Mimis Special Meatloaf Recipes

MIMI'S MEATLOAF AND SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. First prepare sauce: In saucepan with butter saute vegetables until tender. Then add remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a boil until sugar is dissolved. Then lower heat and keep at a very low, slow simmer while preparing meatloaf, allowing sauce to thicken.
• 2. For meatloaf: I don't saute the vegetables for the meatloaf but you could do so if desired. Mix all ingredients for meatloaf until very well mixed. Spray a loaf pan and put meat mixture into 9 x 5 loaf pan, or you can form into a loaf and bake on a cookie sheet with sides on it. I have a pan that is a double meatloaf pan with the inserts that go in so you can take the meatloaf out of the pan easily. I just use one side and bake the meatloaf for 1 hour. Then, I use the second side for the remaining part of the cooking.
• 3. After 1 hour remove meatloaf from oven and drain any grease, if possible. Then cover the meatloaf with most of the remaining sauce, saving some to use at the table. Finish baking the meatloaf for another 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to sit for about 10 minutes. Then serve, using the remaining sauce on each slice if desired.

• Bake about 30 minutes or until loaves are no longer pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in center of loaves in middle of muffin pan reads 160°F.
• Sprinkle 1 teaspoon cheese over each loaf. Bake 1 to 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Immediately remove from cups. Serve with pizza sauce.

MY SPECIAL MEATLOAF RECIPE

Steps:

• Meatloaf: Combine meat loaf ingredients and place into meatloaf pan or regular loaf pan. I usually have a little left over because the pan I use is a small one. The excess I freeze for future use as stuffed pepper filling (there's usually enough for 2 peppers).
• Smooth out top.
• Sauce: Combine sauce ingredients and pour on top and sides of meatloaf.
• Bake at 350°F about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until done.

• Mix all ingredients and form into a long loaf.
• Lay bacon over meatloaf and along the sides.
• Place into a 9x13 baking pan and bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours.
• I usually add nearly cooked potatoes for the last 20-25 minutes and sometimes I even make a gravy from the pan drippings.
• Remove from pan and cover with foil for 5 or 10 minutes to let the juices settle.
• Slice and serve.

30-MINUTE MINI MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. In small bowl, stir ketchup and brown sugar until mixed; reserve 1/4 cup for topping. In large bowl, stir remaining ingredients and remaining ketchup mixture until well mixed.
• Spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Place meat mixture in pan; pat into 12x4-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise down center and then crosswise into sixths to form 12 loaves. Separate loaves, using spatula, so no edges are touching. Brush loaves with reserved 1/4 cup ketchup mixture.
• Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until loaves are no longer pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in center of loaves reads 160°F.

MIMI'S MEATLOAF

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl mix all the ingredients together. The seasonings, worcestershire sauce, ketchup would be to your taste. I rarely measure, just shake and squirt! The amount of water would depend on how lean your meat is, you don't want the mix to be too dry.
• 2. Grease a loaf pan and put your mixed meatloaf into it, mounding it up from the sides of the pan (a wooden spoon works well for this) Squirt and spread ketchup on top. Place in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour.
• 3. This recipe is basic. I have been know to add leftover steamed vegies, or cooked rice, tomato sauce instead of ketchup, it just depends on what I have on-hand. So mix it up, it's all good!
