Sunnys Meat And Potatoes Bundt Loaf Recipes

MEATLOAF IS THE WAY TO MY HEART AS LONG AS IT HAS KICK AND POTATOES ARE AROUND

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the spicy ketchup sauce: Add the ketchup, vinegar and hot chili sauce to a bowl and stir. Reserve 1/2 cup for the meatloaf.
• For the meatloaf: In a large bowl, whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, egg, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, thyme, onions, scallions and reserved spicy ketchup sauce. Crumble half the chuck into the bowl, followed by some bread, then half the turkey pile on some more bread cubes. Repeat with the other half of meat and remaining bread. (So a half pound of crumbled chuck, some bread, then a half pound of ground turkey, some bread and repeat until done. Adding this way will make mixing easier and lighter for a juicier loaf.) Gently mix with 1 hand, bringing the egg mixture from the bottom to the top and around until everything is gently combined. Place into a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan, flatten the top and pour the remaining spicy ketchup sauce over the top evenly. Bake in the oven for 60 minutes. Remove and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Tilt the loaf pan slowly to 1 corner and discard any excess fat or juices from the pan while holding the loaf inside. Don't worry, the meatloaf will still be juicy! Slice into 1-inch thick portions. Serve warm and if there's anything left, refrigerate it and enjoy a meatloaf sandwich for leftovers the next day.

MY BUNDT MIXED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• preheat oven to 375°. Coat a 10" Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Chop your onion. Prep your backing sheet with foil.
• in a large bowl, combine beef, turkey, onion, garlic, bread crumbs/panko, milk, ½ cup ketchup, Worcestershire, eggs, salt and pepper; mix very well. Place in the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 40 minutes.
• remove from oven, drain off the excess juices and flip the meatloaf upside down onto a foil lined baking sheet. Important. Why? The high sides of a Bundt pan makes it hard for the meatloaf to brown properly and get crispy. How? Cover the Bundt pan with the cookie sheet upside down on top of it so the foil side is facing inwards. With oven mitts grab the top and bottom of both pans carefully and flip it over.
• mix ½ cup ketchup with ¼ cup brown sugar. Brush the meatloaf with sauce and bake for another 20 minutes.
• remove and let sit for 5 minutes; transfer to serving platter.

SUNNY'S MEAT AND POTATOES BUNDT LOAF

Steps:

• For the potatoes: In a large bowl of cold water, add the potato slices and rest at room temperature, draining, rinsing and changing the water halfway through, for 30 minutes.
• For the loaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the inside bottom and sides of a nonstick bundt pan with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, add the breadcrumbs, onion, pesto, ketchup, 2 teaspoons salt and plenty of black pepper. Stir to combine and whisk in the eggs. Add the meatloaf blend and gently mix to distribute the ingredients. Press the meatloaf into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 30 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Remove the bundt pan and, using a medium bowl or liquid measure cup, gently tilt the pan and drain out the juices, reserving 1/2 cup. Place the foil-lined baking sheet on top of the bundt and, holding them together, flip them to unmold the loaf onto the baking sheet. Turn the oven up to 375 degrees F.
• Drain, rinse and dry the potatoes on a paper towel-lined plate. Wipe out the bowl and place the potatoes back in along with the melted butter, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Gently mix to coat. Begin to layer the curved top of the loaf with the potato slices, overlapping them slightly around the loaf, covering the top and about one-third of the way down the side of the loaf all around. Return to the oven and continue to bake until the potatoes begin to curl and become slightly golden on the edges, about 30 minutes more. Rest 10 minutes, then transfer to a serving dish.
• For the glaze: In a medium saucepot on medium-high heat, add the 1/2 cup pan drippings, the ketchup, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer, lower the heat to medium and cook until the sauce thickens and reduces, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the hot sauce and stir in the parsley. Pour over the loaf and serve.
