Blue Plate Meatloaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F Lightly oil a 9-by-13 inch flameproof baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the onion, oats, the 1/2 cup tomato sauce, the eggs, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Stir to mix thoroughly. Add the ground meats and mix well with clean hands. Rinse an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with water and pack the meat mixture into the wet pan. Unmold the meat mixture into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake for 1 hour. Spread the 3 tablespoons tomato sauce over the top of the meat loaf and continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf registers 165F, about 10 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, melt the 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, uncovered, stirring from time to time, until lightly browned, about 8 minutes, set aside.
• Using a large spatula, transfer the meat loaf to a platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Spoon off the clear yellow fat from the baking pan and measure it. Add melted butter as needed to make 2 tablespoons. Return the 2 tablespoons fat to the meat juice in the baking pan and place on the stove top over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth to make a roux. Let bubble for 1 minute. Whisk in the stock, then scrape up the browned bits from the pan bottom. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, whisking often. Reduce the heat to medium-low add the reserved mushrooms, and simmer until lightly thickened, about 5 minutes Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Slice the meat loaf and serve hot, garnished with thyme and drizzled with gravy.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute onion, celery and garlic in oil until tender; cool.
• In a large bowl, combine eggs, ketchup, crumbs, parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg and onion mixture. Crumble beef over mixture; mix well.
• Shape into a loaf. Place in a greased 11-in. x 7-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until no pink remains and a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a food processor, chop carrots, celery, onion, and panko with egg white until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl; mix in beef, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
• On a foil-lined baking sheet, form meat mixture into a 6-inch-long loaf; brush with half the barbecue sauce. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in loaf registers 160 degrees, 25 to 30 minutes, brushing halfway through with remaining sauce.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, cover potatoes with cold salted water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain; return to pan. Stir over medium until a starchy film forms on bottom of pan, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; mash with buttermilk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• While potatoes cook, set a steamer basket in a saucepan filled with one inch water; bring to a gentle boil. Add green beans; cover, and cook until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; add oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss. Serve meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans.
