Default Your favorite meatloaf recipe

I'm pretty particular about meatloaf. Only found two recipes that I love and can't live without.

What are your recipes?

I posted a future trial recipe that's gone awol???
anyway, I said I was going to make a ground turkey loaf, with stuffing in the middle, that will taste like a turkey dinner. You could even serve cranberry with it, and the leftovers would make tasty sandwiches. What do you think? I'll report back after I try it.......K-chef.

To make truly spectacular meatloaf you must do two things:

1) Grind your own meat. With a meat grinder, not a food processor or some other gadget. A real meat grinder.

2) Mix in your ingredients with your hands, and keep everything nice a cold. Don't compress it, just fluff the meat and ingredients together. If you are using bread crumbs make sure they are fresh and homemade. And don't be shy with the heat. Chipotles are great in meat loaf.

Tonight I ground up a chuck roast and an equal amount of sirloin steak and made three hamburgers (there were three of us eating.) If you haven't had a hamburger using meat you ground yourself 10 minutes before cooking, well, you haven't had a hamburger. I have three pounds of ground beef that is going to be turned into a meatloaf for tomorrow's dinner. Can't wait.

½ cup white wine
1 cup finely chopped white onion
½ cup finely chopped green bell pepper
½ cup grated carrot
1 lb ground sirloin or ground turkey
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
½ cup uncooked old fashioned oatmeal
¼ cup grate Parmesan
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp red pepper flakes
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 large eggs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup chicken broth
Vegetable oil cooking spray

Preheat oven to 375°F. Pour wine into a med skillet and cook onion, pepper, and carrot over low to med heat for 15 min. In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Spoon in vegetables and liquid from skillet. Coat a 9" x 13" baking pan (or bread-loaf pan) with cooking spray, then fill with mixture. Bake 1 hour; let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

Meat: 230 cal, 8.5 g fat (3.5 g sat), 18 g carb, 3.5 g fiber, 19.5 g protein

Most of the time I like to just put the loaf on a sheet pan instead of a loaf pan. I find that it makes for a better "crust" on the outside.

I also mix ketchup and Worcestershire sauce to make a topping.

Not yet but I will definitely try it. I have a lot of experimenting to do with my new grinder/snausage maker.

In my restaurant we used to mix in one third lean ground pork into our hamburger mix, ....very tasty.
However one guy whined about it because he was Jewish! He was PO'd because we didn't list it on the menu. Some people's kids!

I'm Jewish and IMHO there's nothing better than a good ham sandwich.

Some people need to get over themselves. It ain't like his life has no meaning because he took a bite of pork.

Oh, man. I may have found a new recipe to try. That sounds spectacular.

Nice. I take it it's more capable than the attachment you plug into the front of a Kitchenaid mixer?

I have a Kitchenaid mixer and considered just getting that attachment but read that many people thought it didn't do that great of a job as it heats up quicker than you'd like. With this machine I can put the aluminum hopper and auger into the freezer for a bit to really cool it down. You can easily then grind 10 lbs or more with no problems. And it's really not all that expensive.

My ultimate goal is to make some quality fermented sausages. I'm working up to that.
