MEATLOAF THAT DOESN'T CRUMBLE
I have tried and tried meatloaf recipes they all fall apart before you get them out of the pan. This meatloaf is very good and sticks together to be served. Leftover meatloaf makes wonderful sandwiches with mayonnaise.

MEATLOAF-HATERS MEATLOAF
I hate meatloaf - DH loves it. I came up with this, modifying a recipe for meatballs, and we both love it. It doesn't have a sauce because it doesn't need it. It's wonderful on it's own. We like to roast carrots with it, and serve it with mashed potatoes and biscuits.

THE "I DON'T LIKE MEATLOAF" MEATLOAF
This meatloaf is really good. The sausage gives it an added kick, and I've served it to several people and received "I don't like meatloaf, BUT..." responses.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl- mix together well (using hands, as gross as it may be).
- Mold mixture into a"loaf", place into 8x11 baking dish (I try to make sure the meatloaf doesn't touch the sides, it makes for easier cleanup).
- Spread more ketchup on the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake at 350 for 50 minutes to an hour.
- My favorite sides to go with this are mashed potatoes and green beans.
- You can be creative with this recipe- use spicy sausage if you like spicy; sage if you like that taste, etc You can also add chopped onions, green peppers, or salsa- I don't, but only because my kids won't eat it.
- (Bonus: if your kids are veggie haters like mine- they never even notice the mushrooms).
"BETTER THAN BEEF" MEATLESS MEATLOAF
Thanks to caramelized brown onions, there's some real magic going on in this meatless meatloaf! Despite having no beef in it, it's super savory with a meaty texture and flavor. With just enough binder to keep it together, it's slightly crumbly, but still melt-in-your-mouth tender and moist. Serve with mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Very generously grease a loaf pan.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add mushrooms and 1 teaspoon kosher salt and sauté until nicely browned and juices have evaporated, about 10 minutes. Stir in onion and cook until soft, another 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add celery, tomato paste, and beef base; cook and stir until tomato paste begins to toast on the bottom of the pan, about 3 minutes. Stir in water and turn off the heat; let sit for about 3 minutes.
- Transfer mushroom mixture into a food processor. Add cooked lentils and pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl and add eggs, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, thyme, cayenne, ketchup, bread crumbs, oats, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer mixture into the prepared loaf pan, then wrap with foil and place on a sheet pan.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven until firm to the touch, about 1 hour.
- Remove the loaf from the oven and place on a wire rack. Remove the foil and place it on the baking sheet. Grease the foil with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Let the loaf sit for 10 to 15 minutes, and increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- While the loaf is resting, make the glaze: Whisk ketchup, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar together in a small bowl.
- Invert the loaf onto the foil and spread glaze all over the surface, mostly on the top but some on the sides.
- Return to the oven and bake until the glaze is cooked on, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the loaf onto a cutting board. Cut into 6 slices and serve.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ground beef: The quality of the ground beef will greatly impact the taste of your meatloaf. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean, and make sure it is fresh.
- Don't overwork the meat: Overworking the meat will make it tough. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined.
- Add some moisture: Meatloaf can be dry, so it's important to add some moisture. This can be done by adding eggs, milk, or broth to the mixture.
- Season the meatloaf well: Don't be afraid to season the meatloaf well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a flavorful loaf.
- Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: Cooking the meatloaf at a low temperature will help to prevent it from drying out. Cook the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf and prevent it from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful meatloaf that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
