Need meat loaf advice
Posted on 1/10/14 at 3:50 pm

The only traditional winter time meal that I have not made this season is meat loaf. The reason is that my last two attempts tasted good but fell apart when trying to cut into slices. It ended up the texture of chili.
I want to try again tomorrow and would appreciate your best recipe.

add egg and bread crumbs.
also, I get the "meatloaf meat pack"from breaux mart on severn in metairie. its beef veal pork combo makes life easy. I add italian seasoning, fresh herbs that I have, some dry mustard powder, a little bbq sauce as well. mix hut not overmix, I drain the fat about 45 minutes into cooking.

This is the best meatloaf recipe I've come across..It's from 1770 House in East Hampton, NY. It's labor intensive. The onions and veggies are cooked beforehand so you're not biting into a crisp piece of onion. The combination of meats make the meatloaf very moist. The au jus is light and clear.. very flavorful.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 cups chopped Spanish onion (1 large)
1 1/2 cups small-diced celery (2 stalks)
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground veal
1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
3 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups panko (Japanese bread flakes)
Garlic Sauce (recipe follows)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent but not browned. Set aside to cool slightly.
Place the beef, veal, pork, parsley, thyme, chives, eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Put the panko in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until the panko is finely ground.
Add the onion mixture and the panko to the meat mixture. With clean hands, gently toss the mixture together, making sure it's combined but not compacted.
Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan. Pat the meat into a flat rectangle and then press the sides in until it forms a cylinder down the middle of the pan (this will ensure no air pockets). Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a thermometer inserted in the middle reads 155 degrees F to 160 degrees F. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve hot with the Garlic Sauce.
Garlic Sauce
3/4 cup good olive oil
10 garlic cloves, peeled
2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Combine the oil and garlic in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Be careful not to burn the garlic or it will be bitter. Remove the garlic from the oil and set aside. (I save the oil for vinaigrettes.)
Combine the chicken stock, butter and cooked garlic in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook at a full boil for 35 to 40 minutes, until slightly thickened. Mash the garlic with a fork, whisk in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and taste for seasonings. Spoon the warm sauce over the meatloaf.

Use oatmeal instead of breadcrumbs. The texture is perfect.
Add brown sugar and a tiny pinch of cinnamon to the ketchup or chili sauce glaze.

That looks good with some variations. I'm not doing the veal ....will use another pound of ground beef.
Not doing parsley or thyme...will substitute rosemary from my garden.
Also, don't really like black pepper. Will go with cayenne.
Thanks!

There is something just wrong about using the word meatloaf when speaking of soybeans. Textured vegetable protein is just that veggies made into a granules or patties to be prepared as a meal.
ETA I need to start paying attention to my post count a bit more carefully, it is getting very close to a magic number.

I was going to post this as well. Alternatively, mix oatmeal and bread crumbs together.
