2 pounds meatloaf mix (ground beef, pork and veal)
1 1/4 cups shredded Cheddar (about 5 ounces)
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 small green onions, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced

HEINZ 57 CHEDDAR MEATLOAF



Heinz 57 Cheddar Meatloaf image

Not your average meatloaf! The Heinz 57 sauce just gives this great flavor, not too strong, just like a hidden ingredient! I always serve with Catalina dressing to dip it in...AWESOME! The leftovers make great meatloaf sandwiches I butter two slices of bread, put on med. heat frying pan, top one slice with cheese, top cheese with fresh sliced mushrooms then add warmed meatloaf on top, until cheese is melted and bread is golden brown. On the other toasted slice spread mayo. Top meatloaf with a good amount of Heinz 57 and place the two pieces together. Y-U-M.

BBQ CHEDDAR MINI MEATLOAF "MUFFINS"



BBQ Cheddar Mini Meatloaf

I've always loved meatloaf- but never could find the right recipe. I especially hate all the fat left in the pan after a regular loaf is baked. This recipe is easy, absolutely delicious, and since you have 12 small "muffins" instead of 1 large loaf, there is not a lot of fat left in the bottom of the tin. If you don't want to stray from traditional meatloaf- go ahead and use ketchup instead- but I recommend trying the BBQ at least once- my family loves it! Also great for potlucks since everyone can have their own individual muffin!

MOM'S MEATLOAF W/ CHEDDAR & BEER



MOM'S MEATLOAF W/ CHEDDAR & BEER image

Categories     Beef     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. canola or olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup small-diced carrots
1/2 cup small-diced celery
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
3/4 cup stout beer, such as Guinness
4 oz. medium-coarse white bread, such as Italian or French, cut into 2-inch pieces (about 2-1/2 cups)
1 cup whole milk
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground veal
2 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Cheddar
1/4 cup dried mushrooms, rehydrated in hot water and chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
Kosher Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 strips bacon criscross

Steps:

  • Heat 2 Tbs. of the oil in a 10- to 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic, stirring frequently, until softened and just beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the stout, and simmer briskly, until almost dry, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool until warm. In a shallow dish that holds it in a single layer, soak the bread in the milk, flipping once, until soggy but not falling apart, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the coarseness and freshness of the bread. Lightly squeeze a handful of bread at a time to remove some of the milk (it should be wet but not drenched). Finely chop and add to the bowl with the vegetable mixture. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F. Add the beef, veal and eggs to the onion mixture. Scatter the Cheddar, rehydrated mushrooms, and parsley over the meat, and then sprinkle with the Worcestershire, 2-1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Use your hands to gently mix all the ingredients until just combined; try not to compact the mixture as you do this. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment. Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the baking pan and form into a 10x4-inch rectangular block (it becomes loaf-shaped as it cooks). Finish the meatloaf by draping it with slightly overlapping strips of bacon, tucking the ends under the loaf. Bake until an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F in the center of the meatloaf, 40 to 55 minutes. Broil the meatloaf about 6 inches from the broiler element until the bacon is brown and crisped, about 3 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board or serving platter with a large spatula and cut into 3/4- to 1-inch-thick slices.
