Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, minced
1 red bell pepper, minced
Pinch crushed red pepper, optional
2 pounds ground beef (I use 80/20)
1 cup grated Parmesan
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
16 fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup marinara sauce
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 soft sub rolls, split
Garlic salt, as needed
1 cup marinara sauce
1 pound sliced mozzarella

Steps:

  • For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, bell pepper and crushed red pepper if using and saute until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine the beef, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, kosher salt, pepper, basil, eggs, 1/2 cup of the marinara and the cooled vegetables. Use your hands to mix everything together. Transfer the mixture to the center of the prepared baking sheet and form into a loaf. Coat the meat loaf with the remaining 1/2 cup marinara.
  • Bake until the meat loaf is firm, 45 minutes to 1 hour (depending on the shape of your loaf). Let set for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  • For the sandwiches: Butter the rolls and then sprinkle with garlic salt. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until light golden and toasted, about 5 minutes.
  • Add a slice of meatloaf to each toasted roll and top with some of the marinara and 3 slices mozzarella. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups ketchup
1 cup canned whole cranberry sauce
1/2 jalapeno or serrano, optional
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, finely diced
2 stalks celery, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds ground turkey
1 1/2 cups stuffing mix
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 sweet potato, cut into 8 wedges, then halved again lengthwise into spears

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the ketchup, cranberry sauce and jalapeno in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and let cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, then discard the chile and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until both soften and start to become translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.

  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a loaf. Pour the remaining ketchup sauce over the loaf and spread so that the entire loaf is covered with sauce. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the sweet potatoes in a bowl with remaining tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and scatter the wedges on the baking sheet around the meatloaf. Return to the oven and cook for another 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and transfer to a serving platter. Surround with the baked sweet potatoes.

KATIE JOEL'S MEATLOAF RECIPE



Katie Joel's Meatloaf Recipe image

This recipe is for the best meatloaf. It makes a moist, tasty and filling dinner treat. The recipe comes from Katie Joel's new cookbook. She makes this for Billy Joel and Paula Deen etc and they love it. I can see why. I followed the recipe except I didn't have parchment paper so I sprayed the baking sheet before putting the meatloaf on it. My oven took 10 minutes more to make it perfection but otherwise it was straight from the recipe. Don't skimp on the fresh herbs they make the recipe flavors melt together and enhance it so much. My husband, mother and children loved it. Katie Joel writes, "I like to call meat loaf 'man loaf' because it's every man's favorite dish," Katie says. "My husband loves when I make meat loaf, and it makes the best leftovers." Further she says, "We love it the next day on white bread with mayonnaise." I do too. Try it and you might start liking meatloaf again. Happy tasting.

KATE'S HEARTY MEATLOAF



Kate's Hearty Meatloaf image

I have made many different meatloaf recipes, but this is the one I will make from now on. This recipe is from Kate Gosselin from " John and Kate plus Eight" . This is a clever way to sneak vegetables onto picky eaters plates. It seems like alot of vegetables, but if you use the food processor on pulse to shred the vegetables finely without pureeing them, they cook down to nothing. What you have is a moist, flavorful meatloaf. I have one of the world's most pickiest eaters and even he ate it and said it was very good.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: For the best flavor, use a combination of 80% lean and 20% fat ground beef.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan with a lid: This will help the meatloaf to cook evenly and stay moist.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.
  • Make sure the sauce is simmering before adding the meatballs: This will help to prevent the meatballs from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the meatballs until they are browned on all sides: This will help to seal in the flavor and prevent the meatballs from falling apart.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce: You can use a traditional tomato sauce, a creamy Alfredo sauce, or a tangy barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and moist meatloaf that your family and friends will love.
