Here's a lower-in-fat-and-salt take on my mother's original recipe. I substituted fresh ingredients like garlic, mushrooms and onions for dried onion soup mix and garlic powder, etc. It's still dense, hearty and tastes like home. -Brenda Moehringer, Gansevoort, New York

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.

This is the only meatloaf I ever liked! Seasoned with fresh onion,a touch of bell pepper, and glazed with a sweet ketchup sauce. For our small family, we cook one loaf and freeze the other to cook at a later time.

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.

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!
