Diner Special Meatloaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 120 degrees C (about 250 degrees F).
• Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add oil. Saute carrots, shallots, mushrooms and garlic until they become soft around the edges, about 2 minutes, then add paprika, nutmeg and 4 grams salt. Cook for 30 seconds, then add BBQ sauce and Worcestershire. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Meanwhile, mix cream, eggs and remaining 14 grams salt in a bowl until they are a uniform color. Add the bread and allow to soak for around 15 minutes, then blend in a blender (it can still be a bit chunky, but not large pieces). Mix in the meats, then the veg until it looks uniform and is slightly tacky when touched. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and put mixture into the pan. Bang it on the counter a couple times to ensure that it makes it to the corners. Bake until its internal temperature registers 70 degrees C (about 160 degrees F) on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Can be served immediately, but for best results allow to cool overnight, then slice and reheat slices in a pan with a little oil.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, break up the beef into small pieces, using a fork or spoon.
• Peel and finely chop the garlic. Peel the onion, and chop enough of the onion into small pieces to measure 3 tablespoons. Wrap remaining piece of onion, and refrigerate for another use. Add the garlic and onion to the beef.
• Tear the bread into small pieces and add to beef mixture.
• Add the milk, Worcestershire sauce, sage, salt, mustard, pepper and egg to the beef mixture. Mix with a fork, large spoon or your hands until the ingredients are well mixed.
• Place the beef mixture in an ungreased baking pan. Shape the mixture into an 8x4-inch loaf in the pan, then spread the ketchup over the top.
• Bake uncovered 50 to 60 minutes until meat and juices are no longer pink or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf reads 160°F and center of loaf is no longer pink*. Let the loaf stand 5 minutes so it will be easier to remove from the pan. Remove loaf from pan and cut into slices.
