Sunnys Meat And Potatoes Bundt Loaf Recipes

SUNNY'S NUNYA BUSINESS MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Break up the beef and drop loosely in a large bowl. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the beef.
• In a medium bowl, add the tomatoes, soup mix and Parmesan. Mix and mash up any large chunks of tomatoes using a potato masher. Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary (the mix packet contains lots of seasoning, so you probably won't need to). Add the egg and stir.
• Pour all but 1/2 cup of the flavor base (tomato mixture) over the top of the beef. Using your less dominant hand with your fingers spread out like a pitchfork, gently mix and fold everything together, turning the bowl with your free hand, until just combined. Don't over-mix!
• Form the mixture into the shape of a loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet or press gently into a meatloaf pan. Top the loaf with the remaining flavor base. Cook until the internal temperature is 155 degrees F, 50 to 65 minutes. Remove and gently cover with aluminum foil for 10 minutes to allow the ambient heat to bring it to 160 degrees F before slicing and serving.

SUNNY'S MEAT AND POTATOES BUNDT LOAF

Steps:

• For the potatoes: In a large bowl of cold water, add the potato slices and rest at room temperature, draining, rinsing and changing the water halfway through, for 30 minutes.
• For the loaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the inside bottom and sides of a nonstick bundt pan with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, add the breadcrumbs, onion, pesto, ketchup, 2 teaspoons salt and plenty of black pepper. Stir to combine and whisk in the eggs. Add the meatloaf blend and gently mix to distribute the ingredients. Press the meatloaf into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 30 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Remove the bundt pan and, using a medium bowl or liquid measure cup, gently tilt the pan and drain out the juices, reserving 1/2 cup. Place the foil-lined baking sheet on top of the bundt and, holding them together, flip them to unmold the loaf onto the baking sheet. Turn the oven up to 375 degrees F.
• Drain, rinse and dry the potatoes on a paper towel-lined plate. Wipe out the bowl and place the potatoes back in along with the melted butter, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Gently mix to coat. Begin to layer the curved top of the loaf with the potato slices, overlapping them slightly around the loaf, covering the top and about one-third of the way down the side of the loaf all around. Return to the oven and continue to bake until the potatoes begin to curl and become slightly golden on the edges, about 30 minutes more. Rest 10 minutes, then transfer to a serving dish.
• For the glaze: In a medium saucepot on medium-high heat, add the 1/2 cup pan drippings, the ketchup, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer, lower the heat to medium and cook until the sauce thickens and reduces, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the hot sauce and stir in the parsley. Pour over the loaf and serve.

SUNNY'S MEATLOAF BURGERS

Steps:

• For the sauce: Combine the ketchup, vinegar, sriracha and pepper in a small pot. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and refrigerate.
• For the patties: Add the olive oil to a small pan on medium-high heat, then add the onion, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon water. Stir to coat everything and cook until the onions are translucent but not browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the bread, egg, pesto, Worsterschire sauce, Parmesan and garlic in a medium bowl. Add the sauteed onions to the breadcrumb mixture and stir to completely combine. Break up the beef in a large bowl with your hands or a wooden spatula. Add the breadcrumb mixture and gently mix together.
• Preheat the grill for cooking with direct and indirect heat at 350 degrees F or heat a pan over medium-high heat.
• Evenly divide the mixture into 3 or 4 balls and form into patties. Place on the direct heat of the grill or into the pan. Cook on one side until the patties release, 5 to 6 minutes, then flip, transferring to the indirect heat of the grill. If using a pan, simply lower the heat and cover the patties with a lid or upside-down metal bowl. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, 5 to 6 minutes more. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
• For the burgers: Add a patty to each bun bottom, then top with the sauce and a pile of potato chips. Top with the bun tops. Enjoy!

MY BUNDT MIXED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• preheat oven to 375°. Coat a 10" Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Chop your onion. Prep your backing sheet with foil.
• in a large bowl, combine beef, turkey, onion, garlic, bread crumbs/panko, milk, ½ cup ketchup, Worcestershire, eggs, salt and pepper; mix very well. Place in the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 40 minutes.
• remove from oven, drain off the excess juices and flip the meatloaf upside down onto a foil lined baking sheet. Important. Why? The high sides of a Bundt pan makes it hard for the meatloaf to brown properly and get crispy. How? Cover the Bundt pan with the cookie sheet upside down on top of it so the foil side is facing inwards. With oven mitts grab the top and bottom of both pans carefully and flip it over.
• mix ½ cup ketchup with ¼ cup brown sugar. Brush the meatloaf with sauce and bake for another 20 minutes.
• remove and let sit for 5 minutes; transfer to serving platter.
