Meatloaf Meatballs To Die For Recipes

CHEF JOHN'S MEATBALL-INSPIRED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion with a pinch of salt in hot oil and butter until onion is golden brown and soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove skillet from heat and cool onion mixture to room temperature.
• Place bread crumbs in a large bowl. Add milk and stir with a fork until combined. Let sit until all of the milk is absorbed into the breadcrumbs, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Combine ground chuck, cooled onion mixture, parsley, Parmesan cheese, eggs, 2 teaspoons salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Grab a handful of breadcrumbs and squeeze very gently to remove excess milk. Repeat with remaining breadcrumbs, transfer breadcrumbs to ground chuck mixture, and discard excess milk. Stir ground chuck mixture until evenly combined.
• Turn chuck mixture out into prepared baking dish, and shape meat into a 3x4x10-inch meatloaf. Pour tomato sauce over the loaf and into the bottom of the dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

MEATLOAF SURPRISE MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line broiler pan with foil; spray foil with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix beef, bread crumbs, 1/3 cup of the ketchup, the parsley, onion, salt, pepper and egg. Shape meat mixture into 32 (1 1/4-inch) meatballs, placing 1 potato nugget in center of each. Place meatballs in pan.
• Bake 25 to 28 minutes or until thoroughly cooked.
• In large serving bowl, mix remaining 2/3 cup ketchup and the brown sugar. Add hot cooked meatballs, tossing to coat completely. Serve immediately.

MEATLOAF TO DIE FOR

Steps:

• Chop the onion then mix all the ingredients for the meat portion together, uncooked. All the seasonings should be eyeballed in -- just use your own knowledge of what tastes your family likes. Not too much of the liquid smoke or Worcestershire, but give a good few shakes of each. This really adds flavor. Mix together the ketchup and brown sugar for the topping and set aside.
• Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Pull out the meatloaf and drain the excess juice from the pan. Put on the topping and bake for another 30 minutes. This goes very well with cheesy potatoes! Also, the leftovers can be used as meatloaf sandwiches, yummy!
• ENJOY!

MEATLOAF? YES, SIMPLE, YET TO DIE FOR

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine all ingredients. Form into loaf in loaf pan. Bake 45 to 50 minutes.
• To vary recipe I have made a mixture of hamburger and local grocery store breakfast sausage, so tender. I've also formed into meatballs and cooked in spagetti sauce in crockpot or on stove till done.
