GRANDMA'S FAMOUS MEATLOAF WITH SALTINES

Steps:

• Mix all together; I generally use my hands.
• Form mixture into a loaf shape.
• Put in a baking dish (I use a pie plate).
• Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
• NOTE: I always put a little water in my pan. I've never done it any other way, so I don't know what would result if you don't.

GRANNY'S CLASSIC MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven or grill to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up.
• Melt butter in saute pan over medium heat. Cook onions until fragrant and slightly brown while stirring occasionally, about 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add garlic, cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• In large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt and cooked onions and garlic. Use hands to mix well, but try not to over work the meat. Shape into loaf on parchment lined baking sheet. Use sharp knife to cut a criss cross pattern on top.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated oven 40 minutes. While meatloaf is cooking, combine ketchup with mustard and brown sugar in a bowl. Set aside.
• After 40 minutes of cooking, spread ketchup mixture over the top of the meatloaf and continue baking for about 30-35 minutes to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

GRANDMA'S MEATLOAF

Steps:

• 1. Chef's Note: Homemade Ketchup When I talk about using ketchup in this recipe, I would really hope you choose a homemade variety. Otherwise you are making a condiment out of a condiment. Besides, store-bought ketchup has things in it, other than ketchup. Go homemade... if you can. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/versatile-homemade-ketchup.html?r=1
• 2. Shred one of the onion halves using the large holes of a box grater.
• 3. Using a few paper towels, press against the grated onion, to absorb most of the onion juice, and reserve the onions.
• 4. Thinly slice the other onion half, and reserve.
• 5. Mix the 1/2-cup ketchup. 1/4-cup brown sugar, and the Worcestershire, in a small bowl, and reserve.
• 6. In a large bowl, combine the ground sirloin, breadcrumbs, mustard, sweet relish, whole milk, shredded onion, egg and 4 tablespoons of ketchup. Mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
• 7. Chef's Note: The best tools of the chef are his/her hands... mix with your hands, but don't over do it.
• 8. Chef's Tip: Why Panko Breadcrumbs? Traditional breadcrumbs, unless you're making a panade, will absorb too much of the liquid and make for a much dryer meatloaf. Panko breadcrumbs will not absorb much liquid, and therefore create a juicer meatloaf with a distinct mouthfeel.
• 9. Place the meatloaf mixture into a loaf-size pan.
• 10. Chef's Tip: My favorite pan for this type of baking is the type that has the insert that raises the meatloaf off the bottom of the pan. This keeps the meatloaf from cooking in its own grease.
• 11. In a skillet, add the 1-tablespoon of oil, and heat over medium high heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the sliced onions, and the 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
• 12. Cook onions until softened, and just beginning to brown, about 5 to 8 minutes.
• 13. Place rack in bottom third of oven, and preheat to 355f (180c).
• 14. Spread the ketchup/brown sugar/ Worcestershire mix evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
• 15. Add the cooked onions to the top, and cover the pan with a sheet of aluminum foil.
• 16. Bake for 35 minutes, in the preheated oven, and then remove the foil.
• 17. Increase the temperature to 375f (190c), and bake an additional 25 minutes.
• 18. Chef's Note: The internal temperature of the meatloaf should be 155f (68c). Once removed from the oven, and allowed to rest, the internal temperature will raise to 160f (71c), which is safe for beef products. If you allow the temperature to rise much above this recommendation, it will begin to dry out the meatloaf.
• 19. Serving Tip: To make this dish even homier, I like to serve it with some rustic smashed potatoes, and maybe some green beans... enjoy.
• 20. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

GRANDMA'S OLD FASHIONED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F, rack in the middle. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray. In a large bowl add the oats and milk and gently mix. Set aside for 15 minutes to allow the oats to soak in the milk.
• After 15 minutes strain out the milk into a separate container but do not discard. *If there is no milk left, it's OK. Some brands of oats suck up all the milk while others do not.
• In the bowl the oats are in, add the ground beef, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, steak seasoning, garlic, onions, ketchup, and 3 tablespoon of tomato soup.
• Just combine but try not to overwork it as it will get tough. If the mixture is too wet, add in 1-2 more tablespoon of oats (don't worry if they aren't soaked). If too dry, add in the milk 1-2 tablespoon at a time. If you have no milk left as your oats sucked it all up just add more milk or water. You want the mixture to be pretty moist but firm enough to hold a shape.
• In the bowl gently press together.
• Transfer the mixture to the baking sheet and using your hands, form a loaf that is about 12 inches long, 6 inches wide, and about 2 1/2 inches tall. The loaf should be smooth and have rounded edges. This will help the loaf stay together when serving.
• Bake for 30 minutes, remove from the oven, and spread the remaining tomato soup on top of the meatloaf.
• Continue baking for another 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Pull out and spread 1/4 cup more ketchup on top and let cook ten more minutes. Slice and serve..
