MEATLOAF WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Meatloaf With Caramelized Onions image

I couldn't find a recipe on this site (or elsewhere) for basic meatloaf with caramelized onions in the mix-not meatloaf with a topping of caramelized onions or "stuffed". Because I wanted the caramelized onions to take center stage, for that reason, you won't find any tomato sauce, mushrooms, no cheese, no strips of bacon on top, etc. in this recipe. The recipe was found on lifeisaplate.com and modified to my specifications. You can substitute other types of ground meat or use other meat in combination: turkey, chicken, buffalo, turkey, etc. Use any preferable binder of your choice, for example-finely ground breadcrumbs, almond or walnut meal, masa harina, rice flour. Brown rice was the binder I chose and it was ground to medium-coarse consistency (similar to cornmeal). The recipe was cut in half because I like meatloaf on the small size and save the larger size when I am need of a doorstop.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 large yellow sweet onions, cut into 1-inch dice (Vidalia, Maui, Hermiston, etc.)
1 -2 tablespoon sugar
1 lb ground grass fed beef (read recipe intro^^)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 tablespoons stone ground mustard (standard yellow mustard or Dijon will work)
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (soy sauce, Braggs will work, too)
1 garlic clove, minced (I used a small clove of garlic because the Worcestershire sauce I like is roasted garlic flavored.)
1/2 cup brown rice meal (read recipe ^intro)
dried parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pan on medium-low heat. Add the onions and sugar; cook until brown and sweet-approximately 20-30 minutes. Lower the heat if the onions are browning too quickly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the meatloaf ingredients with the caramelized onions (including all those browned bits at the bottom of the pan!); Do not overmix.
  • Transfer the meatloaf mixture to an oiled or parchment-lined loaf pan. (I used a large soup spoon, patting the mixture down and into the corners of the pan. Use the back of the spoon to smooth the top of the loaf.) If desired, lightly sprinkle the top of the loaf with dried parsley.
  • Bake at 375 for 45-60 minutes or until the meatloaf is not longer pink in the center.
  • Servings are estimated. Cooking time includes caramelizing the onions.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, mix all ingredients until incorporated. Form into loaf and place in loaf pan and bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes until cooked through. Allow to cool and slice meatloaf into 1-inch slices. On a serving plate, layer Napoleon style in the following order: Sauteed Vegetables, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, a slice of meatloaf, a second layer of Garlic Mashed Potatoes, a second slice of meatloaf, and top with Fried Leeks.
  • Thinly slice vegetables into 1/8-inch by 1/8-inch by 2-inch strips. Saute all vegetables in pan with olive oil and season, to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: 80/20 or 85/15 ground beef is ideal for meatloaf because it has enough fat to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Use a combination of herbs and spices to flavor the meatloaf, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Add moisture to the meatloaf: To prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry, add moisture to it by using ingredients like eggs, milk, or bread crumbs.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: Cooking the meatloaf at a low temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) helps to keep it moist and juicy.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: After the meatloaf is finished cooking, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it easier to slice and serve.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that can be easily made at home. By following the tips in this article, 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!
