MOM'S MEATLOAF

Provided by Suzan Colón

Categories     Beef     Mushroom     Onion     Pepper     Tomato     Sauté     Dinner     Casserole/Gratin     Meat     Winter     Pan-Fry     Simmer

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds ground beef
1/2 small box Saltines or similar crackers
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 large green peppers, chopped
2 medium-sized onions, chopped
8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced thick
1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes
1 32-ounce jar prepared tomato sauce
A few teaspoons of butter or olive oil
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Put ground meat in a large bowl. With your fist, push a bowl shape in the middle of the ground meat. Take a handful of crackers and crumble them by hand into the bowl shape in the beef. Beat the eggs and add them on top of the crackers, then pour in the milk. Season with a few shakes of salt and pepper and mix everything together with your hands.
  • Sauté peppers and onions in a small pan with about a teaspoon of butter or olive oil until just tender, about five minutes. Add about a third of this to the meatloaf mixture and set the rest aside for the gravy.
  • In a separate bowl or plate, crush a generous handful or so of the crackers. Form two large or three small loaves out of the meatloaf mixture and roll each in crushed crackers to coat. Melt about a teaspoon of butter in a large, deep pan and brown meatloaves over medium heat for about ten minutes. Flip each loaf with a long spatula to brown the other side, covering with lid both times.
  • While loaves are browning on the second side, sauté sliced mushrooms in a small pan in a teaspoon of butter or olive oil for about five minutes. In a medium-sized pot, combine a large can of diced tomatoes, a jar of your favorite prepared spaghetti sauce, the mushrooms, and the rest of the sautéed peppers and onions. Stir and let simmer for a few minutes, then add to meatloaves. Cover pan, turn heat down to low, and let loaves cook through, about an hour. Serve with blanched green beans and white rice.

I don't really like meatloaf at all, but when mom made this one, she really had a hit with the entire family! Not your typical meatloaf -- very tasty! Use fresh sausage, not frozen! Use more crackers if the loaf seems too moist before cooking. Excellent for sandwiches the next day!!

MOM'S GOOD OL' MEATLOAF



Mom's Good Ol' Meatloaf image

This is a very basic yet delicious meatloaf that is pretty much fool proof. I like to mix ground beef with ground venison for less grease and you won't need to drain it. However, all beef is just fine. Nothing fancy here, just good old fashion meatloaf that will please your tastebuds.

BETTER THAN MOM'S MEATLOAF



Better Than Mom's Meatloaf image

My mom's classic meatloaf was lacking in flavor and the topping was way too sweet. This "better than mom's" version still has lots of old-school appeal but has been kicked up a notch with a rich and savory flavor, plus we said goodbye to the sugary sweet topping. Sliced meatloaf leftovers make the best sandwiches. I like mine with mustard, cheese, and grilled onions!

MY MOM'S MEATLOAF RECIPE



My Mom's Meatloaf Recipe image

This is the best meatloaf, we always like to have extra glaze to serve with it at the table as well!

Provided by Connors Mama

Categories     Meat

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 Loaf, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs ground beef
1/2-1 cup onion, chopped
4 slices white bread, chopped in food processor
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup brown sugar
ketchup, enough to make paste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*.
  • In large bowl mix beef, chopped onions, bread and half of the milk with hands.
  • Slowly add the remainder of the milk if needed - too much will make the mixture to runny and it won't form the loaf.
  • Shape into loaf and place in a glass 8x8 or 9x13 baking dish, I add just a little water to the bottom of the pan.
  • Bake at 350* for 45 min, cover the top of the loaf with the glaze and finish baking for 15-20 min longer.
  • Let the loaf sit 10-15 min before slicing.

MOM'S MEATLOAF....... REALLY!!!



Mom's Meatloaf....... Really!!! image

This REALLY is my Mom's meatloaf recipe!!! I remember helping make this as a child, and hearing Mom say, "keep squeezing"!! When it was "squeezed" enough, we plopped it into an old glass casserole dish, and put it in the oven. This recipe is good for folks who can't have, or don't like, the chunks of peppers and onions that you find in most meatloaf. We even served it, listed on the menu as "Mom's Meatloaf", at my brother's restaurant. Our customers loved it! Simple AND tasty!

Categories     Grains

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 large meatloaf, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 lbs hamburger
3 -4 eggs, depending on size
2 packets lipton onion soup mix
3 cups oatmeal, not instant

Steps:

  • Empty soup mix packets into a small bowl and add 1/2 to 3/4 cup WARM water, stir with fork until well dissolved.
  • Set aside.
  • Place hamburger in large bowl.
  • Add eggs.
  • Work eggs into hamburger with your hands, squeezing handsful until eggs are well mixed with the hamburger.
  • The more you work the mixture, the better the meatloaf texture.
  • Add oatmeal and continue working the mixture until the oatmeal is mixed evenly throughout.
  • Pour the set aside soup mix over hamburger mixture, and again, work through with your hands.
  • Place mixture in baking dish of your choice, and form into a loaf.
  • Cover with lid or foil.
  • Bake at 350*, BASTING OFTEN, until done.
  • Bake covered for at least 1 hour.
  • Check if done by slicing down the middle, if there is no pink meat, it's done.
  • Note: If baking in a metal pan or roaster, grease the pan-- or the bottom of the meatloaf will, as Mom says,"get like shoe leather"!

Nutrition Facts : Calories 629.5, Fat 30.9, SaturatedFat 11.1, Cholesterol 245.2, Sodium 389.2, Carbohydrate 29.2, Fiber 4.3, Sugar 0.6, Protein 55.5

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground meat: A combination of ground beef and ground pork results in a moist and flavorful meatloaf. If you prefer a leaner option, use ground turkey or chicken.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can result in a tough meatloaf. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use fresh bread crumbs: Fresh bread crumbs will help to keep the meatloaf moist. If you don't have fresh bread crumbs, you can make your own by toasting bread and then crumbling it in a food processor.
  • Add some vegetables to the meatloaf mixture: Vegetables like chopped onions, carrots, or celery can add flavor and moisture to the meatloaf. You can also add some herbs or spices, such as garlic, thyme, or oregano.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf: Place the meatloaf mixture in a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. You can also form the meatloaf into individual meatballs if you prefer.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven: Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:
