MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
• Trim each fennel bulb and chop into eight wedges, then place in a large roasting tray, drizzle with oil, season with sea salt and black pepper and roast for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel and dice the onions and carrots, place in a large pan with 1 tablespoon of oil on a medium-low heat and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Pick the herb leaves, finely chop half of them and add to the veg pan, saving the rest for later.
• Leave the veg to cool completely, then tear in the mozzarella and add the breadcrumbs, minced meat, mustard, eggs, and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Scrunch and mix well, then shape into a loaf.
• Make a space in the middle of the fennel tray and sit the meatloaf in the centre. Criss-cross the smoky bacon over the meatloaf, drizzle with a little oil, then cover the tray with tin foil.
• Roast for 30 minutes, then remove from the oven and discard the foil.
• Mix the chicken stock, jam and tomato purée together in a jug until smooth, then pour into the tray. Toss the reserved herbs with a little oil and scatter into the tray, then return to the oven for a final 45 minutes, or until cooked through.
• If the juices need thickening at this stage, simply put the tray on the hob to reduce for a few minutes, until they're the consistency of your liking, skimming away any fat from the surface, if needed.
• Serve the meatloaf, sweet fennel and juices with mash and seasonal greens.

CLASSIC MEATLOAF RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

VEGAN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Sauté the onion and garlic for about 2 minutes. Then add the chopped carrots and cook them for another 3 minutes.
• Put about 6 tablespoons of the cooked lentils aside. Put all of the ingredients except for the spices into a blender or food processor and blend until you have a sticky but chunky mixture. It's very important that you make sure to not overdo it, so the vegan meatloaf will still have some texture.
• Add the remaining lentils and season with thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley. Preheat your oven to 350 °F.
• Place the mixture into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Make sure to let the parchment paper overlap the loaf pan, so it's easier to remove the lentil loaf once it's done.
• Bake the vegan meatloaf for 30 minutes. In the meantime make the tomato glaze. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well.
• After the 30 minutes of baking time are over, take the vegan meatloaf out of the oven and evenly spread the tomato glaze on top. Then return it to the oven and bake it for another 15 minutes at 350 °F.
• Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then carefully lift it out with the parchment paper. Slice and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.

THE BEST MEATLOAF RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover the entire top and sides of a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil. See notes. Fill a baking sheet or sheet pan with water and place it on the very bottom shelve in the oven. *See notes.
• Add the vegetable oil to a medium skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, enough add the onions and cook until softened about 6-8 minutes. A minute before the onions are done, add the garlic.
• Cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Remove the onions and garlic from the skillet and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
• To a small bowl add the fresh breadcrumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth. Mix gently. Let the breadcrumbs soak for 5 minutes.
• To a bowl add the ketchup, pepper and brown sugar. Mix well. Reserve for later.
• Use a bowl big enough for the ground beef and breadcrumb mixture. Add the ground beef to the bowl with all the seasonings, salt, and pepper. Add the breadcrumb mixture, onions and garlic and gently mix.
• For an easy clean up (optional) place the loaf on the baking sheet lined with heavy-duty aluminum foil or line it with parchment paper. Shape the beef into a loaf. Pour only half of the brown sugar ketchup over the meatloaf. Put the meatloaf on the shelf right above the pan with water.
• Bake for 45-60 minutes or until the temperature on your meat thermometer reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit *See notes. Cover the meatloaf with the remaining ketchup glaze and serve with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Sharing is caring, so please share this recipe, so other people can enjoy it!

MOMS MEATLOAF RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• In a small bowl mix together 1/4 cup of the ketchup and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, mix together and set aside for later basting.
• Throw 1 pound of ground beef 80/20 fat content into a big bowl. Break up into chunks and salt and pepper. Just give the salt shaker a couple of good shakes, and a little more with the pepper. If you like garlic shake in a bit of garlic powder, NOT garlic salt.
• Dice up ½ a medium onion and toss into the bowl.
• Squirt in ketchup, probably about ¼ cup to start.
• Shake in Worcestershire sauce until it just smells right, about 1 tablespoon. It's a personal preference with the amount. If you really have no idea how much to use then give the bottle a couple of good shakes to start.
• In a small bowl, lightly beat two eggs and mix into the ground beef mixture
• Pour in a ½ cup of plain bread crumbs.
• Use a wooden spoon to get everything mixed up nicely. Compress into a big ball.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and plop the meatloaf onto the lined baking sheet and mold the meatloaf into a rectangle.
• Put the meatloaf into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes then baste with the ketchup Worcestershire sauce. Continue cooking for a total of 60 minutes. Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees to ensure it's fully cooked.
• I like a little crispy to the sides so I broil at the end for a couple of minutes. Watch it so you don't burn the top.
