Love your stuff, but this recipe is so sucks it doesn't do you justice. Prison doesn't have the ingredients. Jail is the worst possible place to stay. I am here to make sure you are unhappy
Meatloaf is kitchen sink varity, I like mine half meat and half breakfast sausage along with onion soup, Bell peppers and onions and mushrooms and garlic. Dash of Worcester along with the other fillings
I was a Deputy Sheriff and for my first year I worked in the jail. Big jail. Old fashioned country jail. Big old fashioned country jail. Every Thursday they served meatloaf. The Trustee would bring the chow cart to me with all the individual food trays on it for the tier, and I'd wheel it to the cells. (County jails feed inmates in their cells - we don't have lunch rooms.) Well, sometimes a few inmates don't want the food for a variety of reasons. We Deputies were allowed to dine on any trays not accepted - otherwise it would just be thrown out anyway. I was young and single, living alone - nobody was cooking for me. I was very happy when an inmate declined the chow - it saved me money and the food was good. Always good. But the meatloaf was the best. I got the recipe and I still make it that way 50 years later. Don't forget 1/4 cup Ketchup & 1 Tbsp mustard. Coat the top with ketchup, lay down a few strips of bacon. the rest is the same as shown here.
I made five pounds of meatloaf about a month ago, with the goal of a week or more worth of meals. After about four days the meatloaf had started to dry. I had about two pounds left and couldn't eat another meatloaf sandwich. Not wanting to waste the meatloaf, I started thinking.... A light bulb popped on! Beef stew! I made a stew, sans meat, in a crockpot, diced the meatloaf into 1" cubes and added the meat about one hour prior to finish. Most of the cubes held together, but some dissolved, infusing every bite with meat. The meat lacked all of the negatives of stew meat: It had flavor, and wasn't stringy or tough. It was the best beef stew I've ever had! I think that might qualify as "prison-style" beef stew!
I made this without adding parmesan (too expensive where I live) and I added 1/4 cup of diced red bell pepper I just sautéed together with the onion and garlic. Came out great and juicy, not dry at all. My mom had three plates of it lol. Thanks! :)
I found your channel a few months ago, Bravo for all these amazing recipes!!! I love them so much I can't thank you enough. My family always asks me to make the Spanish Garlic Soup at least once a week! My absolute favorite!
I love your sense of humour, your puns, good and bad. Your videos always give me a chuckle. I also like that you show your mistakes as well as your successes.
I was in county jail, solano ca. food was good in the 2000's then ARAMARK ruined the food, 1 dollar a day to feed an inmate. After 2001, never saw any good food. GARBAGE>Thank god I went to San Quentin.
When i was a kid my mom would visit me at lunch time sometimes and she tried a few bites of the school lunches every once in awhile and she always said that the school food was worse than the food she had when she was in jail :P
Another funny detail about Washington jails, my dad had been part of a work detail for awhile in prison and he said that they used to pick up roadkill for the prison kitchens all the time. It also wasn't uncommon for the cooks to find pieces of plastic, metal, and glass in the meat while they were processing or cooking the "meat".
Richard Woods I find it so incredibly American that you, as a free man, can give detailed yelp reviews of prison food from your time as a prisoner at various correctional facilities
lol I've been teaching college courses in state prisons for 21 years as a volunteer, and got to eat in the correctional officers' cafeteria one semester, which actually had decent food, but the inmates always complained about their food. Will def. try this recipe!
Kia ora from Aotearoa/New Zealand, Chef Hone! There has been a cyclone here, and fresh food has been harder for everyone to get. I am in quite a lucky position, so I try to cook for a couple of hungry families every week or so. Since the butcher had a blend of beef and pork mince on special, I decided to use that for your recipe. It made nearly twice what I estimated, and one of the families sent a message to say it was restaurant quality. Ngā mihi nui!
I've spent so much of my life watching this guy's recipes. He's great and the added comedy makes it even better. Thank you FoodWishes for having such a badass channel !
nice recipe. I make my meatballs this similarly, but if you want to make it healthier, replace half of the bread crumbs with zucchini (asian style are the best since they are not bitter). Just use food processor or dice manually finely. They give out lots of water while cooking making meatballs/loaf super juicy and a lot healthier.
