Jerrys Meatloaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the carrot, celery, onion, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic in a food processor, and pulse until very finely chopped, almost to a puree. Place the minced vegetables into a large mixing bowl, and mix in ground chuck, Worcestershire sauce, and egg. Add Italian herbs, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix gently with a wooden spoon to incorporate vegetables and egg into the meat. Pour in bread crumbs. With your hand, gently mix in the crumbs with your fingertips just until combined, about 1 minute.
• Form the meatloaf into a ball. Pour olive oil into a baking dish and place the ball of meat into the dish. Shape the ball into a loaf, about 4 inches high by 6 inches across.
• Bake in the preheated oven just until the meatloaf is hot, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce. Stir until the brown sugar has dissolved.
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven. With the back of a spoon, smooth the glaze onto the top of the meatloaf, then pull a little bit of glaze down the sides of the meatloaf with the back of the spoon.
• Return meatloaf to oven, and bake until the loaf is no longer pink inside and the glaze has baked onto the loaf, 30 to 40 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cooking time will depend on shape and thickness of the meatloaf.

Steps:

• Crumble ground chuck into a large bowl.
• Sprinkle onion soup mix over meat. Mix together with wooden spoon (or dig in and use your hands).
• Add remaining meatloaf ingredients and mix well. Using your hands, while messy, works the best!
• Add a little water (up to 1/4 cup) if the mixture seems too dry. This depends on the moisture content of the ground chuck & your own personal preference.
• If possible, refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight, before baking, to allow the flavors to blend.
• Shape meat into a wide, flat loaf, and place in a 9 x 13 pan sprayed with cooking spray (makes cleanup easier).
• Bake at 350 for 1/2 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine sauce ingredients and mix well. Spread a thin layer of the sauce over the meatloaf after baking 1/2 hour.
• Return meatloaf to oven for about 1/2 hour, or until done. The loaf will be more firm when done. If in doubt, cut in half and check to make sure it isn't pink in the center.
• Serve hot, topped with more of the ketchup sauce, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine the beef, egg, onion, milk and bread OR cracker crumbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste and place in a lightly greased 9x5-inch loaf pan, or form into a loaf and place in a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
• In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard and ketchup. Mix well and pour over the meatloaf.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Put beef and onions together in a lg. bowl. Mix well.
• Add bread crumbs, eggs, and milk, and mix well.
• Add rice and water, and mix well. (It will be soupy. It won't be like that when it's done).
• Add 1/2 cups ketchup, and 1/2 cups tomato sauce, salt and pepper, and mix well. I use my hands to mix it together. It doesn't look so good before being cooked, but it is when it is cooked!
• Put mixture in a 9x13-inch casserole dish, shaping into a loaf.
• In a bowl, mix the remaining ketchup and tomato sauce together. Pour over top of meatloaf.
• Bake in 350°F oven, for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until no longer pink in the middle.
• Let sit for a few minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Melt butter over low heat and cook onion until caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes. Combine onion with eggs, beef, bell pepper, matzo meal, carrots, pepper, garlic powder and salt in large bowl. Mix well. Pat mixture into loaf on a baking sheet. Spread or brush ketchup over loaf. Bake at 375 degrees until browned, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Serve plain or with Brown Mushroom Gravy (see recipe), if desired. This recipe yields 10 to 12 servings.
