GRANDMA'S FAMOUS MEATLOAF WITH SALTINES



Grandma's Famous Meatloaf with Saltines image

This is the recipe my grandmother used to make her meatloaf. Most notably it doesn't have any sort of sauce coating the top as is called for in many meatloaf recipes. My family enjoys it this way but I'm relatively certain that any standard meatloaf sauce would do if you want one.

Categories     Meatloaf

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 meatloaf, 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb ground beef
2 eggs
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
1 onion, chopped (Optional, I usually omit it or use a teaspoon of dried minced onion. You also don't need the whole o)
2 -3 tablespoons ketchup, heaping
1 tablespoon yellow mustard, heaping
1 cup saltine crumbs, crushed. (This is usually most of one sleeve of saltines.)

Steps:

  • Mix all together; I generally use my hands.
  • Form mixture into a loaf shape.
  • Put in a baking dish (I use a pie plate).
  • Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
  • NOTE: I always put a little water in my pan. I've never done it any other way, so I don't know what would result if you don't.

Time 1h32m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20 or 85/15)
20 saltine crackers, crushed
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1 large egg
1 teaspoon​ paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon​ Worcestershire sauce
For Topping:
1/2 to 3/4 cup ketchup or barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients. Pre-heat the oven to 350 F.
  • Grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan or line it with foil and then lightly grease it. Alternatively, for a free-form loaf, line a rimmed baking pan with foil.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the crushed saltines, onion, green pepper, egg, paprika, garlic powder, salt, thyme, black pepper, 1/3 cup of ketchup , milk, and Worcestershire sauce .
  • Pack the meat mixture into the loaf pan or shape it and place it on the baking pan.
  • Bake the meatloaf for 1 hour. Carefully pour excess grease into a can or jar (dispose of it in the trash after it cools).
  • Spread the meatloaf with 1/2 to 3/4 cup of ketchup or barbecue sauce and continue baking for 15 minutes longer, or until the meatloaf registers at least 160 F on an instant-read food thermometer inserted into the center. (If you have instead swapped ground turkey or chicken for the beef, cook the loaf to an internal temperature of 165 F.)
  • Let the meatloaf rest for ten minutes before slicing so it holds together well. Then, serve and enjoy!

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 14

Olive oil for brushing
30 saltine crackers
2 1/2 pounds ground beef (85 percent lean)
1 large yellow onion (10 ounces)
1 large carrot (5 ounces)
2 medium cloves garlic
1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 large eggs
1 cup ketchup, divided
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, divided
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, then fit the sheet with a wire rack. Brush a 10-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan with olive oil and place on rack; set aside. Place saltines in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade; pulse until fine crumbs form. You should have about 1 cup crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl and add ground beef.
  • On the large holes of a box grater, grate carrot (should measure 1 cup grated) and onion (about 2/3 cup grated). Drain excess juice from onion. Add carrot and onion to meat mixture, then grate garlic on the fine holes of the grater (1 teaspoon). Add to bowl along with parsley, eggs, 1/2 cup ketchup, Worcestershire, 1 tablespoon Dijon, salt and pepper. Use hands to combine thoroughly. Transfer to prepared loaf pan.
  • Combine remaining 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon Dijon and brown sugar in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and no sugar lumps remain.
  • Spread mixture evenly over top of meatloaf. Place in oven, atop wire rack and bake until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Tent with foil if top begins to brown too quickly. Remove from oven and let cool 1 hour before slicing. Serve.

YUMMY MEATLOAF



Yummy Meatloaf image

What makes this meatloaf so good is how you cook it! It's very important to cook this in a baking dish rather than a loaf pan. The grease will drain from the meatloaf this way, and it will be firmer and taste better.
