SUZANNE RAFER'S SELF-GRAVYING MEATLOAF



Suzanne Rafer's Self-Gravying Meatloaf image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield Four to six servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds ground beef round
1 large egg, plus 1 egg white
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup ketchup
2 cups beef broth
1/4 cup whole mixed pickling spices, tied in cheesecloth
2 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the meat in a large mixing bowl. Flatten it slightly. Beat the egg and the egg white in a small bowl. Add the garlic, bread crumbs and salt and stir to combine. Pour the egg mixture over the meat, then use your hands to knead the mixture until it is well blended. Form the meat into a loaf shape, about 8 by 4 by 2 1/2 inches.
  • Heat the oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add the meatloaf and brown for 3 to 4 minutes. Gently turn to brown the other side, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Once browned, slide a spatula under the loaf to make sure it has not stuck to the bottom of the pan. If it has, loosen it and scrape up any bits of meat that are stuck.
  • Pour the ketchup over the top and down the sides of the meatloaf. Pour the broth around the meatloaf and stir with a fork to combine with the ketchup. Add the pickling spices and place 1 bay leaf on each side of the loaf. Bring the broth to a boil. Cover the pot and place it in the oven. Bake until the meat loaf is firm, about one hour.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the oven, remove the bay leaves and the spice bag, cool and refrigerate over night. About 40 minutes before serving, remove the meatloaf from the refrigerator, lift the layer of fat from the top of the gravy and place the pot, covered, over medium-low heat to warm, about 20 minutes. Add additional cold water if the gravy seems too skimpy. Serve in 1-inch slices with mashed potatoes.

SUSAN'S SWEET AND TANGY MEATLOAF

I snagged the basic recipe for this from AllRecipes.com but have changed it a great deal to suit my family's tastes. My husband is not a fan of meatloaf but BEGS for this one, as do my 2 and 4 year old. It's super easy and can be made early in the day and then just spread the sauce on top and bake. It's sweet, tangy and a bit spicy! I bet everyone will ask for seconds!

SWEET AND TANGY MEATLOAF RECIPE



Sweet and Tangy Meatloaf Recipe image

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef
1 cup plain bread crumbs
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup apricot preserves
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup apricot preserves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, brown sugar and apricot preserves.
  • Place in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • Cook for 40-50 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl combine ketchup, brown sugar and apricot preserves. Remove meatloaf from oven after it has cooked, spread on glaze and cook for an additional 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground meat: Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for a flavorful meatloaf. You can also use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a lot of flavor to meatloaf. Use a combination of your favorites, such as parsley, sage, thyme, rosemary, and garlic.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: Cooking the meatloaf at a low temperature will help it stay moist and juicy. Cook it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour per pound.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to tell if the meatloaf is done is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the center of the meatloaf and cook it until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and moist meatloaf that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give meatloaf a try!
