Yes, we had mashed potatoes to accompany them, and I even mixed in some leftover beer cheese from the fridge. I served these with my stuffed poblano peppers, which he always requests.ĭuring the time he was here we also made this chicken and pork meatloaf, that is comfort food at its finest. Needing comfort food we kind of went through our list and started with chili, and roast chicken and then finished off with these great chicken enchiladas with red chile sauce. Zoe took the good weather with her and Alex, fresh from touring Baja on a motorcycle, came home to quite cold weather. In previous programming I mentioned that Zoe was home and shortly after Alex arrived, though they didn’t overlap. Hopefully you will have leftovers because I crave a good meat loaf sandwich.Īnd when I make my meatloaf sandwiches with leftovers, well, it is as simple as taking soft white bread, (I like Oroweat country white) untoasted, and slathering the bread with ketchup and lots of black pepper and a few slices of onion, and then I add slices of meatloaf and yes…this is what I eat when you aren’t watching! (What a long sentence!) (This is an updated post from October 2018!) Superb, I must say! Lots of onion flavor and a glaze of brown sugar and mustard. The seasoning of choice in this meatloaf? Rosemary. It’s also hard to go without ketchup in a meatloaf, so I always rely on Heinz. It seems to give the meat a little extra umami. Why? Well, that was the one constant in Mom’s meatloaf and I like the taste. The one thing I almost always do is add Lipton’s onion soup mix. Should you use cooked veggies or raw?įrankly, cooking them is one more step, so I am not known to saute the veg! But using butter definitely would give more flavor, so this is your choice. Veggies and seasonings can be catered to your tastes. Individual portions this way and if the meat juice doesn’t collect you will have nice browned edges. If you do like crust around your meatloaf you might try baking it in muffin cups. I prefer my meatloaf to be tender but, not wet. If your meatloaf does happen to produce too much juice, well I just pour it off. Meat should be handled gently, otherwise it can end up tough and who wants a tough meatloaf? Using a sauce or glaze on top of the loaf is also good for holding in moisture, but it’s also great for flavor.Īnd please, please, please! do not pack the meat too hard. However, I’m guessing you soaked those bread crumbs in milk, which helps to keep things moist! Use fresh bread crumbs so your meat loaf doesn’t dry out…Another common error! Though I’m sure many of you have a recipe that works just fine with dry bread crumbs! Using ground meat with a high fat ratio also helps, as does a sauce or bacon strips laid on the top, but honestly, even with other versions of meatloaf I have to admit, I’ve never had this problem.įigure 1 egg to a pound of meat unless you are using really lean meat.īread crumbs or often oats, are used as a filler to make the meatloaf stretch! and to serve more people actually! I’ve even used cooked rice. How do you keep meatloaf moist? This seems to be a common issue and so easily remedied as long as you don’t keep reheating the loaf!Įggs are used to give moisture and also to bind the ingredients together. Let’s start at the very beginning! Meatloaf or Meat Loaf? Believe it or not, I come up with both search terms so for the purpose of research we are going with meatloaf!

So let’s explore, shall we? How to Make Meatloaf? She did that with brisket also, but when it comes to such classic dishes, I like to revert to recipes, so I always know what I’ll get! She usually took a variety of leftovers and combined them with onion soup mix and what you got is…well, what you got! Try it and see!Īs a child my mother often made meatloaf, always with ground beef, and usually we never quite knew what to expect. I think I like the texture better as it is not so set. But with all the options out there, I’ve come up with new favorites and this meatloaf recipe is one of them.įor some reason I’ve never been a fan of ground turkey, so I use a lot of ground chicken. Since I stopped eating beef years ago, I’ve never lost my need for burgers or foods made with ground beef. I think this is the best meatloaf ever! Many of you may think that meatloaf should always be made with beef, but this ground chicken and pork recipe has won lots of converts! Chicken and Pork Meatloaf is tender and savory with great onion flavor and lots of ketchup! (I think you’ll love the change from beef.)
