One tip for the summer when you want yummy meatloaf but don't want to heat up the oven (and your whole kitchen) is to mix up your meatloaf as you would normally but instead of baking it in a pan, form your meatloaf mixture into patties and either grill or pan fry them. Serve them on a bun or on two slices of your favorite bread like a meatloaf sandwich or just on a plate with a microwaved baked potato and a green vegetable or salad. Bonus is you can get hubby to do some of the heavy lifting if you can get him to grill the meatloaf patties! My mom substituted part of the hamburger with sausage (maybe 1/4 - 1/3). It gives the meatloaf a bit more of a spicy taste, especially if you use Italian sausage and then she always used saltine cracker crumbs and a couple of beaten eggs as her binders. No cheese or ketchup but she would add onion and sometimes a green pepper, depending upon what she happen to have around. I swear she never made her meatloaf the same way twice and it was terrible trying to get her to write a recipe of it. She was always one of those cooks who added a little of this and a little of that to her recipes. They were always delicious but never exactly the same way twice. But it was always delicious and the leftovers were made into meatloaf sandwiches the next day!
My mom did about 1/2 pound pork sausage to 1 pound meatloaf. I think it was a popular way to do it in the fifties and sixties (the latter of which I was privy to).
@@MandyintheMakingI didn't know about the Special pan for Meatloaf but I've used a Bread pan for years. But I also used to use a Cooking bag when cooking some Veggies on side of the Meatloaf. Cut up some Potatoes, Baby Carrots and some Celery. That's the my Grandma did it.
Being that I live alone, I used to never make meatloaf. Even though I love it, there would just be too much leftover. Then I had a revelation! 😂 I made mini meatloaves, ate one that night, and then I wrapped and froze the rest. Now I can have a mini meatloaf once a week without all the prep and mess! 😀
I’m speechless, this is the best meatloaf I’ve ever made…or tasted for that matter! I made the Cracker Barrel recipe. I used three pounds of meat and adjusted the other ingredients accordingly. My entire family devoured it! Thank you!!
My family makes a meatloaf you didn’t try but it’s very simple. Ground meat- I use Bison, Lipton onion soup mix, saltine crackers, egg, ketchup, garlic and pepper to taste. Sometimes i put in a little corn. We don’t really add salt to anything and I’m sure there is plenty in the soup mix and the crackers. Cook as normal, add Ketchup to the top at the end and let it brown up. I might add some dub sauce next time because you inspired me with that. We shall see. Enjoy!
You just answered my spicy question lol. I don’t like spicy so I think the chipotle receipe is a go lol. By the way I’ve been watching for at least 2 years. Just feel like you guys are our friends. Such a comfy warm hearted channel Mandy. Happy belated anniversary ❤
I worked at Cracker barrel for several years. I don't make exactly the same, but I do use the bell peppers, onions, and tomato sauce. It is literally the only meatloaf my husband, who is very choosie, will eat. 😊
Mandy, I hate touching raw hamburger when making meatloaf too. I make the panade with the dry crumbs, egg, milk, and seasonings first. Then when I add the burger, I use a fork to "fluff" it and break it up as I incorporate the other ingredients. This also helps keep the meatloaf light rather than dense.
I've never seen that kind of meatloaf pan. Thank you for telling us about it. I spend a lot of time alone so I'm so happy to find your channel. It's a lot of company for me. You and your family are adorable. I hope you keep up the great work. Thanks, Kat from Kentucky
I love meatloaf. I really like it hot with mashed potatoes and green beans. But, my favorite is cold meatloaf sandwiches. They are one of my favorite things.
We love meatloaf here as well. Making sure the husband and older son are happy with my favorite food is important! Thanks for all the ideas😊. I just love when Steven says, love your shirt! So sweet of a moment!
I line my baking pan with 2 slices of bread. Sit the meatloaf right on top of the bread. It soaks up any grease from the meat. Discard the bread. Good to go! 👍🥰
Yes I did know, I bought my several years ago and I love how the grease goes to the bottom of the pan, I line mine on the bottom and sides with aluminum foil, huge clean up hack, no mess in the pan!
Our favorite is cheese stuffed bacon wrapped with pork and beef mixed and its amazing! I usually add small diced jalapeno and onion to the mix along with the usual breadcrumb, milk, egg etc.
