5 Meatloaf Recipes // Mandy in the Making

 Paula Deen's BBQ

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 diced onion
  • 1 lightly beaten egg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 8-ounce cans tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup to thin sauce if necessary water
  • 3 tablespoon vinegar
  • 3 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Mix together the beef, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce. Form this mixture into a loaf and place it in a shallow pan. Stir together the remaining tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar, mustard, Worcestershire and the water (if too thick). Pour this sauce over the meatloaf. Bake for 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes with the pan juices.

  • Glazed Chipotle

  • The Chunky Chef

  • Ingredients

    • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
    • 1 Tbsp butter
    • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 3/4 cup finely diced bread slices
    • 1/4 cup milk
    • 2 lbs ground beef (I use ground chuck 80/20 or 85/15)
    • 2/3 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
    • 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, minced
    • 2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
    • 2 tsp chili powder
    • 1 tsp ground cumin
    • 1 tsp kosher salt
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper
    • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

    CHIPOTLE KETCHUP SAUCE:

    • 1/2 cup ketchup
    • 2-3 Tbsp adobo sauce from the can of chipotle peppers
    • 2 -3 Tbsp light brown sugar, packed

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.  Add butter to small skillet and melt over MED heat.  Add onion and cook 4-5 minutes, until soft and slightly browned on the edges, stirring occasionally.  Add garlic and cook 1 minute.  Set aside to cool slightly.
    • Add diced bread pieces and milk to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add beef, cheese, cilantro, minced chipotle peppers, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, beaten egg and cooked onion mixture.  Mix together until just combined.
    • Lightly spray a meatloaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.  Pat meatloaf into prepared pan.
    • Combine sauce ingredients in small bowl.  Slather about half the sauce on the top of meatloaf, and bake for 60-90 minutes, until meatloaf is about 150-155 F degrees.  Let stand 10 minutes before serving.  Use the remaining half of the sauce to spoon over the top or dip the meatloaf in as you eat 🙂

    SLOW COOKER INSTRUCTIONS:

    • Complete steps 1-2 as written above.  Line a 4 quart or larger slow cooker with aluminum foil or parchment paper with holes poked into it every 1-2 inches (to drain the grease after cooking).  Shape meatloaf into a loaf shape and place on foil/parchment paper.  
    • Top with half the sauce, cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours, until meatloaf is 150-155 F degrees.  Carefully lift meatloaf out of slow cooker, letting grease drain through the holes.  If desired, place on baking sheet and broil a few minutes, until sauce is sticky.  Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
