CAJUN MEATLOAF WITH CREOLE SAUCE



Cajun Meatloaf with Creole Sauce image

I woke up thinking creole and cajun. I then thought why not combine it in a meatloaf. This was a huge success! The meatloaf was so flavorful and the creole sauce took it over the top. I served it with fried cabbage and mashed potatoes. I put the creole sauce on the meatloaf and the mashed potatoes.

CREOLE TURKEY MEATLOAF



Creole Turkey Meatloaf image

OK, I had to get creative with meatloaf because my hubby hates it with a capital H! This is the only way he will eat it and I have to admit... It's very tasty, if I do say so myself. Instead of the typical ketchup topping I make a cheese sauce to top it when served.

Provided by Tina Asher

Categories     Meatloafs

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lb ground turkey
1 1/2 c seasoned bread crumbs
2 eggs
1 large red bell pepper, diced
1 medium onion, diced
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
2-3 tsp creole seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 c shredded cheese of choice (optional)
CHEESE SAUCE
1 can(s) cream of chicken soup
3/4 c heavy whipping cream
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients and pour into a loaf pan. Bake @ 350 for 40-50 minutes or until cooked through. Since it's turkey you don't have to worry about it getting too greasy and running over in the oven
  • 2. For cheese sauce: In a medium pot mix soup and cream. Over medium heat stir constantly to assure it doesn't scorch. Once it's heated through add cheese, again stirring constantly until completely melted. Add pepper to taste and serve over sliced meatloaf.

CREOLE MEATLOAF WITH TOMATO GRAVY RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Creole Meatloaf with Tomato Gravy Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by kimvess

Number Of Ingredients 19

1-1/2 pounds of very lean ground beef*
1 tablespoon of butter
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1/2 cup of green bell pepper, chopped fine
1 stalk (rib) of celery, chopped fine
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup of canola oil
2 tablespoons of all purpose flour (for the roux)
1 (15 ounce) can of tomato sauce
1 can of water
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup of evaporated milk
1 large egg
1/2 cup of seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper
Pinch of cayenne
Additional flour, for coating
1 tablespoon of canola oil, for browning

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the ground beef in a large bowl; set aside. Heat the butter over medium and cook the onion, bell pepper and celery until tender; add the garlic, cook for another minute, transfer to a plate to cool. Wipe out the skillet, and add the 1/4 cup of canola oil. Heat over medium high heat and stir in the flour. Cook and stir until it is browned, remove from the heat, and let cool slightly. Slowly whisk in the tomato sauce, water and Worcestershire and return to the heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Whisk together the milk and egg; stir in the bread crumbs and add that mixture to the ground beef. Add the salt, pepper, cayenne and cooked veggies; mix gently and shape into a loaf. The mixture should be firm. If it is breaking apart, return to the bowl and additional bread crumbs until it holds together. In a large, oven safe skillet, heat the tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Carefully transfer the meatloaf to the skillet and sear on all sides, turning carefully. Pat any cracks that form back together. Note: You can skip the searing process if you prefer. Once all sides have browned, pour the tomato gravy over the meatloaf and transfer the entire skillet to a 350 degree F oven for about 1 hour, basting occasionally. When an instant read thermometer reads 160 degrees F the meatloaf is done. Allow to sit for about 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Serve slices with a bit of the tomato gravy spooned over the top. Cook's Notes: This works best with an extra lean ground beef, so don't be tempted to try a higher fat ground beef because it just won't hold together for the searing process

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef. An 80/20 blend of ground beef is ideal for meatloaf, as it provides enough fat to keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful.
  • Use a variety of seasonings. Creole seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper are all classic meatloaf seasonings. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as thyme, rosemary, or cayenne pepper.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing the meatloaf will make it tough. Simply mix the ingredients until they are well combined.
  • Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape. Use your hands to form the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape. You can also use a meatloaf pan if you have one.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and juicy. Bake the meatloaf at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Creole meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its flavorful blend of spices and its moist and juicy texture, Creole meatloaf is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, try making Creole meatloaf. You won't be disappointed!
