BO'S FAVORITE MEATLOAF - FOR MEATLOAF HATERS

Bo's Favorite Meatloaf - for Meatloaf Haters image

My husband has always sworn that he hates meat loaf. I came across a recipe in a Campbell Soup cook book and changed it to his taste. Now he wants this meat loaf every week and absolutely loves it. It stays moist and reheats very well so we can make a large batch of it at a time. We add it to omelets in the morning and make sandwiches out of it for lunch.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 lb ground chuck
1 lb ground pork
1 medium onion
4 green onions
1 stalk celery
1 sprig parsley
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh cracked pepper
1 tablespoon salt
3 slices bread
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups V8 vegetable juice

Steps:

Dice and saute onion, green onion (including most of the green parts)and celery.
When your saute is transparent, add the garlic. (I usually slice mine with a cheese grater).
Continue until onions are lightly browned. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Finely chop parsley.
Breifly soak bread in water.
Add bread, egg, and all other ingredients to the meat in a large bowl; knead together.
Add small amounts of the V8 until it is gone or the consistency feels right to you. It should be well bound, but with a good amount of moisture to it.
Mold the meat into buttered loaf pan.
Turn the mold over onto a flat baking sheet, letting it fall down onto the pan to get the meat back out if necessary.
Cook for 1 hour 15 minutes.
Why sour cream? Its added moisture (fat not grease)you will lose from all of the nasty grease/fat you will see hanging off the sides of the loaf when it is done. Why bread? Still used as a binder, but without all of the moisture loss of breadcrumbs or cracker crumbs. Why V8? 8 wonderful veggies in a tomato liquid, I have found it is perfect for this meatloaf.

Tips:

Use a variety of meats. This will give your meatloaf more flavor and texture. You can use ground beef, ground pork, ground lamb, or even ground turkey.
Don't overmix the meat. Overmixing will make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
Add plenty of flavorings. This is what will really make your meatloaf stand out. You can use chopped onions, garlic, celery, carrots, herbs, and spices.
Don't forget the binder. A binder will help to hold the meatloaf together. You can use eggs, breadcrumbs, or oatmeal.
Cook the meatloaf properly. The internal temperature of the meatloaf should reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf.
Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy are all classic options.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With these tips, you can make a meatloaf that even meatloaf haters will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give meatloaf a try.
