This meatloaf recipe is very flavorful, and as the proverbial description goes, 'melts in your mouth.' As far as vegetables, I only used onions, but their sweetness, along with the simple brown sugar glaze, were a great counterpoint to the others flavors.

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, diced
2 ½ pounds ground chuck
1 cup dry bread crumbs
¾ cup buttermilk
½ cup ketchup
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon hot sauce
½ teaspoon dried tarragon
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot butter until soft and translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  • Combine cooled onion, beef chuck, bread crumbs, buttermilk, ketchup, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, hot sauce, tarragon, and Italian seasoning in a bowl; mix together with a fork and let sit until breadcrumbs absorb moisture, about 10 minutes.
  • Turn meatloaf mixture out into the center of the prepared baking sheet and form into a 9x5-inch loaf.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. While meatloaf is baking, whisk brown sugar, mustard, and cider vinegar together in a small bowl. Spread brown sugar glaze over the top of the meatloaf and continue baking until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

BUTTERMILK MEAT LOAF



Buttermilk Meat Loaf image

Barbecue sauce is a Southwestern staple, so I use it in meat loaf instead of ketchup. The buttermilk and garlic also lend a tangy flavor. Whenever I serve this, it gets rave reviews, even from those who don't ordinarily care for meat loaf.

SAVORY MEATLOAF

Got this out of a Betty Crocker book. It is a very good meatloaf. My husband loves it. Give it a try and let me know what you think. Personally, I don't like to bite into hard onions so I sautee my onions before putting them into the mixture. Hope that is a good tip for you.

KNOCK-YOUR-PANTS-OFF SWEET & SPICY GLAZED BUTTERMILK MEATLOAF RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Knock-Your-Pants-Off Sweet & Spicy Glazed Buttermilk Meatloaf Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by kimvess

Number Of Ingredients 18

GLAZE:
1 cup ketchup
1 cup barbeque sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
MEATLOAF:
1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
1 cup whole-fat buttermilk
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup small-diced onion
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons. tomato paste
1 1/2 pounds ground beef (85% lean-15% fat)
1/2 pound ground pork
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Combine the glaze ingredients, ketchup, barbecue sauce and brown sugar in a small saucepan and place over low heat. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until soft and translucent. Add parsley, basil, and tomato paste and cook for about a minute. Set aside to cool. In a small bowl, combine Panko and buttermilk and set aside for 5 minutes. Then in a large bowl, place beef, pork, cheese, salt and pepper, the onion mixture, and the panko mixture. Mix with your hands until just combined. On a rimmed baking pan, form the mixture into a loaf shape sitting in the center of the pan, with all four sides exposed. Brush sides and top with some glaze, then bake for about 50 minutes, removing the pan every 10 minutes or so to brush on more glaze. (At the end of baking, you will not have used all of the glaze mixture - just keep it in the saucepan on low and stir it every few minutes.) Cool for 5 minutes, slice, and serve hot with leftover glaze as sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your meatloaf.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
  • Use a loaf pan that is the right size for the amount of meatloaf mixture you have. A loaf pan that is too small will cause the meatloaf to overflow, while a loaf pan that is too large will make the meatloaf too thin.
  • Bake the meatloaf at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. This will ensure that the meatloaf is cooked through but not overcooked.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the meatloaf to hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its moist, flavorful texture and tangy glaze, this meatloaf is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give buttermilk meatloaf a try!
