Meatloaf Twist Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine the vegetable juice, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan over medium heat; cook until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
• Mix the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, ranch dressing mix, sage, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Gradually sprinkle the bread crumbs into the meat while mixing so the crumbs are distributed evenly throughout; add the egg and milk and continue mixing. Shape the mixture into a loaf and transfer to a loaf pan. Pour about half the sauce over the meatloaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cut the meatloaf into 6 even slices. Pour the remaining sauce over the slices to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan. Add the onions, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not brown. Off the heat, add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste. Allow to cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, onion mixture, bread crumbs, and eggs, and mix lightly with a fork. Don't mash or the meat loaf will be dense. Shape the mixture into a rectangular loaf on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F and the meat loaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven, under the meat loaf, will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Combine bread and stock; let stand until liquid is absorbed. , Meanwhile, pulse mushrooms, onion, carrot, celery and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add mushroom mixture; cook and stir until vegetables are tender and liquid is evaporated, 5-6 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook 1 minute longer. Cool slightly., Add next 7 ingredients and cooked vegetables to bread mixture; mix thoroughly. Place a 12x7-in. piece of foil on a rack in a foil-lined rimmed baking pan. Transfer meat mixture to the foil and shape into a 10x6-in. loaf. , Bake 1 hour. Mix together glaze ingredients; spread over loaf. Bake until a thermometer reads 160°, about 15-25 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing., Freeze option: Shape meat loaf on a plastic wrap-lined baking sheet; wrap and freeze until firm. Remove from pan and wrap securely in foil; return to freezer. To use, unwrap meat loaf and bake as directed, increasing initial baking time to 2 hours. Mix together glaze ingredients; spread over loaf. Bake until a thermometer inserted in center reads 160°, 15-25 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Start out with a large mixing bowl.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Chop 1/2 onion and place in mixing bowl.
• Chop 1/2 green pepper and place in mixing bowl.
• Add ground round, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, French Onion Soup mix, egg into the mixing bowl.
• Mix well.
• Add 1/2 bottle of barbecue sauce to the mixture and mix well.
• Form the mixture into a square or loaf. (I usually form it to the pan I am using).
• Slice the remaining onion and green peppers and arrange on top of loaf.
• Pour 1/4 of the remaining barbecue sauce on the top of the loaf. (I usually make a letter "M" with the sauce--it makes it look pretty).
• Place in oven.
• Take it out of oven in 1/2 hour and pour the remainder of the barbecue sauce on top.
• Let cook for another 1/2 hour.
• Check for doneness.
• I like mine well done.
• Adjust cooking time to your liking.
• Serve immediately.
• Great with mashed potatoes and green beans.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix together all ingredients listed under"main loaf".
• Press out into a rectangle shape that is no wider than the loaf pan you will be using.
• Do this on a piece of wax paper.
• Lay ham slices and then swiss cheese on top of ground beef mixture.
• Roll meat loaf like a jelly roll (the ham and cheese will look like a swirl in center of the loaf- thus the name"with a twist").
• Place meat loaf in bread pan and cook for 1 hour or 165 degrees internal temperature.
• Let stand 10 minutes, slice and serve.
