Meatloaf Meatballs To Die For Recipes

Steps:

• Chop the onion then mix all the ingredients for the meat portion together, uncooked. All the seasonings should be eyeballed in -- just use your own knowledge of what tastes your family likes. Not too much of the liquid smoke or Worcestershire, but give a good few shakes of each. This really adds flavor. Mix together the ketchup and brown sugar for the topping and set aside.
• Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Pull out the meatloaf and drain the excess juice from the pan. Put on the topping and bake for another 30 minutes. This goes very well with cheesy potatoes! Also, the leftovers can be used as meatloaf sandwiches, yummy!
• ENJOY!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine all ingredients. Form into loaf in loaf pan. Bake 45 to 50 minutes.
• To vary recipe I have made a mixture of hamburger and local grocery store breakfast sausage, so tender. I've also formed into meatballs and cooked in spagetti sauce in crockpot or on stove till done.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, add the bread and the milk and let soak for a few minutes then wring out the moisture. In another large mixing bowl add the meat and the soaked bread. Add the egg, salt and pepper, to taste, the garlic, parsley, cheese and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Mix to combine and form into 4 mini oval loaves, about 2-inches thick.
• Arrange the loaves on a medium nonstick baking sheet and drizzle the tops with a little extra-virgin olive oil. Roast in oven for 20 minutes.
• While meat is roasting, put a medium skillet or sauce pot on the stove over medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the peppers and the onions, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and saute for 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, cook for 1 minute, then sprinkle in the flour and stir for 1 minute more. Whisk in the stock and Worcestershire, and season again with salt and pepper, to taste. Reduce the heat and let simmer until ready to serve.
• Remove the meatloaves from the oven to a serving platter and serve with lots of chunky pepper and onion gravy on top.

Steps:

• For the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a saute pan over medium to medium-high heat; melt the butter. Add the onion, celery and garlic; season with salt, pepper and thyme. Cook to tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Deglaze with the sherry or wine; cool.
• Soak the bread in milk while the veggies cool.
• Place the meat in mixing bowl; season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the liquid out of the bread and crumble into the bowl. Add the cooked vegetables, parsley, Worcestershire, mustard and eggs; combine to mix but do not overwork.
• Place parchment paper on a baking sheet and roll the meat into 24 balls. Spray with cooking spray and roast about 15 to 18 minutes until lightly crispy and golden and cooked through. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat, covered, in a preheated 375-degree F oven with a splash of water or they will stick in the bottom of the dish. Once meatballs are hot, uncover and crisp up for 5 minutes.
• For the mash: Fill a pot halfway with cold water. Peel and add the potatoes as they are chopped or, if you peeled up the potatoes ahead, place in a pot and fill with fresh water. Add enough water to cover the potatoes, then cover the pot and place over high heat to bring to a boil. Once the water boils, remove the lid, salt the water and cook, uncovered, at a low boil until tender to fork. Drain and return to hot pot. Mash the potatoes with the sour cream and cream, a liberal dose of pepper, horseradish and chives; salt to your taste. If you wish to make the potatoes ahead of time and hold them for a couple of hours, place an inch of water in a large pot and bring to boil, then reduce heat to low and place a smaller pot, filled with the potatoes, into simmering water and cover that pot.
• For the gravy: Melt the butter in saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and bring to a bubble; whisk in the stock and Worcestershire, season with pepper and thicken. Temper the egg yolk by lightly beating a ladle of gravy into it, then whisk into the sauce. Cool and store; reheat over medium heat, adding a little more stock, if necessary, to loosen.
• Serve in shallow bowls. Spoon in enough potatoes to gently mound up in a bowl, then arrange a few meatballs in the center of the mound. Ladle gravy down over top and garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• (Mini Meatloaves).
• Preheat oven to 400°F Pour 1/4 cup of the gravy into large bowl. Stir in broth or water. Add meat, stuffing mix and eggs (seasonings as well here); mix lightly. Refrigerate remaining gravy for use in Swedish Meatballs.
• Divide meat mixture in half. Shape half of the meat mixture into 2 oval loaves on baking sheet. Shape remaining mixture into about 16 balls. Place, in a single layer, onto another baking sheet. (I can get them to all fit in one full size baking sheet).
• Bake 20 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the oven. Bake meat loaves an additional 10 minutes or so until no longer pink in center. Slice and serve with your favorite veggies.
• Refrigerate the meatballs to serve next meal.
• (Swedish Meatballs).
• Mix gravy and sour cream in a large saucepan.
• Add meatballs and cook on low heat for 10 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
• Serve with hot buttered noodles and a green salad!

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat; add celery, carrot and onion, and sauté 7 minutes or just until tender.
• Stir together celery mixture, ground beef, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs, and next 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Shape into 2" meatballs using an ice cream scoop. Place the meatballs in a foil lined baking dish and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
• Stir together 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, brown sugar, chili sauce, 1 tablespoon ketchup and red pepper flakes until blended; pour evenly over meatballs, and bake 10 to 15 more minutes or until no longer pink in center. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Combine onion, saltine crackers, salt, pepper, egg and milk.
• Add ground beef and mix to combine.
• At this point, you can shape into loaves, wrap in plastic wrap, place in freezer bag and freeze for later use.
• If using for meatballs, spread mixture out on plastic wrap in a flat square; put in freezer bag and freeze. I use defrost level in microwave to defrost 1 lb ground beef.
• For meatloaf, we simply pour a layer of ketchup over the loaf and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• For meatballs, shape into desired size; brown in fry pan with 1 tablespoon oil. Add meatballs to tomato/spaghetti sauce or chili sauce with grape jelly sauce.
• Variation: Feel free to add garlic powder or minced garlic and/or Parmesan cheese.
