Perfect Meatloaf By Susan Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan or Perfect Meatloaf® pan.
• 2. Mix together the ground meat and everything else except the ketchup or barbecue sauce in a large bowl. Use your hands to blend well. Or, you can use a mixer. Form into a 9 x 5" loaf, and place into the prepared pan. Spread the ketchup or barbecue sauce over the top.
• 3. Bake uncovered for 60-70 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool 5 minutes. If using the Perfect Meatloaf® pan, lift out the meatloaf with the tray and place on serving platter. Allow to cool about 5 more minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, worcestershire, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper. Mix well and place into a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile. in a separate medium bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar and apricot preserves and pour over the meatloaf.
• Bake another 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion and garlic 5 minutes, until onion is tender. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper.
• In a large bowl, mix the onion and garlic, beef, crumbled bread, crushed crackers, egg, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 can tomato sauce. Gradually stir in the milk 1 teaspoon at a time until mixture is moist, but not soggy. Transfer the mixture to a 5x9 inch loaf pan.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated oven 40 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), and continue baking 15 minutes, to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, mix the remaining tomato sauce and ketchup. Pour over the top of the meatloaf, and continue baking 10 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Break the ground meat up into loose chunks. Mix in all the other ingredients well, but don't mix too hard, as it will make it too dense.
• 3. Form into a loaf shape in a pan that is about 1-2 inches bigger all the way around. Lining the pan with crinkled aluminum foil helps with the baking, and the cleanup. (Or, fill muffin cups with mixture.)
• 4. Bake: for whole loaf, 60-70 minutes. Use meat thermometer and cook to at least 165 degrees. For muffin tin, it only takes about 20 minutes.
• 5. Let cool slightly before slicing or removing from muffin pan.
• 6. If you want to top it with something, mix together 1-2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce and 1/2 cup ketchup and brush on during last 15 minutes of cooking.
