Best Sweet And Simple Meatloaf Sauce Recipes

CLASSIC MEATLOAF WITH SWEET AND TANGY GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• If using a loaf pan, spray it with nonstick cooking spray. If using a sheet pan, line it with foil.
• Combine breadcrumbs and milk in a large bowl and set aside to soak.
• Combine onions, carrots, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped (the largest pieces should be about the size of a pea). (Note: If you prefer, you can also finely chop these by hand.)
• Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium heat.
• Add onions, carrots, and garlic with a pinch of salt.
• Saute until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
• Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
• To breadcrumbs and milk, add beef, egg, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
• Top with cooked carrots and onions.
• Using your hands, gently mix everything together until just combined. (Try not to over mix or this will make your meatloaf more tough.)
• Gently shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape and transfer to loaf pan or sheet pan.
• Transfer meatloaf to oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes (use an instant read thermometer if you have it - the center will register 155°F when the meatloaf is done).
• While meatloaf cooks, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard.
• Remove meatloaf when it has about 20 minutes left to cook and spread glaze over top.
• Rest meatloaf for 10 minutes then slice and serve.

SWEET AND SOUR MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, salt, ground black pepper, eggs, onion flakes and 1/2 of the can of tomato sauce. Mix together well and place into a 5x9 inch loaf pan.
• Push the meatloaf down into the pan forming a well for the sauce around all the edges.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining tomato sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, white sugar and mustard. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
• After meatloaf has cooked for 40 minutes, remove from oven and pour sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
• Return to oven and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 more minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before removing from pan.

SWEET AND SIMPLE MEATLOAF SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir all ingredients together.
• If you plan to serve some at the table, set it aside before you baste the raw meatloaf.
• Baste meatloaf before and during cook time.

TANGY MEATLOAF SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir ketchup, chili sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl with a whisk until the sugar dissolves.

SWEET AND SPICY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the green peppers, red peppers and onions until very soft and browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate or baking sheet and refrigerate until cold. (This can be done a day ahead.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix the breadcrumbs, milk and roasted garlic in a bowl; it should have an oatmeal-like consistency. Set aside.
• In another bowl, mix the ketchup, steak sauce, sriracha, maple syrup and steak seasoning. If the sauce is too spicy for you, add a little more ketchup to mellow the heat. Set aside.
• In a bowl, combine the ground beef, sausage, parsley, eggs, pepper-onion mixture and two-thirds of the meatloaf sauce. Mix well, but don't overwork. Take a small ball of the mixture and make a bite-size patty. Saute the patty in a pan until cooked through, then taste. Add salt and pepper to the meatloaf mix as needed.
• When you are happy with the flavor, place the meatloaf mixture in a greased loaf pan, or form it into a log and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven; adjust the oven to a low broil. Brush the top of the loaf with half of the remaining sauce, then return to the oven to caramelize the sauce, 2 to 3 minutes. Let rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with mashed potatoes and a drizzle of the remaining sauce.
