Q: I grew up on meatloaf as a kid. What's a good recipe for me to make for my kids?
A: (Ask DIY Cooking expert Paul Sturkey) When I was growing up, my mom had a great twist on meatloaf. She grilled it! Here's a similar recipe. Ingredients:
3 eggs
3/4 cup ketchup or barbecue sauce
3 Tbs. Creole mustard or any strong mustard
1/4 cup onion, small dice
3 Tbs. garlic, minced
1/4 cup celery, diced
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground veal or lean pork
1 Tbs. Lea & Perrin's Worcestershire sauce
2 cups cornflakes
Buyer's guide: Zataran's Creole Mustard is "the best in the world," Chef Paul says.
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a glass bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Stir in the next eight seasoning ingredients (figure A), from ketchup to parsley.
- Add the two meats and work the mixture together with your hands. Mix in the cornflakes and the Worcestershire sauce. Safety alert: Always wash your hands after using them to mix anything with raw eggs or meat, which can carry bacteria.
- Press the meat mixture into a nonstick loaf pan, preferably 9 by 5 by 2. Bake the meatloaf in a 350-degree oven for an hour to an hour and 10 minutes. If you have a pocket thermometer, take the meatloaf out when it registers 160 degrees internally.
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes. Chill the meatloaf, still in the pan, in the refrigerator for at least six hours, or preferably overnight. Turn the meatloaf out of the pan. It should be firm. Cut it into 3/4-inch slices, like store-bought bread.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan. Brush both sides of each slice of meatloaf lightly with olive oil. Grill the meatloaf slices for two to three minutes on each side ( figure B) until they have grilling stripes and are reheated.
Serve the grilled slices with mashed potatoes and steamed green beans. Garnish with grilled onions and then ladle brown or mushroom gravy or barbecue sauce over the meatloaf.
