Mystery Meat Loaf Recipes

IMPOSSIBLY EASY MINI MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. In large bowl, stir 1/4 cup of the ketchup and remaining ingredients until well mixed.
• Spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Place meat mixture in pan; pat into 10x4-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise down center and then crosswise into fourths to make 8 loaves. Separate loaves, using spatula, so no edges are touching. Brush loaves with remaining ketchup.
• 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.

SUPER MOIST MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Thoroughly mix ground beef, onion, eggs, bread, milk, green bell pepper, salt, sage, and black pepper together in a bowl. Press into a loaf pan. Spread ketchup over the top of the loaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

MOM'S SECRET INGREDIENT MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Mix ground chuck with breadcrumbs.
• (extra lean works well too).
• Add salt,pepper and egg.
• Mixing with you hands now, add the Heinz Chili Sauce and the milk.
• Seperate the mixture in half and form 2 loaves.
• They will both fit comfortably in a 13" by 9" pan.
• Mix the topping together and spread on the top and the sides of the loaves.
• Cook at 375 for one hour or 400 for 45 minutes.
• Check for firmness.
• Let rest for ten minutes before cutting.
• Tips---------.
• If you have stale bread you can lay 2 slices under each loaf and it will soak up the grease so your meatloaf is a bit leaner upon serving.
• Also, you can use the Chili Sauce on top of the meatloaf instead of catsup.
• This makes it spicier but my mother never did this because it would have given away her"Secret Ingredient" -- and the kids probably will like it better with catsup on top.
• Enjoy!

MINI MEATLOAF GHOSTS

Steps:

• Combine ground beef, salt, pepper, cayenne, green onions, parsley, bread crumbs, egg, and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Mix with a fork until just combined; do not overmix. Wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
• Remove meat from the refrigerator and divide into 8 equal portions. Dampen your fingers with cold water and roll meat into smooth balls. Form each ball into a ghost (or pear) shape and place on the prepared sheet pan; try to center the heads over the bodies.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until cooked through, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 150 degrees F (66 degrees C).
• Remove from the oven and immediately place a slice of provolone cheese on the top of each ghost, centering it the best you can. Cut the remaining 2 slices of provolone into quarters and place those over the center to provide more cheese for the head. The residual heat from the meat will start to melt the cheese and it will droop down.
• Return to the oven until the cheese melts, 30 to 60 seconds.
• Remove from the oven and take some of the melted cheese around the bottoms and wrap and drape it back up over the heads. Use the tip of a knife to form eyes and mouths, then neaten up the bottom of the cheese "sheets."
• Combine ketchup, barbecue sauce, and Sriracha for blood sauce; ladle onto plates and serve meatloaf ghosts on top.

CLASSIC MEATLOAF RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and golden brown, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until the tomato paste turns deep red in color, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the onion mixture cool to room temperature.
• In a large bowl, stir together the panko and milk. Add the ground beef, eggs, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, pepper, and the onion mixture and use your hands to combine. Do not overmix!
• Shape the beef mixture into a 10 x 5-inch loaf on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top and sides with ketchup.
• Bake the meatloaf until the top is browned and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C), about 50 minutes.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!
