Anns Old Fashioned Meatloaf Recipes

THE BEST OLD FASHIONED MEATLOAF RECIPE YOU WILL EAT

Steps:

• First, in a large bowl combine eggs and milk then stir in breadcrumbs. Next add onion parsley, salt, sage, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Mix them together a few times then add in the beef and mix well. I suggest using your hands, and this is how I was taught, it mixes faster and better than using a spoon of any kind.
• Shape your meatloaf into a 'loaf' shape if not using a bread pan, though I suggest you do, or use the mini loaf pan I mentioned above. Then go ahead and bake in a 350-degree oven for 50 minutes. Then make sure to spoon off excess fat.
• Mix together the ketchup, sugar, and dry mustard, mix it well then spread over the top of the meatloaf.
• Then return to the oven for 10-15 minutes. This makes about six servings.

Steps:

• Saute vegetables in oil until carrots are soft.
• Add garlic and saute about 1-2 minutes longer.
• Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, and cooled vegetables.
• In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, thyme, parsley, Worcestershire sauce and catsup until combined.
• Pour egg mixture over beef and mix with hands, handling just enough to combine evenly.
• Do not overmix, or it will be too dry.
• Pat mixture gently into greased loaf pan, but do not press down too firmly.
• Pour 1/2 cup tomato sauce evenly over the top and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 1-1/4 hours.
• Place on a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes before serving.
• Cut into thick slices and serve warm or cold with extra tomato sauce, if desired.
• I use crushed, canned tomatoes sometimes and that is very good too.

OLD-FASHIONED, SIMPLE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Crumble ground beef into a bowl and salt and pepper it to taste.
• Add the diced onion, egg, 1/8 to 1/4 of a cup of the tomato sauce, and the saltine crackers. Start with a few saltines at a time and continue adding until you get the desired firm, but moist consistency.
• Getting it too firm will keep it from being moist.
• Form into a loaf, place in a baking dish with a lid, then top with enough tomato sauce to cover the top and sides of the loaf.
• Cover, and bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Baking time will vary depending on your oven.

ANNE ROSENZWEIG'S OLD-FASHIONED MEAT-AND-RICE LOAF WITH SPICED CARROTS

Steps:

• Blanch the carrots for 3 minutes to soften; drain but do not cool. Combine the chili oil, vinegar and curry powder. Toss the warm carrots in this mixture and marinate for 2 hours. Drain and set aside.
• To make the meatloaf, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the onion, garlic and fresh ginger in a food processor and puree. Warm the butter over medium-high heat and saute the onion mixture until soft, about 5 minutes, stirring to avoid sticking. Remove from the heat and cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the sauteed vegetables with the veal, sirloin, rice, egg, pistachio nuts and salt and pepper by hand, taking care to mush the meat as little as possible.
• Place half this mixture in a nonstick loaf pan. Top with an even layer of marinated carrots and then the rest of the meat. Press to make a solid loaf and bake for 1 hour. Allow to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before slicing and serving with steamed rice or couscous.
