Rational Meatloaf Recipes

THE BEST OLD FASHIONED MEATLOAF RECIPE YOU WILL EAT

Steps:

• First, in a large bowl combine eggs and milk then stir in breadcrumbs. Next add onion parsley, salt, sage, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Mix them together a few times then add in the beef and mix well. I suggest using your hands, and this is how I was taught, it mixes faster and better than using a spoon of any kind.
• Shape your meatloaf into a 'loaf' shape if not using a bread pan, though I suggest you do, or use the mini loaf pan I mentioned above. Then go ahead and bake in a 350-degree oven for 50 minutes. Then make sure to spoon off excess fat.
• Mix together the ketchup, sugar, and dry mustard, mix it well then spread over the top of the meatloaf.
• Then return to the oven for 10-15 minutes. This makes about six servings.

CLASSIC MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Combine the meatloaf mix, breadcrumbs, parsley, eggs, onion, garlic, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, 1 tablespoon of the Worcestershire, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large mixing bowl. Using your hands, mix together until well combined.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and form it into a compact oval-shaped loaf about 9 inches by 5 inches. Bake the meatloaf for 30 minutes.
• Stir the brown sugar together with the remaining 1/4 cup ketchup and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire in a small bowl for the glaze. Brush the top and sides of the meatloaf all over with the glaze. Return to the oven and bake until the glaze starts to caramelize and a thermometer inserted in the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

RATIONAL MEATLOAF

Steps:

• First, move your oven rack to the middle position and preheat your oven to 400°F.
• Next, combine bread crumbs, Adobo, seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and pecorino-romano cheese (be sure to pack it tight into those tablespoons, now!) in a medium mixing bowl. If you would like a little bit of color in your meatloaf, finely mince a bit of parsley and add that as well. Stir with a fork or whisk in order to get everything evenly distributed, and set the mixture aside.
• Drop the egg into a small bowl and beat it just until the yolk is broken up a bit. Set this aside as well.
• Now, dispense the ground beef (in small clumps) into a large bowl. Add to this your red wine, 2 tablespoons of ketchup (actually two "squeezes"; it may be closer to 2 teaspoons -- my eye for these things is terrible), Worcestershire sauce, milk, your bowl of dry ingredients, and your slightly beaten egg. Mix it all together with your hands until everything is evenly distributed. Try not to over-mix; doing so will yield a tough meatloaf!
• Place the mixture into a bread pan and shape into a loaf. Lastly, spread on just enough ketchup (the aforementioned 1 tablespoon) to thinly (and I do mean thinly!) cover the top.
• Bake for forty minutes (at 400°F) and let sit for five minutes afterwards. Serve and enjoy!
