I made this tonight with no hopes of success, after years of meatloaf failures because there's a lot of disgusting recipes out there. But this was everything you could wish for in a loaf of meat. Life changing, one might say. I will never even try a different recipe.
I highly recommend trying this recipe, I could not stop eating it was so tasty!!! The meatloaf came out awesome, I used half measures to make a small 1lb loaf. A few small subsitutions due to not having some things on hand like using mustard versus mustard powder and regular sugar versus brown in the glaze.
I’m a Midwestern boomer. I’ve has my share of excellent meat loaves, but this one takes the blue ribbon. I prefer my own BBQ/ sriracha/Worcester glaze, but otherwise I followed the recipe verbatim after cutting it in half for this single guy. I simply moulded it by hand on a parchment covered baking tray. Awesome!
I put finally cut up red a green peppers in my meatloaf .My mom made it that way . I make it for hubby that way . Funny since I don't eat meat . Soon be married 50 years Feb 18th . I always tell people my cooking and canning my own food kept us together , I grew up on an organic farm when organic was not a key word .Parents bought a city farm of just over 7 acres and we got to work on it just the 3 of us . Learned to can from my mother . Sad when things have changed so much that family values are dying out
Love meatloaf. I also love meatloaf sandwiches the next day. Bread, Mayo, Sautéed Onions, Sliced pickles and a little barbecue sauce! One of the best sandwiches ever!!!
First time I’ve ever baked my meatloaf on parchment paper! Wow, it was wonderful! No more loaf lying in a grease pool.Also liked the shredded onions instead of chopping. I was lazy and used Manwich for the sauce. 😁👍🏻
Now that’s a proper Meatloaf! Accompanied with Mushrooms, onion gravy , mashed potatoes, peas and carrots with homemade brown or white bread! Yahoo! Not to fussy about the BBQ sauce , I like a little dry mustard and ketchup mix! Cheers
It depends on how I'm feeling, sometimes I glaze the meatloaf with Sweet Baby Ray's original BBQ sauce, some Coleman's mustard and a little brown sugar. I even make a little well down the middle of the meat, that way you get more of the sauce. Other times I cook my meat plain but make a nice brown gravy with onions and mushrooms. Gotta have mashed potatoes too and a nice salad. SOMETIMES... when I go to Costco... I actually make both versions, they freeze beautifully. I make 2 of each version from about 5 pounds of meat if I buy even more meat, I'll get spaghetti sauce going too. I love cooking and freezing stuff. 🎉
That meatloaf looks great and I'm sure it tastes great. CAB is top grade meat to be sure and I worked for 31 years in the beef industry and can attest to CAB's quality as we supplied it out of the Cargill plant in High River Alberta where I worked. CAB beef is all AAA and so very good.
I use 1# lean GB, 1# ground pork, minced garlic, Stove top sage stuffing mix, 2 eggs and 1.5 cups of milk. Salt and pepper to taste. I mix all ingredients in a large bowl with my hands, then remove the mix and form the loaf. I bake @ 350 F for 35-40 minutes. Comes out perfect every time.
There are approximately 341,600,000 people in the US. You will get at least half of that amount of meatloaf recipes - each claiming to be the 'best.' NO ONE is wrong - each person has their own personal tastes. (Try some GROUND Rosemary and rubbed sage...)
WOW, I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it was. I've tried quite a few recipes and none of them compare. I didn't change a thing. I had trouble finding the amount of milk and the oven temp after I'd watched the video. In your comments to someone, you wrote about clicking on "more" above the comments. I was happy to learn of that RU-vid feature. There I found what I needed. Thanks again for posting a great video.
Thank you so much for generously sharing your knowledge and experience with this amazing recipe. 🔍👏👏 It inspired me to finally take the plunge and give it a try. 🌟 🙏😊 🎅✨ I'm wishing you and your channel a wonderful and prosperous 2024 !! 🎅✨😊
Made this tonight to show my mom in law what I can make...lol...everyone was impressed....I love the onion tactic (pulp) mii mother in law asked where mii dry lipton mix was 🤭 sorry Ma this recipe don't do that. I gotta say that this is one of the best meat loaf recipe I've ever had!!!! This fed 4 ppl with 3 Xtra big slices leftover...meatloaf sandwich for lunch yall...❤
I grew up on US Army meatloaf, which continued on during my Army career. The difference is, you substitute the breadcrumbs for oatmeal. Possibly more readily available at home, and a healthier option! But I wouldn't change anything else about the rest!
