MEATLOAF WITH CHICKPEAS



Meatloaf With Chickpeas image

This recipe intrigued me because it had all the ingredients I liked, plus the fact that I would be getting more fiber in the meal. The chickpeas are "hidden" in the meat loaf, so a bonus for anyone who does not like beans. I am not a big fan of ketchup, so next time I may try chili sauce....(mind you, the other ingredients masked the taste quite well). As I was cooking for my DH and myself, I divided the meat mixture into 2 smaller loaf pans and froze one. The loaf was quite moist, so freshly ground up flaxseed ( 2 T - 1/4 cup) could be an option that I might use for the next time.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic, chopped
1 lb lean ground beef
2 cups chickpeas, finely chopped
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
1/2 cup chili sauce or 1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon red pepper sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
2 1/4 tablespoons flax seeds (optional)
2 tablespoons chili sauce or 2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • In a food processor, puree onion with garlic. In a large bowl, combine onion mixture, beef, chickpeas, breadcrumbs, egg, chili sauce, mustard, Worcestershire, hot pepper sauce, cumin, salt, pepper and parsley. Knead together lightly.
  • Transfer to a 9 - 5 loaf pan and smooth top. Bake in at 350°F oven for 45 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted into centre of loaf reads at least 160°F.
  • To prepare topping, combine chili sauce with mustard; spread over the loaf. Bake, uncovered for 30 minutes.
  • Note: For smaller portions, divide the loaf into 2 smaller loaf pans. Cooking time is the same. I used the food processor to chop up the chickpeas. I am not a fan of store bought (dried out) bread crumbs, so I used 3 slices of flax seed bread. Regular or whole wheat bread could be used.

BILL BLASS'S MEATLOAF



Bill Blass's Meatloaf image

This homespun, bacon-wrapped version of the American classic is attributed to Bill Blass, the world-famous clothing designer of the 60s, 70s and 80s, who is perhaps best known for dressing First Lady Nancy Reagan and the upper echelons of New York society. While he became hugely successful - he reportedly sold his business for $50 million in 1999 - his culinary tastes remained firmly Midwestern. From his 2002 obituary in The Times: "A man of robust but simple tastes who would go out of his way for a hamburger, Mr. Blass would serve guests his own meatloaf recipe, followed perhaps by lemon meringue pie. He always maintained, only partly in jest, 'My claim to immortality will be my meatloaf.'" This is his recipe.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup chopped celery
1 onion, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
2 pounds ground beef sirloin
1/2 pound ground veal
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 egg
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups Heinz chili sauce
3 slices bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan. In a heavy skillet over medium heat, saute the celery and onion in the butter until soft, about 5 minutes. Scrape into a large mixing bowl and cool.
  • When the onions are cool enough to handle, add the meats, parsley, sour cream, bread crumbs, thyme, marjoram and salt and pepper to the bowl. Whisk the egg with the Worcestershire sauce and add to the mixture. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, combine the mixture and mold into the shape of a loaf.
  • Place the meatloaf in the prepared pan. Top with the chili sauce and bacon slices. Bake until firm and nicely browned, about 1 hour.

BILL'S FAVORITE MEATLOAF



Bill's Favorite Meatloaf image

Am recording this recipe because my husband loves this variation (and I may forget what I added the next time I make it)! It is a very simple meatloaf, but gets rave reviews from my husband and guests (including picky eaters). I use a loaf pan to shape the meatloaf, and unmold it onto a broiler pan to reduce fat.
