentation) and place the rest in a serving dish
• Enjoy this epic feast!