Looks terrific. It is on my list for Sunday afternoon. I am glad you emphasized not squeezing the beef, because that destroys the great eating texture of a well-made meatloaf. I have seen and tried countless meatloaf recipes. I spent 23 years eating MRE's and cooking over a heat tab, but since I retired from the Army, I have been teaching myself to cook. Your meatloaf looks easy enough for my primitive skills.
I like the idea of shredding, never can seem to get the dice small enough for the picky eaters. I saw Alton Brown do the loaf pan trick and it's the best.
Yes.......But don’t eat that meatloaf, refrigerate it, and serve on thick slices of white bread with Mayo and a piece of lettuce. I had this one evening in the coffee shop at the Fairmont Hotel, it was called Mom’s meatloaf sandwich, and it was awesome.
@@suzettebavier4412 I hope not 😂😂I like to sear it in a pan the next day, til the sides are a little crisp 🤤🤤Hamburger bun, lettuce, mayo...a delectable hamburger
Made this tonight 😊I loved the glaze especially…. It was good but I didn’t find it quite spicy enough for my liking… I followed the recipe exactly… only substitute was regular bread crumbs..as that’s all I had on hand… the rest EXACTLY…oh… I had 88/12 hamburg Ty for interesting recipe
Love your recipe. Only thing I added was a bag of corn peas and carrots but also the other adjustment I made was you said to throw it in for 15 to help set a crust. Doesn’t happen at 375 so I cranked it to 500 (which is how I make prime rib) for the first 15 minutes. Glaze it then put back in at 375
That’s how i do my turkey or chicken. I crank it up to 500 and leave it for about 30 minutes then turn it down to 350. It sears the surface and the meat stays nice and moist. I learned that from Alton Brown and my baked poultry comes out awesome every time.
I made this lovely meatloaf Sunday night. It was my first meatloaf and I made it KETO.😋 I didn't have 2lbs of beef so I used a mixture of ground turkey, beef and sausage. About a month ago I bought some mustard powder because it was on clearance. I had no idea what I was going to do with it so thankyou😜 Welp today is Tuesday and I ate the last two pieces for lunch. I couldn't stop eating it lol. My mom isn't a fan of meatloaf but she loved it as well😋 Thank you 💗
Shhh. Don't tell the Angus Beef Police, but I didn't use it ;-) I went with my tried and true 2/3 beef to 1/3 pork mix. But the house is smelling amazing right now on this Sunday evening as wafts of heavenly meat and ketchup circle in every room. I cannot wait to dive into this with some roasted potatoes.
It took me some experimentation but I finally came up with a meatloaf recipe that I love I use a lot of barbecue sauce in it and coat it with barbecue sauce before baking it.
Greetings from Jacksonville Florida USA. Nice job. Will try it. Thanks for doing this. Okay, now have made it several times. This has become my go-to meatloaf recipe. Thanks again!
I tried this recipe and it was OK. Much better recipe was my mom's when I used liquid yellow mustard instead of powdered mustard, regular bread crumbs and all the other same ingredients he used. And, yes, much better the next day!!!!
As a non fan of ketchup (and bbq sauce) I truly don’t understand the reason why people insist on adding it prior to cooking. If you want to add ketchup afterwards, that’s your choice
Looks great. Remember - don't squeeze the loaf, sort of pinch it to loosely combine the ingredients. This is where the term "pinch a loaf" comes from. True story.
Hello! Thank you for the recipe. It would be very convenient if you specified that the temperature you mentioned is in Fahrenheit. I'm from Europe, and I assumed that it was in Celsius. Thankfully I realised my mistake before the meatloaf was burned.
I don't eat meat at all but hubby likes meatloaf so I might try this I know when I make him speghetti I put brown sugar in the sauce to cut the acid of the tomato's a little . I have canned my own since I was a child with my mother teaching me and now 70 and still canning and hubby likes it since i grow my own veggies organically just like I grew up with . My parents bought a city farm when I was 9 and they grew organically on 7 acres What is the paper on the bottom . I get 80 % but it sure has gotten more greasy
Using milk is an important ingredient! Our recipe is about 100 years old and it came from Austria with my great-grandmother. If I try someone's meatloaf and it doesn't have milk, I can tell immediately.
Because of the movie A Christmas Story I had a fear of meatloaf as a child but later I realized it's one of the best foods ever and my favorite sandwich too.
Great recipe, and love meatloaf, but even cheap tube burger from Walmart works, I don't spend premium or grind for a meatloaf, a burger yes.. but haven't found a difference in meatloaf, and was long day testing, but lots meatloaf 😂🤣
