>meatloaf

i used to work at a restaurant that had a "meatloaf of the day' on the menu. so i ended up making a different meatloaf almost every day. they were not all totally unique but chef wanted repeats to be infrequent. so basically a new meatloaf variation every other day.

it was a pretty fun daily duty.

I make my meat loaf like my mother does. I've never had common meat loaf. My dad was too busy fucking slam pigs and ex wives, so my mother didn't get much meat. I'm lucky that he bothered depositing his meat when he did or else I wouldn't have been born.

Depending on how tart/sweet the cherries and syrup is I could kind of see this working. Similar to how pork (incredibly salty and savory meat) can really pair well with fruits like apples and plums or sweet curry sauce.

How was it anon?

[Anonymous No.17314374]

for real though, might make meatloaf this weekend, what's a good recipe/tips?

[Anonymous No.17314424]

Do you put bread crumbs in your meatloaf anons? We used to do crushed oyster crackers or crushed Ritz crackers in ours growing up. I don't put them in now but I'm not a great cook and I notice when trying to make cold slices for leftover sandwiches it doesn't really stay together. It's good for stretching out meat by using them though.

[Anonymous No.17314432]

Never had meatloaf since I'm not a burger, opinion on seriouseats recipe?

[Anonymous No.17314460]

>>17314374
I'm not a great cook but here is what I do, maybe it'll give a basic guideline. I make them big so I'll just list ingredients instead of actual measurements so you can make any size you want.

Meat mix:
~2/3 Beef, something non lean but not as greasy as 80/20
~1/3 ground pork or ground sausage
--A couple strips of bacon, chopped

Fillers/Flavors:
--Egg(s) for binding
--Vidalia onion, chopped fine
--Dijon mustard
--Worcestershire
--Parsley
--Cumin
--Fennel seed
--Some of whatever sauce you are putting on top

Top sauce:
--Ketchup mixed with worcestershire
Or
--BBQ sauce
Or
--Chili Sauce and a little brown sugar

Optional items:
--Diced bell pepper
--Cajun seasoning
--Venison instead of the beef (but compensate with a higher ratio of pork)
--Green onion

Do you guys prefer your meatloaf dense or on the spongier side?

[Anonymous No.17314548]

What my family always called "meatloaf" is nothing like whatever meatloafs I've ever seen online. I've never had baked meatloaf, nor met anybody who had a similar recipe to us, yet my entire family cooks it the same way. It's more like a kind of meat christmas pudding

>minced beef, generally quite lean
>bacon (usyually home smoked bacon which is more likea mix between proscuttio and salt pork, extremely smoky flavour
>a lot of garlic
>pepper, salt in generally unneeded due to the salt in the bacon
>shredded bread
>worcestershire sauce

pack it into a pudding basin, seal the top and steam in pot of water with the water riding 1/3 up the base of the pudding basin. It's delicous and excellent cold in sandwiches. I have no idea if anybody else on the planet eats this, but curious.

[Anonymous No.17314549]

>>17314512
Dense, but I don't mind if it's not. Just throw the looser stuff on top of some mashed potatoes.

[Anonymous No.17314556]

>>17314548
Sounds more like a pudding then a meatloaf.

[Anonymous No.17314576]

>>17314556
That's probably the closest description to it, yet I feel that calling it "meat pudding" desparages it slightly. It contains roughly the same ingredients as a meatloaf, yet is steamed instead of baked and retains delicious moisture. I remember seeing complaints about meatloaf as a kid from american TV shows and the dryness always seemed to be a major complaint

[Anonymous No.17314591]

>>17314576
I've never had a dry meatloaf but I imagine if it is then it's probably been baked too long or way to many breadcrumbs. Of course, television is usually a garbage exaggeration of things. You're familie's recipie does sound interesting though, I might give it a try just for the experience if I can find something like that smoked bacon.

[Anonymous No.17314656]

This is what the bacon my family make looks like, vacuum packed and frozen ofc. left is cured wet for 4-5 days before smoking (belly) and that's for frying like normal, right is hung dry for 6-8 weeks (leg and shoulder) before smoking, and used for either cooking (in this recipe) or sliced thin and eaten

sorry for garbage picture

I like to use stale pieces of white bread soaked in milk — I also do this for my meatballs. This ensures the meat doesn’t dry out. For my meatloaf glaze, I use a mix of apple butter, bbq sauce, srirachi and brandy. Always a crowd pleaser.

Interesting. How fine do you tear up the bread. I'll have to try the glaze.

It's really good if done right, pretty mediocre when done wrong. If they put brown gravy on it, don't eat it, real meatloaf has tomato based sauce.

[Anonymous No.17316200]

>>17309248
My mom made this meatloaf that didn't use ketchup or tomato sauce but used cream of mushroom instead. There was some cream of mushroom inside the loaf and then she used some to make a gravy-like mushroom sauce that went over the top. It was so good.

You guys should try it.
