    Honestly your meatloaf is more like my Mom’s. She didn’t serve it with gravy. Her meatloaf and meatball mixture is the same. She put onions, peppers, sometimes mushrooms, always grated cheese. She used fresh and dry herbs. No pastes or blends. She added an extra egg. Somehow it lightens the mixture making a crust and fluffy inside. The other difference is she did not use bread crumbs. She soak bread in water or milk, squeezed it and add that. Again her meatloaf was moist inside. No glaze or gravy. We loved the outer crunchy bits. With her meatballs, same mixture and she dropped them raw into the pot of homemade tomato sauce. The sauce simmered for three hours. Meatballs went in last hour. The longer you cook it, the sweeter the tomatoes. No sugar needed. No tomato paste. Too much acid. No baking or frying first. Dropping them raw allows sauce to get flavor from meatballs and meatballs absorb the moisture of the tomato sauce.
    The best of both it the next day. Fresh fluffy white bread, Mayo and a healthy slice of cold meatloaf or meatballs. Only better sandwich is a thanksgiving sandwich. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    My meatloaf is made with a pack of onion soup, chopped garlic in the jar from the produce section; pepper, got to have pepper, especially fresh, cracked pepper; two eggs, and a little bit of water, just a little bit. I also top mine with ketchup. I don’t make mine with gravy for some reason. I like it with ketchup and put it in the oven and then pour extra ketchup over it to brown yummy!! 😊

    I’m from socal and my family is Italian American and Mexican. My Mexican mom was taught how to make meatloaf by my American Italian grandma. She makes it exactly the new style way but instead of sour cream she uses milk and instead of Boursin she used herbs and garlic. We always had a ketchup/tomato paste worstechire and mustard crust. No gravy. And it’s my favorite in the world. We would have it with baked sweet potatos and salad. My grandmother was born in 1930 in Detroit to Sicilian immigrant and French Canadian immigrant parents. I have never seen meatloaf with gravy I have heard of it with mash and gravy but I always thought it was a southern thing.

The older version was more time consuming as I had to sauté the raw veggies. You did not do that in the new version. This will be my new go to meatloaf recipe ( no more Mom’s meatloaf for me).🤗

A few years ago, I made one using a recipe by the late Michael Chiarello. His also had bell pepper and Parmesan cheese, ingredients which I didn't typically use in my typical meatloaf recipe, and it was pretty good. I look forward to trying yours.

    I sauté the onions with olive oil and butter and let them cool to room temp, then add to mixture. I also soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding to the mixture. Try putting the meatloaf under the oven broiler at the end for a minute to crisp up the top. It adds another flavor to it.

  • @katsleggsful
    @katsleggsful 8 місяців тому

    My mom's and now my meatloaf is closer to yours. BUT, instead ofbreadcrumbs, she always used crushed Corn Flakes. No dairy in it, just egg, onion, bell pepper, ketchup, tomato sauce, s&p and in later years garlic/onion powder. Her glaze was the leftover tomato sauce, ketchup & sugar, garnished with bell pepper flowers.
    I changed that basic recipe up a bit with more modern spice choices, honey instead of sugar, and vary the bread crumbs to anything from panko to Italian seasoned. I am going back to Corn Flakes this week, just something nostalgic about it. Oh yeah, my family is originally from NC, so I agree with another commenter that thered sauce is likely a regional thing, I bet! I am going to try your recipe soon .... Very much up my alley in terms of flavor combos and modernizing an old classic! Thanks for the inspiration you give! 🙂

    I'll try the new school style but I love my old style meat loaf (but has always been the tomato/ketchup glaze). Here's some preferences I have for the old school recipe though: onions and other veggies are sauteed in minced garlic first before mixing with the hamburger. I carmelizes them and sweetens them up and takes the rawness out of them. Also, I know everyone uses bread crumbs BUT I HATE BREADCRUMBS in my meatloaf and meatballs. I get that its supposed to be a binder but I think it contributes to the dryness some people find in some meatloafs and I've found that it isn't necessary to bind the mixture together....my perception is that it tastes like filler that takes away from the ground beef, akin to a bad fast food burger patty.
    Your recipe looks interesting but I'm not a bell pepper guy so never adding them in (I don't like a crunchy veg in my meatloaf whether it be bell pepper or onion...that's why I sautee my vegs first). The boursin cheese addition looks interesting but that's a big cost to add to the total meal budget (probably almost doubles the cost). I like the idea of adding some parmesan and if sour cream adds some moisture I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the recipe twist.

    Can you create a Buffalo chicken meatloaf (add ingredients to make it better):
    Ground chicken, bacon, grated onions, green onions, plablano peppers, Boursin Cheese, cream cheese, roasted garlic, W- Sauce, hot sauce/ ranch dressing mix, ranch seasonings pack w/ MMH all purpose seasoning, egg and bread crumbs.
    Skillet some cheese to top over finished product with a drizzle of ranch, drizzle hot sauce and add some green onion to top.

    I like the traditional way. I do like it with a glaze and gravy from time to time. But most of the time our mama’s knew what they were doing when it came to food.
    Both of yours look good too tho!

    The meatloaf I make I use 85% burger. Vidalia onions, panko bread crumbs, garlic, and two eggs. My sauce is ketchup, chili sauce, and brown sugar 😋 I am however going to try your way. Don't know that I would like the Salisbury steak way, as I do not like Salisbury steak lol.

    I make my meat loaf like your favorite, my mother in-law bless her soul made it a lot like yours, minus the cheese and sour cream. I will try your method and see how the wife likes it without telling her. lol thanks for sharing it look top notch for sure. I would eat either though.

    Ur version is by far THE best meatloaf I've ever made. I do my own lil thing with seasoning to make it my own but adding the sour cream is TOP TIER next level and I'll never ever make a meatloaf without it !!! I loooovveeee you style of cooking. Truth be told, I'm an amazing cook and I'm tryin to find my flow to be able to walk people thru what I do and start making content but although I'm a great cook, I'm a terrible teacher. Lol. But you. Kimmie and chop have inspired me to get over myself and MAKE IT HAPPEN !!! ( pun intended) lol

    My family's traditional way of making meatloaf was definitely made with a tomato base not a brown gravy. I prefer a meatloaf with a tomato base.
