FANCY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Soak bread in milk for 10 minutes.
• Mix beef, veal, eggs, pancetta, Parmesan, parsley and lemon zest in a large bowl. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Squeeze the bread to remove excess milk, then chop and add it to the meat. Mix gently until well combined, but do not overmix. Transfer onto a board and shape into a fine meatloaf, shy of a foot in length and 4 inches across. Loosely cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Heat oil and butter in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatloaf and sear without moving it until it is browned, about 5 minutes. Carefully slide a spatula under the meatloaf, then gently use another spatula to help turn it and brown the second side, again without moving it for 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of the fat, return skillet to the stove and raise heat to high. Add wine and deglaze pan, scraping up browned bits stuck to it with a wooden spoon. Return meatloaf to the skillet and then transfer to the oven, basting occasionally with the pan juices, until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf reads 150 degrees, about 25 minutes.
• Transfer the meatloaf to a platter and let stand, tented with foil, 10 minutes. Slice, pour the pan juices over the top and serve.

NOT MY MOMMA'S MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pulse the celery, carrots and onions in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the oil to a saute pan over medium-low heat, then add the chopped veggies and cook, covered, until translucent. Transfer the veggies to a plate and cool in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, mix together the panko, buttermilk, ketchup, Worcestershire and eggs in a bowl. Add the parsley, salt, black pepper and cayenne and mix well. Once the veggies are cool, add them to the mixture and incorporate. Next add the ground beef and pork and mix thoroughly with your hands.
• Line two loaf pans with parchment paper and divide the meatloaf mixture between them. Cover with foil and bake until the meatloaves reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 1 hour. Slice and serve immediately, or cool, slice and reheat. Serve with Herb Aioli and Spicy Hollandaise.
• Add the mayonnaise, olive oil, sage, green onions, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and egg yolks to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and well incorporated.
• Melt the butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Blend the yolks, hot sauce, wine, salt and pepper in a blender, then drizzle in the melted butter while blending, until the sauce is smooth.

"BETTER THAN BEEF" MEATLESS MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Very generously grease a loaf pan.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add mushrooms and 1 teaspoon kosher salt and sauté until nicely browned and juices have evaporated, about 10 minutes. Stir in onion and cook until soft, another 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add celery, tomato paste, and beef base; cook and stir until tomato paste begins to toast on the bottom of the pan, about 3 minutes. Stir in water and turn off the heat; let sit for about 3 minutes.
• Transfer mushroom mixture into a food processor. Add cooked lentils and pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
• Transfer to a mixing bowl and add eggs, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, thyme, cayenne, ketchup, bread crumbs, oats, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Mix until thoroughly combined.
• Transfer mixture into the prepared loaf pan, then wrap with foil and place on a sheet pan.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until firm to the touch, about 1 hour.
• Remove the loaf from the oven and place on a wire rack. Remove the foil and place it on the baking sheet. Grease the foil with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Let the loaf sit for 10 to 15 minutes, and increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• While the loaf is resting, make the glaze: Whisk ketchup, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar together in a small bowl.
• Invert the loaf onto the foil and spread glaze all over the surface, mostly on the top but some on the sides.
• Return to the oven and bake until the glaze is cooked on, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Carefully transfer the loaf onto a cutting board. Cut into 6 slices and serve.

• Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes. You just need the casserole to heat through. Remove from oven when cheese has completely melted and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