Despite the fact you didn't use your shiv and your honesty about the balsamic sauce, the meat loaf looks incredible. Great cooking "despite the constant physical assaults" :-) Loved!
I started making my meatloaf with a low fat ground chuck and it took me a year or so to realize that the reason my meatloaf didn't taste as good as it had in the past *was because the meat didn't have enough fat in it!* This recipe is a very different version of what I make (that we love)...I think I'll try it as basically just another recipe to add to my collection! Looks good!
Exactly the kind of recipe I think of when I come here to see a professional chef prepare a dish: "special" prison meatloaf... Foreal tho this channel is the best, love these recipes, the simple explanations, and how you help less experienced people and home cooks stress less over appearance and things like that in the cases in which it doesnt change anything for the better anyway.. Keep on keepin' on!
I love meatloaf. I love your version of "meat-ball meatloaf" and plan to cook this tomorrow! I really enjoy your mixture of food-reverence, humor, and teacher-style instruction of your recipes. Keep up your wonderful style and choice of recipes.
Let me know if you need an accomplice/food tester/prison roommate. I promise never to rat you out or spoon with you as long as you dont overcook the meatloaf.
Real prison meatloaf is nothing like this. Chef John made it look way too good. Check out Prison nutriloaf. That's what prisoners in the US are served and it looks. nasty
I made this tooday. Oh, I used very lean ground beef and regular ground pork. Threw in the splash of worcestershire. Made it this morning, actually, and put in fridge, cooked when I got home from work. I used whole wheat bread crumbs, because I dry out heels and so forth, which turned into beautiful crumbs. I forgot the parmesan. I used a combination of ketchup and a very mild salsa for the glaze. It's moist and delicious. Hub loved it with mashed potatoes and gravy and steamed veggies. Thanks, Food Wishes! Even though I am incapable of following a recipe, this is a great jumping off point!
I made this for dinner tonight and use your pizza sauce recipe for the sauce but I forgot to add the eggs to the mixture 😅 but it turns out so delicious still in shapes though even without eggs and my husband loves it. Thanks chef John ❤️
I love Chef John's videos! He's not only funny but the food always looks good and he explain sit in simple enough terms that a dolt like me can follow along.
"By the time we're done, this meatloaf's only gonna be basically half meat. Which is great news for you people that enjoy America's fast food chains" Now that cracked me up.
Chef John I have watched you for some time and you are one of my favorite Chefs but today you made me laugh so much I never knew that you were such a gifted comedian. lol lol lol Please keep up the Great work.
Chef John, we are in lockdown due to Covid-19. Fortunately we prepared with a lot of food (maybe not enough toilet paper) so I made my wife this recipe. She loved it so much she asked me to handcuff her for dessert. She usually doesn’t like dessert. THANK YOU so much! 28 days left but there’s plenty of leftovers ! Bless you!
I have seen your videos during last 5 or 6 years. They are inspiring and different than the other food videos. I think the key ingredient is your honesty and being down to earth. Thanks very much for great food recipes. 👍
The Meatloaf might bring all the Boys from the yard Because they they don't got No money on their Books To Buy Food from commissary . So They hafto Eat it. Barf-a-Licious I'd Say
Your food is delicious and so is your humor, good food with a smile, can't beat that. Thank You! Yea, I said it delicious humor. ENJOY!! We are going through a PANDEMIC good food and a little humor go a long way, I really appreciate it.
@@cerisekarpinski9697 A shiv is a prison knife made from anything an inmate can find and sharpen: a pen, piece of plastic, etc. But can be a noun (object) or a verb (something you can do to a person) you can "shiv" a person. A Shank generally is a term for an object. So you can shiv someone with a shank, but not shank them with a shiv, kwim?
I tried this with ground turkey (85/15). I think the tomato sauce with the turkey was a little overpowering for the turkey flavor (beef holds up better), but good lord was the meatloaf moist and delicious! Your recipe is a home run! Thanks!
