DUTCH MEATLOAF FROM 1948

Steps:

• 1. Mix first 7 ingredients together well and form into a loaf. NOTE: if you soak the bread crumbs in about a half cup of warm water for a bit before adding to the meatloaf, it makes it moist and a little more dense.
• 2. Mix topping ingredients together well and pour over meatloaf. Bake 350 for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until meatloaf is done.

DUTCH MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Using a large spoon, combine onion, 8-oz tomato sauce, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper.
• Add ground beef, mixing with hands.
• Form into a loaf and place into a casserole dish, preferrably one with a lid. I like to poke a few holes into the top of the loaf so some of the sauce can get down into the loaf itself.
• In a bowl, whisk together water, 8-oz tomato sauce, mustard, brown sugar, and vinegar.
• Pour half of the mixture over the loaf. Cover the casserole dish with the lid, and bake the meatloaf for 1 1/2 hours. Baste at least once.
• Pour the remaining mixture into a saucepan and bring to a simmer, allow sauce to reduce until about as thick as tomato sauce. This takes about 20 minutes.
• Allow meatloaf to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Pour thickened sauce over slices to serve.

DUTCH'S EASY-EASY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• 1. Make a Meatloaf to your favorite recipe, omitting any bread or cracker crumbs.
• 2. Crush the pork rinds in a Ziplock bag w/ a rolling pin until they're coarse powder.
• 3. Substitute the crushed pork rind for whatever you used as your binder. Same consistency as what you normally make.
• 4. Either bake it in an oven or do as I did, use a greased stoneware Bundt pan and into the microwave for 15~17min on high, checking at the 3/4 mark for doneness. You can use a food thermometer or an old Chef's trick if you like. Stick a BBQ stick/skewer into the center and quickly put it under your lower lip. If it's HOT, you're most likely done. You can always stick it back in for a minute or two.
• 5. The reason for this method? I have a buddy that loves meatloaf. He does NOT like breading or crackers of any kind in it. I told him "You HAVE to have some binder to help it hold together". I agonized and then a light bulb flashed!!! :-) You can't tell that pork rind is in there. Holds well and slices fine for those wonderful fried in butter thin slices for sandwiches the next day. So your arteries scream! So WHAT! :-)

DUTCH MEATLOAF A.K.A. "MINCE MUTTISCHEN"

Steps:

• Mix the meat with the chopped soup vegetables.
• These should be very finely chopped!
• Chop up the onion and mince the garlic and mix with rest.
• Beat the egg, when yolk and white are well mixed, mix it with the meat.
• Add the salt, pepper, curry and paprika powder.
• Make crumbs of a slice of bread and add these.
• Now wash your hands, take of any rings you're wearing and start kneading the mixture well.
• The mixture shouldn't be too dry nor too moist.
• If too dry, add a little milk, of too moist, add more breadcrumbs.
• When kneaded, form two smaller loafs.
• Make sure they are firm.
• Then melt the butter into a large, deep pan that can be covered.
• The butter must be very dark before you put in the loafs.
• Be careful.
• Now you need to stay with your food for a while, turning it every so often until the meat has a brown crust all around.
• Then add a little water, make the sauce boil and lower the heat.
• The loafs should simmer for about an hour and need to be turned about every 15 minutes.
• Great with Mashed potatoes and red cabbage.

DUTCH OVEN BBQ MEATLOAF RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Place ground beef and oatmeal in a bowl and mix together until all oatmeal is incorporated. Add onion and mix again. Set aside for at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile: In a separate bowl, mix tomato sauce, brown sugar and mustard until color is even. (If preparing ahead, store meat mixture and sauce separately until ready to cook.) Break egg and pour over ground beef and mix together. Add half of sauce to meat and mix thoroughly. (This meatloaf is soft and juicy when unbaked, but firms up when cooked.) Form meat into loaf about one inch smaller all directions than dish to be cooked in. Place loaf in center of dutch oven liner pan. Pour about a third of the remaining sauce over the meat. Place bacon strips over the sauce. Cover with remaining sauce. (Note: The sauce should coat the loaf, with the extra sauce settling to the bottom of the pan.) Assemble dutch oven as shown in diagram above. Place coals both on top and bottom of oven. Start with about 8 to 10 coals under the oven and about 15 to 20 on the top of the oven. (If cooking indoors, merely place liner pan in oven.) Bake in dutch oven for one hour at 350F. If making multiple recipes, increase cooking time. The best way to tell when the loaf is finished is by texture and temperature, as the meat will retain a slight red tinge from the sauce even when cooked.
