Beer Cheddar Meatloaf Recipes

MEATLOAF WITH BEER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Combine ground beef, ground pork, ground veal, eggs, bread crumbs, pale ale, onion, 3 tablespoons ketchup, mustard, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; mix well. Transfer mixture to prepared baking sheet; shape into 10x5x2-inch loaf. Spread 1/3 cup ketchup on top of the loaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 60 to 65 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cool meatloaf 10 minutes before slicing.

GLAZED STOUT AND CHEDDAR MEATLOAF

Steps:

• 1. For the Glaze In a medium saucepan, bring the stout, brown sugar and honey to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until reduced by half, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool.
• 2. Heat 2 Tbs. of the oil in a 10- to 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the onion, carrots, celery, stirring frequently, until softened and just beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the stout and simmer briskly until almost dry, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool until just warm.
• 3. Soak the bread in milk until soggy but not falling apart. Lightly squeeze out some of the milk. Finely chop and add to the vegetable mixture.
• 4. In a small bowl, reconstitute the dried mushrooms by covering them with boiling water; allow to soak for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain the mushrooms and finely chop.
• 5. Add the beef, veal and eggs to the vegetable mixture. Scatter the cheddar, rehydrated mushrooms, parsley, salt and pepper over the meat, and then sprinkle with the Worcestershire sauce. Gently mix all the ingredients until just combined; try not to compact the mixture too much as you do this.
• 6. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, then a sheet of parchment paper. Transfer the meat mixture to the sheet and form into a 9x5-inch rectangular loaf. Drape the meatloaf with slightly overlapping strips of bacon, tucking the ends under the loaf. Brush the top of the meatloaf with half of the glaze. Save the rest for later.
• 7. Bake in 375 degree preheated oven for 50-55 minutes. If using a meat thermometer it should be at 160 degrees in the center of the meatloaf.
• 8. Remove the meatloaf from the center of the oven and place the oven rack 6 inches from the broiler element and preheat the broiler. Brush the remaining glaze over the meatloaf and broil until the bacon is browned and crisped, about 2-3 minutes, checking and rotating to make sure the glaze doesn't scorch. Transfer to a serving platter and let rest 10 minutes before cutting.

BEER & CHEDDAR MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Glaze: In a medium saucepan, bring the stout, brown sugar and honey to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until reduced by half, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool; set half the mixture aside. Reserve remaining glaze for another use. Meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350° F. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until softened and just beginning to brown, about 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the stout and simmer briskly until almost dry, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool until just warm. In the bowl of a food processor, add beef, lamb, and bread and process until well-combined, about 10 (1-second) pulses. Transfer meat mixture to bowl with cooled onions. Add eggs, cheese, mushrooms, parsley, Worcestershire, salt and pepper; mix with hands until thoroughly combined. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, then a sheet of parchment paper. Transfer the meat mixture to the sheet and form into a 9x5-inch rectangular loaf. Drape the meatloaf with slightly overlapping strips of bacon, tucking the ends under the loaf. Brush the top of the meatloaf with half of the glaze. Bake until an instant read thermometer registers 160° F in the center of the meatloaf, about 45-50 minutes. Remove the meatloaf from the oven. Place the oven rack 6 inches from the broiler element and preheat the broiler. Brush the remaining glaze over the meatloaf and broil until the bacon is browned and crisped, about 2-3 minutes, checking and rotating to make sure the glaze doesn't scorch. Using two large spatulas, carefully transfer the meatloaf to a cutting board and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes. Cut into 3/4 to 1-inch thick slices.

MEATLOAF WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• In a large bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, parsley, mustard, ketchup and bouillon and mix until well blended. Add the celery, onion and cheese and mix again. Add the ground beef, red pepper and bread crumbs and mix thoroughly.
• Shape the mixture into a loaf approximately 14 inches long and 3 inches high. Slide the loaf onto a jellyroll pan and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until brown and a crust forms on the outside.
• Remove from the oven and cut into thick slices.
