Beefy Meatloaf Recipes

MEATLOAF RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Oil or spray a loaf tin. (Note 3)
• Glaze: Mix together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Meatloaf: Place breadcrumbs in a very large bowl. Grate over onion. Mix so the breadcrumbs are all wet. (Note 4)
• Add remaining ingredients. Mix well using your hands. Form into a loaf shape, pinching together then smoothing over creases and cracks (helps prevent cracks during baking).
• Transfer into loaf tin. Brush generously with glaze, using about 1/2.
• Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with most of the remaining glaze. If there is excess fat pooling, scoop/pour it off.
• Bake for a further 30 minutes. Remove from oven.
• Stand for 10 minutes before turning out and cutting into thick slices. You will probably get a bit of crumbling just on the edges of the first couple of slices, this is normal and indicative of the tenderness of the meatloaf (zero crumble indicates firm packed harder meatloaf which isn't as enjoyable!).
• Ideal served with a dollop of ketchup, creamy mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.

• Place on upper oven rack in 350°F oven. Bake 45 to 55 minutes, until instant-read thermometer inserted into center registers 160°F; brush with remaining 1/4 cup ketchup during last 10 minutes, if desired. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut into slices.

BEYOND MEAT® CLASSIC VEGAN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375º F.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Add the onion and sauté until translucent. Add the bell pepper and garlic and continue to sauté until all are golden.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the skillet mixture with all the remaining ingredients (other than the optional glaze topping). Work together thoroughly with a large spoon or clean hands.
• Transfer the mixture to an oiled 9-by-5-by 3-inch loaf pan (metal is preferable, though ceramic works, too. Glass is less desirable) and pat in. If you think your loaf pan will be sticky, line the bottom with a fitting piece of parchment. Or, if you want to be able to easily lift the loaf out of the pan, cut a piece of parchment to fit the bottom, sides, and enough to make "wings" on the side of the pan.
• Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
• If you're using the optional glaze, combine the ingredients in a small bowl and stir together. After the initial 45 minutes of baking time, spread evenly on top of the loaf.
• Whether or not you're using the glaze, bake for 20 minutes longer, uncovered, or until the loaf looks firm and you can see browning around the edges (keep an eye out; you don't want it to burn!.
• Remove from the oven and let the loaf stand, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes. Loosen the loaf around the edges with a knife. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 to 10 slices. Or if you've made parchment "wings," carefully lift out of the pan and set on an oblong serving plate before cutting.
