MEATLOAF WITH A RANCH TWIST



Meatloaf with a Ranch Twist image

I wanted a different twist to my meatloaf, so I added a package of dry Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix. Instead of using ketchup for the sauce, I use V8 to add a different taste. Use the spicy if you want more of a kick to your sauce. My kids went back for seconds when normally I have to beg them to just eat meatloaf.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Meatloaf Recipes     Beef Meatloaf Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup vegetable juice (such as V8®)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup Italian-seasoned dry bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
½ cup fat-free milk

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.

Categories     Beef     Bake     Dinner     Casserole/Gratin

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup ketchup
3/4 cup herb-seasoned dry bread stuffing mix
1/2 (1 ounce) package dry Ranch-style
dressing mix
1 (6 ounce) can French-fried onions

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 2. In a large bowl, combine meat, eggs, ketchup, stuffing mix, ranch dressing mix and fried onions. 3. Shape into loaf and fit into 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. 4. Bake, covered loosely with foil, at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 50 to 60 minutes, or until meat is thoroughly cooked.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: Use a blend of 80% lean and 20% fat ground beef for a moist and flavorful meatloaf. Avoid using ground beef that is too lean, as it will result in a dry meatloaf.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Always use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Don't be afraid to season the meatloaf liberally. Use a variety of herbs and spices to create a flavorful blend.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf will result in a tough texture. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape: Use your hands to form the meatloaf into a loaf shape. Make sure the meatloaf is evenly shaped so that it cooks evenly.
  • Bake the meatloaf at the right temperature: Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the meatloaf to retain its juices.