In order to make a moist meatloaf, I've taken to using a prepared stuffing (I won't tell you what brand I use, but you make it on TOP of the STOVE). I use the sage flavor. Anyway, I make the stuffing as directed on the package except I cut the amount of margarine in half, as there's plenty of fat in the meat. I use all but perhaps half a cup of the stuffing and make the meatloaf as usual after that, except I omit salt (again, the stuffing has tons of sodium already) and instead of a glaze I make a beefy mushroom gravy and top the meatloaf with that. It's incredibly moist and very delicious.
As a hater of ketchup, I can confirm that the best sauce for meatloaf is half ketchup, half tomato sauce. And I seriously hate ketchup. I don't even eat it with fries.
Thank you so much for confirming what I was guessing. A friend suggested with ketchup and I have made it that way but I never thought to mix it with tomato sauce until I saw in this video he made it with tomato sauce. I was wondering if that would work and so now I'm going to try it that way for sure.
I'm the same way. Ketchup is awful. Just go with tomato sauce. Also, to the other guy in this thread, ketchup with eggs is a crime against nature. You want to taste ketchup then have a ketchup sandwich, don't destroy the flavor of the eggs. I once made a Spanish omelette, potatoes onions flipped pan and all, took me hours to put together and get exactly right, and my guests put ketchup on the side. I'm just sitting there thinking, "Ok, you go with your white trash method of eating eggs while I busted my ass to make this thing and get all the flavors right. Go right ahead. Destroy all the flavor I worked on for the past hour and a half..." I hate being this guy right now, but seriously. Screw ketchup. Eat the food as it's meant to be eaten, don't destroy the flavor with crappy condiments.
A slurry is a thickening term. Cold water is combined to cornstarch/arrowroot until you get a smooth consistency. This is one way to thicken stocks, fumets, soups, and sauces. Roux, singer, and reduction are other thickening methods.
Well, my son made dinner tonight and decided to try this recipe. He has never made, nor eaten meatloaf in his 22 years of life. He did half sirloin, half chuck for a leaner loaf. This was the best meatloaf I have ever had . He absolutely loved it, too. He actually said it was criminal how good the meatloaf was. I agreed that it should be against the law. Great recipe!!!
Interestingly, in certain Greek Islands they do everything the same to a point: they add chopped mint and lots of Cumin (Jeera) lashing it with copious amounts of olive oil and part cooking it under a loose tin foil cover, there is no sauce used at all. As cold cuts it was lovely in a panini type roll with Halloumi, tomato & lettuce. I've cooked this before, using this upload, but substituted Ketchup, honey and hickory smoked BBQ sauce as the sauce it was cooked in. I suppose it's all down to the individual, but I do love this version of meatloaf, Thank you once again.
It would be quite simple to substitute the breadcrumbs with crushed ramen. You could also slice up some Slim Jims and add them to the recipe. Oh and if you want to get fancy, use crushed Doritos for added flavour.
Update, Hi chef John, I tried this recipe today. I used mash and green pees with a mushroom tomato sauce. After a few servings, I must say its very satisfying. I can also add any sauce to my liking. I froze a few servings so I can reheat when ever. Everything you do is a winner.
Check out the recipe: www.allrecipes.com/Recipe/238038/Chef-Johns-Prison-Style-Meatloaf/

Please God , dont ever make be have to eat this "juicy" meatloaf. Goin vegan I am!
You've never been anywhere near a prison.
Love your stuff, but this recipe is so sucks it doesn't do you justice.
Prison doesn't have the ingredients. Jail is the worst possible place to stay. I am here to make sure you are unhappy
Meatloaf is kitchen sink varity, I like mine half meat and half breakfast sausage along with onion soup, Bell peppers and onions and mushrooms and garlic. Dash of Worcester along with the other fillings
I just subscribed due to him admitting he didn't like the sauce, you have to appreciate honesty.
Try his Pork Diablo.
You oughtta subscribe either way

A friend suggested with ketchup and I have made it that way but I never thought to mix it with tomato sauce until I saw in this video he made it with tomato sauce. I was wondering if that would work and so now I'm going to try it that way for sure.
Ketchup's way too sweet for me. Almost like jam.
