Southern Glazed Meatloaf With Rosemary Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• Oven@ 400 Combine meatloaf ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
• Shape meatloaf mixture into a loaf.
• Place in a baking dish which has been sprayed with non-stick spray.
• Drape the bacon slices over the meatloaf length-wise.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350.
• Bake for an additional 40 minutes.
• *I use a meat thermometer. The meat should reach at least 160 degrees.*
• Combine Southern Glaze ingredients.
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven.
• Using a pastry or a bbq brush, brush the glaze over and around the sides of the meatloaf.
• Return meatloaf to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
• In a small sauce pan, combine Rosemary Gravy ingredients.
• Heat on medium heat until hot.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs slightly with a fork.
• Add water and oatmeal and let stand until liquid is absorbed (about 5 minutes) Stir in remaining ingredients, except meat; mix well.
• Add meat, using your hands or a sturdy spoon and mix until well blended.
• Shape into a loaf in your baking pan.
• Make an indentation (trough) down center of loaf and fill with ketchup.
• Bake for 1 hour or until loaf is done (should not be pink in the middle).
• Remove from oven and cover with foil--let stand 10 to 15 minutes before serving and it will cut nicely.

Steps:

• To make the gravy, use a rubber spatula to scrape the pan juices from the roasting pan into a fat separator, leaving the browned bits in the pan. Let stand 5 minutes; then pour off the dark brown drippings into a 2-quart glass measuring cup; reserve the clear yellow fat in the separator. Add enough stock to the drippings to measure 5 cups.
• Place the roasting pan over two burners on high heat. Measure 1/4 cup of the reserved fat and add to the pan. Whisk in the flour (a flat "roux whisk" works best to reach into corners) and let bubble for 30 seconds. Since this is a reduced amount of flour and fat, it won't coat the entire pan so try to concentrate the ingredient to one part of pan to prevent the flour from scorching. One cup at a time, whisk in the stock mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, whisking often, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan, until reduced to about 4 cups, about 3 minutes. For a thicker gravy, whisk in the cornstarch, but keep in mind that as the gravy cools, it will also thicken, so it might not be necessary.
• Strain through a coarse wire sieve into a bowl. Taste; season with the salt and, if desired, pepper and rosemary. Transfer to a warmed sauceboat.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, chili sauce, egg, salt, and freshly ground black pepper; mix well. Shape into an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
• Place loaf pan on a rack in an oven-roasting pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until done. Cook until internal temperature measures 160 degrees F (70 degrees C); the meat should be well done, with no trace of pink. Remove from oven, and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• While the meatloaf is resting, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onions; cook and stir until tender. Add beef broth; simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Combine water and cornstarch in a small cup; stir into broth. Cook and stir for 1 minute, or until thickened.
