Best Easy Peasy No Fuss Meatloaf Recipes

EASY OLD FASHIONED MEATLOAF

Easy Old Fashioned Meatloaf image

No fancy ingredients here... Not like we need another meatloaf recipe, but I figured I'd should post my Grandma's for people like me who like a quick easy meatloaf without a lot of fuss. Most of the meatloaves I saw here had things I'd never even consider putting in a meatloaf! :) At times I will substitute the onion with approx. 1/4 cup dried onion flakes. I also have substituted the garlic with garlic powder. I've never tried making it with horseradish. (I was a notoriously picky eater as a kid so I don't think Grandma put it in when I came to visit either.) I usually don't bother beating the egg... (Boy do I sound lazy! Don't tell Mom! LOL!) I've only recently started putting ketchup on the top before baking, so I don't think it's necessary to keep the meatloaf moist. Mom used to use her own dried bread crumbs, but I use the plain storebought kind. I haven't been adventurous enough to try any flavored bread crumbs... Make sure lean ground beef is used otherwise the meatloaf can get too greasy and/or bubble over the pan while baking. I also recommend checking the center to make sure it's done. On occasion it has taken over an hour to bake.

"BETTER THAN BEEF" MEATLESS MEATLOAF

Thanks to caramelized brown onions, there's some real magic going on in this meatless meatloaf! Despite having no beef in it, it's super savory with a meaty texture and flavor. With just enough binder to keep it together, it's slightly crumbly, but still melt-in-your-mouth tender and moist. Serve with mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy.

Time 2h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 26

Ingredients

4 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds brown mushrooms, sliced
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
½ cup diced yellow onion
¼ cup diced celery
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons beef base (such as Better than Bouillon®)
¼ cup water
1 cup cooked black lentils
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons ketchup
½ cup fine dry bread crumbs
⅔ cup rolled oats
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Very generously grease a loaf pan.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add mushrooms and 1 teaspoon kosher salt and sauté until nicely browned and juices have evaporated, about 10 minutes. Stir in onion and cook until soft, another 5 to 7 minutes.
Add celery, tomato paste, and beef base; cook and stir until tomato paste begins to toast on the bottom of the pan, about 3 minutes. Stir in water and turn off the heat; let sit for about 3 minutes.
Transfer mushroom mixture into a food processor. Add cooked lentils and pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
Transfer to a mixing bowl and add eggs, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, thyme, cayenne, ketchup, bread crumbs, oats, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Transfer mixture into the prepared loaf pan, then wrap with foil and place on a sheet pan.
Bake in the center of the preheated oven until firm to the touch, about 1 hour.
Remove the loaf from the oven and place on a wire rack. Remove the foil and place it on the baking sheet. Grease the foil with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Let the loaf sit for 10 to 15 minutes, and increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
While the loaf is resting, make the glaze: Whisk ketchup, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar together in a small bowl.
Invert the loaf onto the foil and spread glaze all over the surface, mostly on the top but some on the sides.
Return to the oven and bake until the glaze is cooked on, 15 to 20 minutes.
Carefully transfer the loaf onto a cutting board. Cut into 6 slices and serve.

Easy Peasy No Fuss Meatloaf image

I've had this recipe since my boys were very small and at that time they did not like anything in their meatloaf so this is what I made them. I gave this recipe to my BFF and he made it last night and he said wow this is great and easy and it turned out fantastic. He was a proud camper and no help from me. So if you are looking...

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 lb ground sirloin
1 lb ground white chicken
2 eggs
2 pkg dry onion soup mix (lipton)
1 c dry bread crumbs (i make my own)
1/2 c ketchup
1 tsp mustard
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 can(s) diced tomatoes (14.5) with juice

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350* Now combine all ingredients in bowl except for Ketchup Mustard and brown sugar. Fold together gently
2. Grease a 9x13 pan bottom only and form your shape of meatloaf in it. Put in oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes
3. Now mix the glaze together in bowl and brush on top of the meatloaf and put back in oven for 15-17 minutes till it starts to bubble
4. Take out of oven let rest at least 10 minutes before cutting. If you do not use ground sirloin and use a cheaper meat, this will cause excessive grease and then you will want to take meatloaf out immediately and put on platter to rest
