My husband normally HATES meatloaf, but because of the sauce, he loves this one. I usually have left-over sauce after baking. I just sit it to the side for a topping.

AMISH MEATLOAF

I'm not sure what's supposed to be Amish about this recipe, but it is very good. Recipe from a freezer cooking email group. As a note - I generally do not use the bacon at all and I use a brown sugar/ketchup topping rather than the cheese. If you are doing this for the freezer, this can be frozen after assembly, then thawed and baked as directed. Or, cook completely, freeze, thaw and reheat. It's so fast to put together that I generally just make it and serve it the same day.

The recipe has been passed down for generations and is still a staple dish in Amish households today. In this article, we will discuss what Amish meatloaf is, its history, and the various ingredients that are used to make this delicious dish.

History of Amish Meatloaf

The Amish are a group of traditionalist Christians who live in rural communities across North America. They have a unique way of life which revolves around simplicity, hard work, and a strong sense of community. The Amish are known for their simple and wholesome cuisine, which is made using only fresh, natural ingredients. Amish meatloaf has been a part of their traditional cuisine for centuries and is still enjoyed by many.

Ingredients for Amish Meatloaf

The ingredients used in Amish meatloaf are simple and usually consist of ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, milk, ketchup, onions, and green peppers. Some recipes call for additional ingredients such as diced celery, garlic, or Worcestershire sauce. The bread crumbs are typically made from stale bread, which is finely ground and used to bind the meat together. The milk and eggs are also used as binding agents, and the ketchup is added for flavor.

How Amish Meatloaf is Made

To make Amish meatloaf, the first step is to combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, milk, ketchup, onions, and green peppers in a large mixing bowl. The mixture is then seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. Once the ingredients are well combined, the mixture is shaped into a loaf and placed into a baking dish. The meatloaf is then baked in the oven for about an hour or until it is fully cooked. Some recipes call for the meatloaf to be topped with additional ketchup or a brown sugar glaze during the last few minutes of baking.

Variations of Amish Meatloaf

There are many variations of Amish meatloaf that have developed over time. Some recipes call for ground pork or a combination of ground beef and pork, while others use ground turkey or chicken instead. There are also vegetarian versions of Amish meatloaf that use tofu or tempeh as a meat substitute. Some recipes call for additional ingredients such as grated carrots, diced mushrooms, or herbs such as thyme or rosemary. These variations add extra flavor and texture to the meatloaf, making it even more delicious.

Serving Suggestions for Amish Meatloaf

Amish meatloaf is usually served as a main dish for lunch or dinner. It is often accompanied by mashed potatoes, green beans, and a side salad. Leftover meatloaf can be used to make sandwiches or served as a cold cut for lunch.
In Conclusion
In conclusion, Amish meatloaf is a traditional dish that has been enjoyed by generations of Amish families. It is made using simple, natural ingredients and is easy to make at home. There are many variations of Amish meatloaf that have developed over time, each with its own unique twist. Amish meatloaf is a delicious and wholesome meal that is sure to satisfy any appetite.
Meatloaf, a classic American dish, is one of the most loved and prepared dishes across the world. The dish is simple to make, versatile, and satisfying. One of the most famous variations of meatloaf recipes is the Amish meatloaf recipe. Amish meatloaf recipes are unique because they often contain simple, wholesome ingredients that create a comforting and delicious meal. In this article, we will discuss essential tips for making Amish meatloaf recipes.

Tip 1: Choose the Right Meat

Choosing the right meat is crucial when making Amish meatloaf recipes. You can opt for different types of meat, but high-fat content meat, such as ground beef, pork, or lamb, usually works best. However, ensure that the meat's fat content is not too high, or it may lead to a greasy taste and not hold its shape during baking. Thus, opt for something that is lean, but still with some fat content, such as 90/10 ground beef. Moreover, some Amish meatloaf recipes call for ground turkey, which is another excellent option if you are looking for a healthier and leaner meat option.

Tip 2: Use Fresh Ingredients

The key to making a fantastic dish is using fresh, high-quality ingredients. Therefore, it is best to use fresh ingredients when making Amish meatloaf. This means using freshly grated onions, minced garlic, and fresh herbs instead of dried ones. Fresh ingredients will enhance the dish's flavor and aroma and give the meatloaf that homemade taste that makes it so special.

Tip 3: Use a Binder

A binder is an ingredient that holds the ingredients together in a meatloaf. It is an essential component for ensuring that your meatloaf holds its shape and doesn't fall apart while baking. Common binders used in Amish meatloaf recipes include eggs, breadcrumbs, and oats. Ground pork rinds or almond flour can also serve as a low-carb binder. Eggs are often the most common binder in meatloaf recipes. They help the meatloaf hold together and have a fluffy texture.

Tip 4: Add Vegetables

Adding vegetables to your Amish meatloaf will give it an extra boost of nutrients and flavor. Vegetables such as grated carrots, chopped onions, and minced garlic can add a sweetness and depth of flavor to the dish. In addition, using vegetables such as grated zucchini or cauliflower rice can boost the nutritional content of the dish while still keeping it healthy.

Tip 5: Incorporate Cheese

Amish meatloaf recipes often call for the inclusion of cheese. Cheese adds an extra layer of flavor, texture, and creaminess to the dish. Depending on the recipe, different types of cheese can be used. Cheddar, Parmesan, and American cheese are popular choices that work well with Amish meatloaf. They add an extra layer of creaminess and richness, making the dish irresistible.

Tip 6: Spices and seasoning

Spices and seasoning are the most crucial element in an Amish meatloaf recipe. The right spices will elevate the dish's flavors and make it more enjoyable. Cumin, Cayenne pepper, and chili powder are some of the most popular spices used in meatloaf recipes. These spices will add depth and heat to the dish. Other common herbs and spices include parsley, thyme, and rosemary. They add a freshness and herby flavor that will make your meatloaf taste even better.

Tip 7: Use a Meatloaf Pan

Using a meatloaf pan is essential when making Amish meatloaf. A meatloaf pan will help your meatloaf cook evenly and hold its shape. A meatloaf pan is typically rectangular and has a perforated top that allows the fat to drain away during the cooking process. Not using a meatloaf pan may lead to greasy meatloaf or one that falls apart during baking.

Tip 8: Let the Meatloaf Rest

Once you have cooked the Amish meatloaf, let it rest outside for a few minutes before serving. This resting period enables the juices to settle back into the meatloaf, making it tender and juicy. Additionally, cutting into the meatloaf too soon may cause it to fall apart or become dry.

Conclusion

Amish meatloaf recipes are a classic American dish that is easy to make and offers a delicious and wholesome meal. Hopefully, these tips will help you create a perfect Amish meatloaf recipe that everyone in your family will love. Remember to choose the right meat, use fresh ingredients, add vegetables, cheese, seasoning, use a meatloaf pan, and let it rest. Enjoy!
