Categories Meatloaf

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 large yellow sweet onions, cut into 1-inch dice (Vidalia, Maui, Hermiston, etc.)
1 -2 tablespoon sugar
1 lb ground grass fed beef (read recipe intro^^)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 tablespoons stone ground mustard (standard yellow mustard or Dijon will work)
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (soy sauce, Braggs will work, too)
1 garlic clove, minced (I used a small clove of garlic because the Worcestershire sauce I like is roasted garlic flavored.)
1/2 cup brown rice meal (read recipe ^intro)
dried parsley (optional)

Steps:

Melt the butter in a large pan on medium-low heat. Add the onions and sugar; cook until brown and sweet-approximately 20-30 minutes. Lower the heat if the onions are browning too quickly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the meatloaf ingredients with the caramelized onions (including all those browned bits at the bottom of the pan!); Do not overmix.
Transfer the meatloaf mixture to an oiled or parchment-lined loaf pan. (I used a large soup spoon, patting the mixture down and into the corners of the pan. Use the back of the spoon to smooth the top of the loaf.) If desired, lightly sprinkle the top of the loaf with dried parsley.
Bake at 375 for 45-60 minutes or until the meatloaf is not longer pink in the center.
Servings are estimated. Cooking time includes caramelizing the onions.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 medium onions (diced into small pieces)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon thyme (dried)
2 eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons creamed horseradish (not horseradish sauce)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 lbs ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons creamed horseradish

Steps:

Heat oil in heavy pan, add onions, turn heat to low and let onions cook and caramelize, stirring every few minute until onions are nicely brown (about 30-40 min., don't rush this step, be careful not to burn onions), add garlic & thyme; cook about 2 minute more. When onions have cooked 15 min., preheat oven to 375.
While onions are cooking put ground beef in a medium bowl, let come to room temp, mix together eggs, sour cream horseradish and worcestershire sauce.
When onions are done, add bread crumbs and onion mixture to meat, season with salt and pepper, then add egg/sour cream mixture. Use your hands to GENTLY combine until all ingredients are mixed. Handle meat as litttle as possible.
Spray broiler or roasting pan with non-stick spray, form meat into a loaf shape and place on pan.
Bake about 1 1/2 hours or until meatloaf is nicely browned on the outside and internal temperature is 155-160 degrees.
Let meatloaf rest 10-15 minutes before cutting; while it rests, stir together sour cream, may and horseradish to make a sauce.
Freezes well.

Categories Beef

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
1 1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 c tomato sauce
1/2 c plain dried bread crumbs
2 egg whites lightly beaten
1/2 lb fresh mushrooms chopped (optional)
1 tsp dried bail
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
ketchup optional

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray
2. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add onion, garlic, sugar, cook stirring occasionally until golden about 10 minutes.
3. Transfer to a large bowl. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil in same skillet. Add mushrooms and cook stirring occasionally until browned about 6-7 minutes. Add to the bowl with the onion allow to cool 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the beef, 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce, bread crumbs, egg whites, basil, salt, pepper. until well combined. I like to use my hands to mix it thoroughly.
5. Transfer mixture to the baking sheet and form into a 4x9 inch loaf. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of tomato sauce over the top. You could use brown gravy instead of the tomato sauce if desired. Bake for 45-55 minutes.
6. Cut into slices. Tip: If you like a crispier textured loaf, cut slices, and place laying flat on baking sheet. place slices in broiler for about 5 minutes on each side.
