Diner Meatloaf And Meatballs Mixture Recipes

DINER MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, break up the beef into small pieces, using a fork or spoon.
• Peel and finely chop the garlic. Peel the onion, and chop enough of the onion into small pieces to measure 3 tablespoons. Wrap remaining piece of onion, and refrigerate for another use. Add the garlic and onion to the beef.
• Tear the bread into small pieces and add to beef mixture.
• Add the milk, Worcestershire sauce, sage, salt, mustard, pepper and egg to the beef mixture. Mix with a fork, large spoon or your hands until the ingredients are well mixed.
• Place the beef mixture in an ungreased baking pan. Shape the mixture into an 8x4-inch loaf in the pan, then spread the ketchup over the top.
• Bake uncovered 50 to 60 minutes until meat and juices are no longer pink or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf reads 160°F and center of loaf is no longer pink*. Let the loaf stand 5 minutes so it will be easier to remove from the pan. Remove loaf from pan and cut into slices.

DINER MEATLOAF AND MEATBALLS MIXTURE

Steps:

• Combine onion, saltine crackers, salt, pepper, egg and milk.
• Add ground beef and mix to combine.
• At this point, you can shape into loaves, wrap in plastic wrap, place in freezer bag and freeze for later use.
• If using for meatballs, spread mixture out on plastic wrap in a flat square; put in freezer bag and freeze. I use defrost level in microwave to defrost 1 lb ground beef.
• For meatloaf, we simply pour a layer of ketchup over the loaf and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• For meatballs, shape into desired size; brown in fry pan with 1 tablespoon oil. Add meatballs to tomato/spaghetti sauce or chili sauce with grape jelly sauce.
• Variation: Feel free to add garlic powder or minced garlic and/or Parmesan cheese.
