Tavern On The Greens Meatloaf Recipes

YES, VIRGINIA THERE IS A GREAT MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Meatloaf: Combine meat loaf ingredients and place into a loaf baking dish.
• Smooth out top.
• Sauce: Combine sauce ingredients and pour on top and sides of meatloaf.
• Bake at 350°F about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until done.
• ENJOY!
• *The addition of 1 or 2 teaspoons of Kitchen Bouquet® makes this recipe very good.
• **Recipe should be"plump" from the addition of the milk or Half & Half.
• It should NOT be runny.
• ***A second batch of sauce served hot is good to serve with the meatloaf.
• Nita's Note: I note that some of you are using game meat such as deer -- Deer is a very DRY meat. It is wise to HAVE some fat added to the deer -- especially to ground deer. Maybe 25 % fat, ( I recommend 1 lb of ground venison, and 1/2 lb of deer sausage for fat content), otherwise your results will be poor. I don't know about some of the other game meat some are using. Please consult an expert. The recipe is delicious as it stands! Enjoy! Nita Holleman.

TAVERN ON THE GREEN'S MEATLOAF

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and milk.
• Add the torn bread and let it absorb the liquid for about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook bacon (very crispy but not burnt) until most but not all of the fat is rendered. Drain and set aside to cool.
• Stir the bread mixture with a fork to blend.
• Add the remaining meatloaf ingredients, including the drained bacon, but not the beef, and mix thoroughly.
• Fold in the beef and mix to incorporate throughout, being careful to avoid mashing or overhandling the meat.
• Cover bowl and refrigerate overnight.
• When ready to cook, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Remove bowl from the refrigerator and shape meat into a loaf approximately 5 inches long and 3 inches high.
• Place in the middle of a low-sided baking pan and bake for 35 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk glaze ingredients together.
• Brush meatloaf with glaze and bake for another 20 minutes.
• Remove meat loaf from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

MEATLOAF - 1770 HOUSE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350F 1. Place every item except the onion and celery in a large mixing bowl. 2. Heat a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat and film it with extra virgin olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the celery and onion to the pan and cook, stirring, until softened. Remove the celery and onion from the pan and let cool. When the mixture is cool, add it to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients. 3. By hand, mix the ingredients until well combined and everything is evenly distributed. 4. Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking pan (it should have sides at least 1.5 inches high to prevent grease runoff from the pan). Free form the meat loaf on the pan into a rectangular cylinder. Pat it and punch it down and reform into a cylinder-this will get rid of air pockets. 5. Place the pan in the pre-heated 350F degree oven and bake 40 to 50 minutes or until a probe thermometer indicates an internal temperature of 155-160 degrees. 6. Remove from the oven and let the loaf rest for 10 minutes. Slice into portions of your preference and serve with potato puree and sautéed spinach. Sauce: Combine all of the ingredients and cook over medium high heat until lightly thickened. Spoon the sauce over the meat loaf.
