House of Blues' Cajun Meatloaf image

I got this recipe from the Orlando Sentinel under Thought You'd Never Ask - LOCAL RESTAURANT RECIPES - This dish is spicy and my favorite meatloaf. I have added notes to make this low carb. Very good leftovers too.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 ounces unsalted butter
1 1/2 ounces sliced green onions
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
2/3 cup chopped celery
2/3 cup chopped bell pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup ketchup (May use Low Carb Ketchup)
2 1/4 lbs ground beef
12 ounces ground pork (can omit pork and use 3 lbs hamburger meat)
4 eggs (3 eggs if Low Carb)
1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs (substitute pork rinds for Low Carb)
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Melt butter in large pan. Sauté onions, celery, bell peppers, garlic until tender. Stir in cream, ketchup. Cook 5 minutes. Cool. Combine with remaining ingredients. Fill pan with mixture, packing to make sure there are no air pockets. Bake 2 hours, or until internal temperature is 160°F Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes. Drain grease. Refrigerate 2 hours.
  • How to make gravy: Saute 1 1/2 pounds mushrooms, 10 ounces diced Spanish onions, 10 ounces diced bell peppers and 10 ounces diced celery in 1/4 cup hot vegetable oil until soft and mushrooms have released their liquid. Add 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 ounce Worcestershire sauce and 1 1/2 teaspoons chicken base. Turn off heat. Drizzle in 3 1/2 ounces flour ( Substitute 4 TBSP corn starch for low carb ) . Mix with whisk so that flour is well incorporated. Slowly mix in 48 ounces beef stock with whisk, making sure there are no lumps. Turn on heat. Bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally so gravy does not stick to pan. Simmer 15 minutes on low. Remove from heat. Cover meatloaf slices with gravy.

This was the worst meatloaf I've ever had. It was dry, tasteless, and the glaze was way too sweet.

This meatloaf was a little dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more moisture next time, maybe some extra ketchup or BBQ sauce.

This meatloaf was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll probably use less cayenne pepper next time.
