MEATLOAF STEW
My family loved this. Meatloaf is cooked on top of veggies in a slow cooker. When I get home supper is ready! I have added turnips or rutabagas as well, it's a great way to sneak in vegetables! I got the recipe from a Company's Coming cookbook

THE BEST MEATLOAF
We opted for an all-beef meatloaf rather than the traditional mix of beef, veal and pork because we wanted that satisfying big beef flavor. Milk adds richness and tenderizes the meat, preventing it from getting tough or dry. We also cook the onion instead of adding it raw as many recipes suggest, which imparts a welcome sweetness and eliminates that harsh raw onion flavor.

Steps:
- Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl until completely combined. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and lightly golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add 3 tablespoons of the ketchup and cook until most of the moisture has evaporated and the mixture is thick and brick red colored, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the onions cool slightly. Then add them to the beaten eggs and mix to combine.
- Add the beef to the egg and onion mixture. Break up the meat with a fork or wooden spoon, and then mix to thoroughly combine; you don't want to see any lumps of raw beef. Add the panko and mix to combine. Stir the meat vigorously with a wooden spoon for about 7 seconds; it will become more homogenous and tackier.
- Transfer the meat to the prepared baking sheet and shape into a 9-by-5-inch loaf. Smooth the top and evenly spread the remaining ketchup over top. Bake for 5 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 150 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

Steps:
- For the meatballs: Place the bread and 3 tablespoons water into a medium bowl. Mash to a paste with a spatula. Add the beef, sausage, egg, parsley, salt and pepper. Blend the mixture thoroughly with your hands or a flexible spatula. Form the mixture into 10 to 16 meatballs. Arrange the meatballs on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet until ready to use.
- For the hearty meatball stew: Sprinkle the meatballs with the flour and turn to coat with any flour still on the foil. Heat a large heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Drop the meatballs into the skillet, spaced apart. Cook until the bottoms are set and brown, about 2 minutes. Using a flexible thin spatula, turn each meatball onto an uncooked side and cook until the bottoms are set and brown, about 2 minutes longer. Turn and cook a third side, until set and brown, about another 2 minutes, so the meatballs are browned and set all over. Transfer the meatballs to a large plate.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, peppers, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Cook until soft, 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and the remaining salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, beans, tomatoes, red pepper flakes and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and cook until the potatoes are tender and the meatballs are cooked through, about 20 minutes.

CLASSIC MEATLOAF
Good meatloaf is about as comforting as comfort food gets. Thankfully, meatloaf doesn't have to be complex to be good. It just needs to be tender (from breadcrumbs soaked in milk and gentle handling) and flavorful (from onion, garlic, and ketchup).

LEFTOVER MEATLOAF SOUP
Ok, so I had this leftover meatloaf that no one was going to eat [no one but me likes meatloaf] and I needed to use it up, so I came up with this soup, and it turned out pretty good. I'm really just posting it so I remember how to make it [ha-ha] if you make it, feel free to sub prepared meatballs as well, and to mix up the veggies as to what you have on hand. It makes a lot, but it does freeze okay.

Steps:
- Sauté onions and garlic in a small amount of oil.
- Add carrots and potatoes, and cook for another minute.
- Pour in tomatoes (I used to pre-seasoned kind) and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add stock and bring to a boil.
- Add frozen vegetables, barley and pasta, and meatloaf.
- Return the pot to a boil, cover and let simmer for 20 minutes or until barley is tender.
- Toss in a few handfuls of baby spinach leaves (optional).
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Choose the right ground meat: Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for a flavorful and juicy meatloaf stew. Ensure the ground beef is at least 80% lean to avoid excess grease.
- Season well: Don't skimp on the seasonings. A flavorful meatloaf stew starts with a well-seasoned meatloaf. Use a combination of dried herbs, fresh herbs, and spices to create a delicious and complex flavor profile.
- Don't overcook the meatloaf: The meatloaf should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Overcooking will result in a dry and tough meatloaf.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the stew. Use a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
- Make a flavorful gravy: The gravy is what brings the meatloaf stew together. Use the pan drippings from the meatloaf to make a flavorful gravy. Add some beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Meatloaf stew is a hearty, comforting, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying meatloaf stew that the whole family will enjoy. So, next time you're looking for an easy and delicious meal, give meatloaf stew a try.
