BONNIE'S STOVETOP MEAT LOAVES

I got this recipe years ago out of a magazine from a cook named Emily. Best find ever! Out of the four meat loaves I make, this is my husband's favorite. These simple meat loaves are cooked on top of the stove in a tomato gravy that is absolutely divine. It is so easy to prepare, too. The leftovers freeze well, or you can heat...

Number Of Ingredients 15

***********meat**********
3 tablespoons 2% milk
2 tablespoons quick cooking oats
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 pound lean ground beef
3 tablespoons of water
************sauce***********
1/2 cup of italian tomato sauce
1 teaspoon of cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
( if you do not have italian tomato sauce, put a little basil and oregano in a can of regular tomato sauce)
OPTIONAL:
sometimes, we enjoy adding a can of drained mushrooms to the tomato gravy.

Steps:

  • 1. In a small mixing bowl combine the milk, oats, onion, salt, pepper and 3 tablespoons of water. Crumble the beef over the mixture and mix well to combine. Shape into 2 loaves.
  • 2. In a small nonstick skillet, brown the loaves on both sides, remove from pan and drain. This is where I wipe my pan out with a paper towel to get as much grease out as possible. Put the loaves back in the pan.
  • 3. Combine the cornstarch in the water in a small bowl and whisk until smooth, add the tomato sauce, whisk again. Pour sauce mixture over the meat loaves in the pan.
  • 4. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 20 minutes or when your meat thermometer says they are done or no longer pink. Baste three or four times during the cooking time. I like to use a glass lid so I can see when they need basting. They will actually glaze like they do in the oven! The tomato "gravy" is divine, pour it over the loaves when you serve it.

  • 6. Cook's note: You can use turkey in this recipe. If you do, add 1 teaspoon of chicken granules to each 1/2 pound of ground turkey. Omit the salt.

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat: Use a combination of ground beef and pork for a classic meatloaf. You can also use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Mix in some vegetables: Adding vegetables to your meatloaf is a great way to sneak in some extra nutrients. Try adding grated carrots, zucchini, or onions.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: A good sauce can really make your meatloaf sing. Try using a combination of ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard.
  • Cook your meatloaf on a bed of vegetables: This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful. You can use any vegetables you like, but onions, carrots, and celery are a good option.
  • Let your meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, resulting in a more tender and flavorful loaf.

Conclusion:

Stovetop meatloaf is a quick and easy way to enjoy a classic comfort food. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful meatloaf that your family and friends will love. Enjoy your delicious homemade stovetop meatloaf!
