COUNTRY-STYLE MEAT LOAF

Provided by Food Network

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup onions (small diced)
1/2 cup celery (small diced)
1/2 cup red bell peppers (small diced)
1 pound ground pork
2 pounds ground sirloin
3/4 cup tomato ketchup
3 eggs (whole)
3/4 cup half and half
1-1/4 cups oatmeal
20 slices smoked bacon
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (kosher, coarse)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander seed
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin seed

Steps:

  • Lightly steam onions, celery, and bell peppers and let cool. Place the cooled vegetables into a mixing bowl and add the pork, sirloin, ketchup, eggs, half and half and mix well. Mix in the oatmeal and spice mix. Place the meat into a loaf pan lined with bacon strips. Place in refrigerator overnight so that the meat loaf firms up. When ready for use, remove from the refrigerator; cover the top of the loaf pan with aluminum foil; place in a pre-heated 350 degree oven on top of a roasting pan. Do this to prevent the overspill from making a mess out of your oven and cook until the inside temperature (with a thermometer) reaches 165 degrees (about 1 1/2 hours). 15 minutes before it is done, remove the foil - this will allow the top to brown. Remove from the oven and pour out excess oil and let it sit for 20 minutes. Turn the loaf pan upside down to remove the meatloaf. Slice with a sharp knife.

COUNTRY MEATLOAF WITH TOMATO RELISH



Country Meatloaf with Tomato Relish image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Tomato relish:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 bay leaves
1 onion, diced
2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
12 ounces bottled ketchup
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 pound ground pork
3 eggs
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • For the tomato relish, coat a skillet with olive oil and place over medium heat. Saute the garlic, bay leaves, and onion together until they caramelize. Add the red peppers and cook until soft. Add the tomatoes, parsley and Worcestershire sauce, cook for 10 minutes until the vegetables cook down. Stir in the ketchup and continue to cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork together with your hands. Fold in 1/2 cup of the tomato relish. Add the eggs and thyme and mix with both hands just until blended. Do not over mix or the meat loaf will become dense and tough. Season with salt and pepper. Coat a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Fill the loaf pan with the meat mixture, mounding it a bit on top. Generously spoon some tomato relish on the surface. When cooked, this will form a top crust. Place the loaf pan on a cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the meat loaf has pulled away from the sides of the pan. Remove from pan, allow to cool slightly before cutting into slices. Serve with remaining sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground meat: A combination of ground beef and ground pork is a classic choice for meatloaf, but you can also use all beef, all pork, or even ground turkey. If using ground turkey, be sure to add some extra fat, such as butter or olive oil, to keep the meatloaf moist.
  • Use fresh bread crumbs: Stale bread crumbs will make your meatloaf dry and crumbly. For the best results, use fresh bread crumbs made from a good quality bread.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf will make it tough. Gently mix the ingredients until they are just combined.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: Cooking the meatloaf at a low temperature will help to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out. The ideal internal temperature for meatloaf is 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Letting the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf and prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and moist meatloaf that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give meatloaf a try!
