Best 6 Meatloaf Twist Recipes

MEATLOAF WITH A RANCH TWIST

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine the vegetable juice, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan over medium heat; cook until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
• Mix the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, ranch dressing mix, sage, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Gradually sprinkle the bread crumbs into the meat while mixing so the crumbs are distributed evenly throughout; add the egg and milk and continue mixing. Shape the mixture into a loaf and transfer to a loaf pan. Pour about half the sauce over the meatloaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cut the meatloaf into 6 even slices. Pour the remaining sauce over the slices to serve.

MEATLOAF WITH A TWIST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
• Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, and set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Set the onion and garlic aside.
• In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, black pepper, onion and garlic mixture, eggs, chicken broth, and Romano cheese until thoroughly combined. In a second bowl, mix the mashed potatoes and ricotta cheese.
• Spoon half the meat mixture into the prepared baking dish, and smooth into an even layer with a spoon. Spread the mashed potato mixture over the meat, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge of the meat; sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella cheese over the mashed potato layer. Cover the cheese with the remaining meat mixture in an even layer; press the edges down to seal in the mashed potatoes. Sprinkle loaf with additional 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese, if desired.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the loaf is browned and the meat is no longer pink, about 1 hour. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let the loaf stand for 10 minutes before serving.

CIN'S "EASY ITALIAN STYLE MEATLOAF W/A TWIST"

Steps:

• 1. Grease loaf pans with extra-virgin olive oil. Preheat oven to 350 dF.
• 2. Topping: Using the 1/4 can tomato paste you retained add 1/4 c ketchup and 1/8 c vidalia onion poppyseed dressing...mix together well, set aside.
• 3. Grab yourself a large mixing bowl (big enough to get your hands in), to mix ingredients up. Add aLL ingredients together, (except topping mix), and combine well.
• 4. Put into oiled loaf pans and spread your topping all over the top of each loaf. This mixture will make enough to fill 1-regular sized loaf pan plus 2-mini loaf pans (or 2-regular loaf pans).
• 5. Bake for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours (or when the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160 dF)...I baked all 3 in oven at the same time together, so it took about 1-1/2 hours to bake it, When baked let it rest about 5 minutes or more, on cooling racks before removing from pan to platter, then it's ready to eat. Enjoy!!!!

MINI ME'S- "MEATLOAF WITH A TWIST"

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 450*
• 2. In the 1/2 cup of ketchup-mix together ketchup and brown sugar. I use a fork to mix this,making sure I get all the lumps out.
• 3. In another bowl mix all of the remaining ingredients. You can now add your ketchup and brown sugar reserving 1/4 cup to brush on the tops when your meat loaves are finished baking. I usually mix more than a 1/2 cup and a little more sugar, using the full 1/2 cup in my mixture and still have 1/4 cup to brush on the tops of the loaves when finished baking
• 4. Lightly spray muffin pan with cooking spray. Press or roll your meat mixture into 12 balls. I roll mine into mini meatloaf balls. Place in muffin tin. You can now brush some of the ketchup and brown sugar mixture on tops saving enough to brush the tops again when they have finished baking. I place my muffin tin on a cookie pan with sides in to the oven. In case the juices spill out while baking
• 5. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until meat is no longer pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 160*F. Remove from oven. Poor any excess grease off, brush the tops with remaining ketchup and sugar. Remove from muffin pan and place mini loaves on a platter layered in paper towels. These are delicious with my homemade mashed potatoes!! Enjoy!