I've always loathed ketchup and always will.
I'll eat literally everything else.
Seriously, scrambled eggs with ketchup is so amazing. Its a burg thing... 🍔😜
I'm the same way. Ketchup is awful. Just go with tomato sauce. Also, to the other guy in this thread, ketchup with eggs is a crime against nature. You want to taste ketchup then have a ketchup sandwich, don't destroy the flavor of the eggs. I once made a Spanish omelette, potatoes onions flipped pan and all, took me hours to put together and get exactly right, and my guests put ketchup on the side. I'm just sitting there thinking, "Ok, you go with your white trash method of eating eggs while I busted my ass to make this thing and get all the flavors right. Go right ahead. Destroy all the flavor I worked on for the past hour and a half..." I hate being this guy right now, but seriously. Screw ketchup. Eat the food as it's meant to be eaten, don't destroy the flavor with crappy condiments.
I hope your sense of humor never changes!
A slurry is a thickening term. Cold water is combined to cornstarch/arrowroot until you get a smooth consistency. This is one way to thicken stocks, fumets, soups, and sauces. Roux, singer, and reduction are other thickening methods.
I never realized that my Mom was actually a prison warden in disguise. Come to think of it, it all makes sense now.
I'm willing to bet before Chef John made it big with the culinary industry, he had to be a don in some form of organized crime! xD
Illegal spaghetti trade.
LOL
Lt. Mogar , he is a culinary arts instructor in a small college, at least ,that's what's I found out on the internet lol

"Captive audience" LOL!
LOL mass incarceration and the private prison industry is so FUNNY right
Did this with an added sauce on top and threw in some carrots and peppers. Tasted great the tomato sauce really made it special Thanks!!!
Thanks Chef John that was probably one of your best videos
Bring all the boys to your yard... LMFAO! OMG... you're the best chef EVER.
What you call a slurry is actually a panade. I like all of your recipes. Keep 'em coming!
You said "Serve tossed salad" with "Prison MEAT loaf,"

Well, my son made dinner tonight and decided to try this recipe. He has never made, nor eaten meatloaf in his 22 years of life. He did half sirloin, half chuck for a leaner loaf. This was the best meatloaf I have ever had . He absolutely loved it, too.
He actually said it was criminal how good the meatloaf was. I agreed that it should be against the law. Great recipe!!!
Interestingly, in certain Greek Islands they do everything the same to a point: they add chopped mint and lots of Cumin (Jeera) lashing it with copious amounts of olive oil and part cooking it under a loose tin foil cover, there is no sauce used at all. As cold cuts it was lovely in a panini type roll with Halloumi, tomato & lettuce.
I've cooked this before, using this upload, but substituted Ketchup, honey and hickory smoked BBQ sauce as the sauce it was cooked in. I suppose it's all down to the individual, but I do love this version of meatloaf, Thank you once again.
God I love the taste of home...
Smullet90 😂😂😂
Just like momma used to make huh
"... besides the constant physical assaults..." 😂😂😂
Only in Hollywood movies
Hell... I need to stop watching these befor bedtime...
Thanks for the tip about soaking the bread crumbs. I'm going to try that next time.
It does make the meat more tender meatballs to I soak the bread crumbs
@@moondrop879 You see - an old dog CAN learn a new trick. LOL
this is autumn-winter food...I'm making this tonight! Thanks for the great video!
There is nothing “prison” about this if ramen noodles aren’t involved.
It would be quite simple to substitute the breadcrumbs with crushed ramen. You could also slice up some Slim Jims and add them to the recipe. Oh and if you want to get fancy, use crushed Doritos for added flavour.
@@uncaringbear that definitely sounds like a prison meal
Chief Jon baked this meatloaf in the blood of those foolish enough to think fake parma is better.
Should have 'bailed' out on the sauce there.
Update, Hi chef John, I tried this recipe today. I used mash and green pees with a mushroom tomato sauce. After a few servings, I must say its very satisfying. I can also add any sauce to my liking. I froze a few servings so I can reheat when ever. Everything you do is a winner.
I love Chef Johns Humor...always.. Hes the Best !!
