Maple Drive Meatloaf Recipes

Steps:

• Chop 1/4 pound bacon; sauté until browned but not crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer cooked bacon to paper towels to drain. Add onion and garlic to pan. Cover, and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, eggs, dry mustard, salt, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, ground pepper and hot pepper sauce.
• In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, veal, cooked bacon, onion mixture and milk mixture. Using your hands, toss lightly to mix. Add saltines and parsley, and toss lightly again until thoroughly combined. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with foil; on it, form meat into a domed loaf about 5 inches by 12. Drape remaining strips of bacon lengthwise over loaf to completely cover.
• In a small bowl, combine maple syrup and Dijon mustard. Paint a thick coat over bacon. Bake uncovered, until a thermometer inserted into center registers 165 degrees, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. If desired, baste occasionally with remaining maple syrup mixture. Let meatloaf rest about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Combine apple, ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, worcestershire sauce and seasonings.
• Press into loaf pan.
• Combine topping ingredients and spoon over meatloaf.
• Bake at 325 for 1 1/4 hours.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350. In large bowl, dissolve beef bouillon in hot water. Add remaining meat loaf ingredients; mix well.
• Spoon mixture into ungreased 8x4-inch loaf pan or shape mixture into 8x4-inch loaf in ungreased 12x8-inch (2 quart) glass baking dish.
• Bake 1-1/4 hours or until beef is thoroughly cooked in center and meat thermometer reaches 160 degrees. Remove pan from oven.
• In small bowl, combine glaze ingredients. Brush top of meat loaf with glaze.
• Let stand, covered 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with remaining glaze.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a heavy skillet, then add the onion, scallions, carrots, celery and bell peppers. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Then add garlic and cook until the moisture from the vegetables has evaporated, about 5 minutes more. Set aside to cool; then cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, ketchup, half-and-half, cumin, nutmeg, cayenne, salt and pepper. Add the ground beef, sausage and bread crumbs. Then add the chilled vegetables and mix thoroughly with your hands, kneading for 5 minutes.
• Form the mixture into a loaf, approximately 12 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 2 1/2 inches high, on a baking sheet. Bake until cooked through (or 160 degrees F on a meat thermometer), about 1 hour. Let rest 20 minutes before slicing.
• Note: The passive work time also includes the 1 hour chilling time for the vegetables. The vegetables may be prepared ahead of time, in the morning or night before, chilled, and used later in order to save time when actually making the meatloaf.
