Couscous Rolled Meatloaf Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, mix ground beef, sausage, egg, 1/2 cup of the pizza sauce, the bread crumbs and pepper.
• On foil, pat mixture to12x8-inch rectangle. Sprinkle evenly with cheese; gently press into meat. Top with spinach. Starting at short end, roll up tightly, using foil to start roll and tucking in spinach leaves; seal ends. Place seam side down in ungreased 12x8-inch (2 quart) glass baking dish.
• Bake 1 hour. Spread remaining pizza sauce over top. Bake 15 minutes longer or until thermometer inserted in meatloaf reads 160°F. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• To make tomato sauce, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir the onion, green pepper, and celery in the hot oil until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Pour the undrained whole tomatoes, tomato sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, sugar, oregano, 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and water into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the tomato mixture into the saucepan and simmer over low heat for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1/4 cup parsley. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, Creole seasoning, cayenne pepper, and salt until the mixture is thoroughly combined; spread into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
• Scatter the mozzarella cheese over the meat; spread 1/4 cup of the sauce over the cheese. Sprinkle the sauce with 1/4 cup chopped parsley and 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning. Pick up one end of the meat layer (short side), and gently roll the meat around the filling. Reposition the meat roll in the center of the dish, and pour the remaining tomato sauce over the roll.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the roll is no longer pink in the center, 45 minutes to 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Steps:

• Add the olive oil to a skillet over medium heat.
• Add in the onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the onion is golden.
• Transfer mixture to a bowl; set aside.
• Add the tomato sauce, cilantro, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and sugar to a medium saucepan over medium heat (this mixture will be refered to as chermoula from this point on) Cook, 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly, or until the tomato sauce begins to bubble.
• Remove from heat; add half of the chermoula to the onion-pepper-garlic mixture.
• Keep the remainder of the chermoula in the pan and set aside.
• In another saucepan, add 1 cup beef broth; bring to a boil.
• Add in the couscous; stir once and remove saucepan from heat; cover and let stand for 12-15 minutes or until couscous is tender.
• Lightly oil a 6-cup ring mold.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the couscous, ground lamb, ground sirloin, onion-pepper-garlic mixture, and eggs.
• Mix together using your hands to break up any lumps.
• Spoon mixture into the mold; spread evenly with a spatula.
• Place mold in a larger baking pan (to catch any juices that may boil over).
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour or until firm.
• Take out of the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes.
• Invert onto a serving platter.
• Over medium heat, mix together the remaining chermoula and the remaining beef broth with the crushed bouillon cube and chopped tomatoes.
• Cook for 6 minutes or so, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.
• Spoon the sauce over the meatloaf and serve any extra on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
• Instant read thermometer.
• In a saucepan, bring water and beef stock to a boil. Gradually stir in couscous. Cover, remove from heat and set aside or let stand until couscous is tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork before using.
• In a large bowl, combine ground beef, sausage, onion, bell pepper, parsley, eggs, all but 2 tablespoons of the tomato sauce, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, cayenne and couscous. Using your hands, mix until well blended. Transfer to loaf pan and spread remaining 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce over top. Bake in preheated oven until temperature reaches 165°F on a thermometer, about 1 hour. Makes 8 servings.
• VARIATION: Substitute spelt or barley couscous for the whole wheat version.
• TIP: For the best flavor, toast whole cumin and coriander seeds and grind them yourself. To toast seeds, spread in a dry skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a mortar or a spice grinder and grind.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the carrots and onion on a rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Roast until tender and slightly golden, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the couscous as the label directs, adding the raisins in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Drain the couscous and raisins and rinse under cold water. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the harissa, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 to 3 tablespoons water until smooth. Put the escarole in a large bowl and add the roasted carrots and onion; toss to wilt the greens slightly. Add the couscous-raisin mixture, the dressing and the roast beef and toss to coat. Divide the salad among plates.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine ground beef, soup, chopped onion, rolled oats, eggs, steak sauce, ketchup, and mustard in a large bowl. Mix well.
• Shape into a loaf, and pat into a loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375.
• Mix meats, bread crumbs, milk, egg and seasonings together. Lay out a large piece of waxed paper, lightly sprayed with cooking oil.
• In a food processor mix onions, parsely and golden raisins. (raisins may stay whole, that's ok!) If you do not have a food processor just chop onion and parsley. Mix sauce ingredients together, set aside.
• Spread meat onto waxed paper in an 11 by 9 inch rectangle.
• Spread parsley onion mix evenly on top.
• Start on one of the 9 inch sides and begin rolling the meat tightly. (Like a jelly roll) Lift into a lightly greased loaf pan.
• Bake for 1 hour at 375. Add sauce to top of meatloaf 1/2 way through cooking time.
