CHEF JOHN'S MEATBALL-INSPIRED MEATLOAF
The main point of this Italian meatball-inspired meatloaf is to show you what happens when you make meatloaf like your grandparents did. During the Great Depression, this type of dish was a popular strategy for stretching what little meat you had into as filling a meal as possible.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Heat olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion with a pinch of salt in hot oil and butter until onion is golden brown and soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove skillet from heat and cool onion mixture to room temperature.
- Place bread crumbs in a large bowl. Add milk and stir with a fork until combined. Let sit until all of the milk is absorbed into the breadcrumbs, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Combine ground chuck, cooled onion mixture, parsley, Parmesan cheese, eggs, 2 teaspoons salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Grab a handful of breadcrumbs and squeeze very gently to remove excess milk. Repeat with remaining breadcrumbs, transfer breadcrumbs to ground chuck mixture, and discard excess milk. Stir ground chuck mixture until evenly combined.
- Turn chuck mixture out into prepared baking dish, and shape meat into a 3x4x10-inch meatloaf. Pour tomato sauce over the loaf and into the bottom of the dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

MR. JOHN'S MEATLOAF
The chorizo sausage nestled in the center of the meatloaf really sets this dish apart. If you cannot find fresh chorizo, substitute any fresh, spicy sausage.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the onion, celery, pepper, spring onions, garlic, parsley, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaves. Cook over a gentle heat, stirring occasionally, for about 6 minutes. Add the evaporated milk and ketchup and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Discard the bay leaves. Preheat the oven to 350° F (180°F.) Place the beef and pork in a large bowl, add the eggs, breadcrumbs and vegetable mixture, and season. Place the mixture in an un-greased roasting dish and bake for 25 minutes. Raise the temperature 400°F and bake for a further 35-40 minutes. Serve from the roasting dish.
Tips:
- Use a variety of ground meats. Emeril's recipe calls for a combination of ground beef, pork, and veal, but you can use any combination of ground meats that you like. Just make sure that the total weight of the meat is 2 pounds.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing the meatloaf mixture will make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are well combined.
- Use a loaf pan that is the right size. The meatloaf mixture should fill the loaf pan about ⅔ full. If the loaf pan is too big, the meatloaf will be too thin and it will cook too quickly.
- Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the meatloaf and a juicy interior.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing it. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Emeril Lagasse's meatloaf recipe is a classic for a reason. It's easy to make, delicious, and versatile. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad. And leftovers make a great sandwich the next day. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give Emeril's meatloaf recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
