Meatloaf

Intrigued

Bigfoot & Bagel aficionado.
I've never made my meatloaf in a pan. I just shape it into a loaf (or a loaf-like shape) and pop it into the oven. This lets some of the fat melt away from the meat. You've got to be a little careful not to dry it out but I've never had a problem. Anyone else do this?


That's how I make mine.

I like to use a couple pounds lean beef with about 6 to 8oz. of pork sausage mix in. I add finely diced bell pepper, onion, and baby bella mushrooms to keep it moist.
 
I once made an Italian-style meatloaf with (I believe) sausage, ground beef, ricotta and various spices topped with crushed tomatoes. I think my ex-wife has the recipe; if I can dig it up on the InterWebs I'll post it.

You're going to dig up your ex-wife and post her on the Internet?

Standard operating procedure for me.
 
Man that sounds good. My wife makes our meatloaf formed in a pan and then places it on a baking sheet to let the fat drain off

The Marriott Eaton Centre in Toronto makes meatloaf wrapped in prosciutto. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Pretty darned good.

This is an inspiring thread. Since I've always used a loaf pan to make meatloaf I decided to try a "free standing" one. It turned out very well even if I do say so myself.

And yes, under that glaze there is BACON!

Ground pork meatloaf last night. 2 lbs lean ground pork, a couple eggs, three packages of Stuff 'n' Such country Stuffing with dried vegetables, mix it all up and split it into four separate parts in one of the wife's baking pans (I think it's meant for cakes as it has a molded "bottom". Glaze the top of each one with a different BBQ sauce (one gets Sriracha sauce), and let 'er go. Yum yum, and we have dinner for tonight, too.

Sitting on the runway in Birmingham. Trying to get back to Seattle. I already have my shopping list for tomorrow's Ouchloaf.
 
Ouchloaf, before cooking. Not sure how visible the "Ouch" will be after cooking.

2 lbs ground bison, crumbled saltines, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, 2 beaten eggs, chopped apple wood smoked bacon, Melissa's Habanero catsup, salt, tellicherry malibar ground pepper, powdered ghost chiles. I will follow with an after photo.

I must run errands, so the Ouchloaf won't enter the oven for about an hour.
