Pantry Meatloaf Recipes

Steps:

• For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a half-sheet pan with cooking spray and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs, which will absorb the juices during cooking.
• Pour the milk over the bread in a bowl and allow it to soak up the milk. Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan, seasoned salt, parsley and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the eggs. With clean hands, mix the ingredients until well combined.
• Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared sheet pan, spreading all the way to the edges and corners.
• Next, make the glaze: Whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl until well combined. Brush the mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Sprinkle with the bacon.
• Bake until the meat is cooked through and slightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, then cut into squares and serve with the mashed potatoes. Garnish with the chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Make the meatloaf: Heat oven to 350 degrees and grease a rimmed baking sheet with oil. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste until well combined; let cool.
• In a large bowl, combine bread and milk, and mash with a spoon until a paste forms. Add eggs, parsley, salt, pepper, thyme and cooled onion mixture and mix until well blended. Add the beef, pork and veal, and mix gently to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat. Divide mixture into 2 equal portions and shape each into a 4-by-8-inch meatloaf on the prepared baking sheet.
• Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Use a spoon to spread mixture over the top and sides of each meatloaf. Bake until nicely browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of meatloaf registers 160 degrees, 45 to 55 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
