Quick Microwave Meat Loaf Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, brown sugar, and mustard; stir until the brown sugar has dissolved.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix the eggs, minced onion and green pepper, garlic powder, cracker crumbs, salt, and black pepper; mix in the ground beef and half the tomato sauce mixture, stirring until the meat loaf is thoroughly combined. Place the meat mixture into a 2-quart microwave-safe baking dish. Spread the remaining tomato sauce mixture over the meat loaf.
• Cook in microwave oven on High setting until set, the juices run clear, and meat is no longer pink inside, 10 to 15 minutes depending on power of microwave oven. An instant-read meat thermometer, inserted into the center of the loaf, should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Drain any grease from the dish as soon as loaf is cooked; allow to stand, uncovered, 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In large bowl mix the onion, carrot, egg, milk, ¼ cup ketchup, mustard, bread, salt and pepper, then mix in the ground beef.
• Place into large glass dish and shape. (a large pie plate works good).
• Cover with a paper towel and microwave on high for 15 minutes. (Turn four times while microwaving if you don't have a carousel).
• Remove from microwave, throw away the paper towel and remove most of the grease from the dish.
• Spread meatloaf with additional ketchup and a little barbecue sauce as desired. (I use about 2 tablespoons ketchup and 2 teaspoons barbecue sauce).
• Cover with a new paper towel and microwave on high for 5 minutes.
• Remove from dish and place on serving plate.
• Slice and enjoy!

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:

• Mix first five ingredients.
• Shape into round loaf in microwave safe dish [I use a glass pie plate].
• Zap on High 12 minutes, or until cooked through.
• Let stand 5 minutes, then brush with remaining barbeque sauce.
• Note -- I like to add Italian seasoning, and change the barbeque sauce to spaghetti or pizza sauce. You can also add shredded cheese.

Steps:

• Reserve 1/4 cup barbecue sauce. Mix remaining barbecue sauce with remaining ingredients just until blended.
• Shape into loaf in 9-inch square microwavable dish; top with reserved barbecue sauce. Cover loosely with waxed paper.
• Microwave on HIGH 12 to 14 min. or until done (165°F), turning dish after 7 min. Let stand 5 min. before slicing to serve.

Steps:

• In small bowl, combine tomato sauce, brown sugar, and mustard. Set aside.
• In large mixing bowl, combine eggs, onion, cracker crumbs, ground beef, salt, and pepper.
• Add 1/2 cup of tomato sauce mixture and stir thoroughly.
• Place meat mixture in glass ring mold, or 2-quart microwave-proof round casserole.
• Pour remaining sauce over top of meat. Cooked, uncovered, on high, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Let stand, covered, 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Combine first 8 ingredients in a bowl and mix with hands until well mixed.
• Pat into a 9 x 5 loaf pan.
• Cook in microwave on full power 6 minutes.
• While cooking for the first 6 minutes, combine sauce elements into small bowl and whisk until mixed. At the end of the first 6 minutes pour sauce over the loaf and continue cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes. (For a firmer loaf. decrease tomato sauce to 6 ounces).

Steps:

• 1. Combine soup mix, stuffing, water, and ketchup in a large bowl and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes. Then mix in all remaining ingredients. Shape into a loaf or a ring in a 9" glass pie plate. Cover with waxed paper.
• 2. Cook in microwave for about 20 -24 minutes. If no turntable, turn meatloaf a quarter turn every 5 minutes. (This time is for a 900-1000 watt oven. If yours is a 1200 watt oven, less time is required.)
• 3. Allow to stand about 10-12 minutes before slicing.
