Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
1 rib finely chopped celery
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pound ground beef
6 ounces soft Mexican chorizo, removed from casing and crumbled
1 poblano chile, roasted, peeled, and diced
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 eggs, well beaten
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup sour cream or Mexican sour cream
1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
2 medium tomatoes, cored
1/4 medium white onion
2 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 to 3 serrano chiles
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce, minced
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a heavy skillet, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring often until vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • In a large bowl combine the sauteed vegetables, ground beef, chorizo, and diced poblano chile.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the salt, pepper, cayenne, cumin, and eggs. Add the ketchup and sour cream. Mix well with a fork and pour it on top of the mixed meats. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and mix thoroughly with clean hands.
  • Put the mixture into a 9 by 13-inch loaf-pan. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, about 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully pour off any accumulated pan juices.
  • Meanwhile, heat a heavy skillet over high heat. Add the whole tomatoes, onion, garlic cloves, and serrano chiles. Cook, turning frequently, until lightly charred on all sides. Peel the garlic cloves. Add all the charred ingredients to a blender. Pulse until chunky, then pour into a small skillet. Stir in the sugar, chipotle chile and mustard. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Cook until slightly thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt, to taste.
  • Slice the meatloaf and arrange on a platter. Spoon the salsa-glaze over the meatloaf and serve.

GRANDMOMMY'S MEXICALI MEATLOAF



Grandmommy's Mexicali Meatloaf image

After my boyfriends grandmother passed, I was given her recipe book to take down some that looked good to me. This one is a winner. ** Update 3/7- I just made this for the first time myself and realized that in the recipe it calls for milk but it is not listed in the ingredients. I guess I did not record this when copying the recipe so I used about 2 cups to get it creamy like it should be.. however.. I ended up with too much sauce. I used it over chicken later in the week.

GRANDMA'S MEATLOAF WITH OATS



Grandma's Meatloaf with Oats image

Grandma's meatloaf recipe was the best I have ever tried to make. My previous attempts to create a healthy, yet good tasting meatloaf recipe failed repeatedly because each attempt resulted in a dry loaf. Not so with Grandma's recipe! I added more seasonings and scaled her recipe up a bit so 2 full pounds of beef can be used and a whole can of tomato sauce (instead of a partial can). Plus beef is usually sold in 1-pound packages, so assembly time is reduced.

MY MOM'S VEGETABLE "MEATLOAF" WITH CHECCA SAUCE



My Mom's Vegetable

Provided by Giada De Laurentis

Categories     Tomato     Bake     Vegetarian     Dinner     Mozzarella     Lentil     Healthy     Brown Rice     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 25

Sauce
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
3 scallions, white and pale green parts only, coarsely chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
8 fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Lentil Loaf
Vegetable oil cooking spray
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small white onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, shredded
1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
10 ounces fresh baby spinach (about 4 cups)
1 (15-ounce) can cooked lentils, rinsed and drained
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 medium tomatoes, sliced

Steps:

  • For the sauce:
  • In a food processor, combine the cherry tomatoes, scallions, garlic, basil, oil, salt, and pepper. Pulse the tomatoes until they are coarsely chopped, being careful not to puree them. Transfer the sauce to a bowl.
  • For the lentil loaf:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 10 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan with vegetable oil cooking spray.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl to cool slightly. Reserve the skillet.
  • In the same large skillet, cook the spinach over medium heat until the spinach wilts, about 3 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. Squeeze the excess liquid from the spinach. Transfer the spinach to a cutting board and coarsely chop. Add to the onion mixture.
  • Add the lentils, brown rice, 3/4 cup of the mozzarella, the corn, basil, eggs, egg white, salt, pepper, and 3/4 cup of the sauce to the cooled onion mixture. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan. Arrange the sliced tomatoes in 2 rows over the lentil mixture, covering the top completely. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Bake until the loaf is heated through and the topping is melted and starting to brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes. Slice the loaf (still in the pan) into 1-inch slices, arrange on plates, and serve with the remaining sauce.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of ground meats to create a flavorful and moist meatloaf. A combination of beef, pork, and veal works well.
  • Add plenty of seasonings and spices to the meatloaf mixture. This will help to give it a delicious flavor.
  • Use a binder, such as eggs or breadcrumbs, to help hold the meatloaf together.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a loaf pan at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, corn, or green beans.

Conclusion:

Grandmommy's Mexicali Meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a family meal. With its flavorful combination of ground meats, spices, and vegetables, this meatloaf is sure to be a hit. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