My daughter isn’t a fan of meatloaf unless I make Italian Meatloaf. It has Italian seasoning in the meat mix and instead of breadcrumbs, I use crushed up fried onions (like the ones that go on green bean casserole). And I make a channel of mozzarella on the middle of the meatloaf. It’s so good!
I’ve made the mini bbq bacon cheddar meatloaves in mini loaves pans & my entire family loves them!!! I got my mini loaf pans at Walmart in the Pioneer Woman line & they work absolutely perfect!!!
Loved this video! We are also meatloaf lovers. On really hot summer days I'm not a fan of putting the oven on, so I'll mix up my meatloaf as usual and form meatloaf patties and take my oversize electric skillet outside and cook them that way. It takes less than half the time & doesn't heat up the kitchen. 😊
They all looked amazing!!! I have to say that I don’t think I’ve ever made meatloaf the same way twice 😁 I am one of seven kids and my mom taught me to use what you have on hand, which basically meant , use any leftovers you have!! It always comes out great!!
A little tip for when ur making meatloaf (or meatballs) if u want to check and make sure it seasoning is on point before baking the whole thing, break off a little piece and flatten it out and cook it in a sauteed pan...it's super quick then u can taste and check for seasoning. Once I learned that trick I do it everytime to make sure I don't need to add something.
Mandy I sure hope you read this - we come from the mountains of Western North North Carolina - I love your posts - you and your husband is for me like watching Ozzie and Harriet on TV - such joy! I would watch you two even if I did not try your recipes. I love you guys I cried when you lost your cheese lovin kitty - yes Mam I sure did. You'all should have your own TV show -- better than Paula Dean!!!~~ We live on Amelia Island in Northern Florida now and love it- You all are so cute together WONDERFUL!!!! And I should say -yes - I do try your recipes.
May I suggest you put your meatloaf pan on a small rimmed baking sheet and then habituate yourself to pulling that tray out of hot oven. That’s what I did and it worked well. !
I have become addicted to Amazon, especially when it comes to kitchen gadgets (which I became addicted to when I retired from teaching and took up cooking 😮)-and imojies-I’m 72, and never heard of a Meatloaf pan! Thanks Mandy! Another box for Kathy!!❤😊
Hi Mandy. This was great! I love meatloaf. One of my sons prefers a gravy rather than the red sauce. I got really excited about this because coincidentally I sent in a meatloaf recipe for Subbie Supper last week. 😁 I hope that you will give it a try. Thanks for sharing as always.🤗💕
😊Mandy, Mandy, Mandy!❤ I love your channel, I love you and Steven, I love how real you are in the kitchen and all the recipes you share. But I had to comment today because I also REALLY love my new, Misen knife. My 20-plus year favorite chef knife finally bit the dust and I wasn't sure how I was going to find one that I like. Then I remembered your recommendation. It is beautifully designed, feels great in the hand looks sleek, is an incredible value and I honestly believe this knife could serve me the rest of my life if I take good care of it. Thank you for the amazing recommendation and wonderful content.❤
Live for your videos. You and Stephen are pure entertainment.. I have tried several of your recipes and everyone of them I’ve tried. I have been a huge fan. Thank you for doing what you do.
Oh!! My daughter is taking that vitamins too. My granddaughter she’s 7 years old now taking them too. Thank you for sharing Mandy. God bless you all.🙏🙏🙏❤️
Mandy girl, u just keep my best of recipe collection growing! I think the Cracker Barrel one will be the first & Rita Crackers will make the texture perfect! Thx much! 💝
I used to use my bare hands to mix my meatloaf. Not anymore. I wear gloves and I wet the gloves under running water before I start. It helps keep the meat from building up on the gloves. If you want to use your bare hands, then soak your hands before mixing. Periodically put some water on the gloves or your hands to keep them cleaner (just wet them).
I love making any meatloaf recipe in muffin tins because they freeze so well. When it's just one or two of you, planning for leftovers is important. The taco meatloaf sounds amazing and I'd be tempted to use it over in tacos with refried beans or rolled up in larger tortillas with enchilada sauce as an encore.
Got another one for you to try. Being in Texas, this is a Texas thang. Very simple...use 2-3 lbs of 80/20 ground beef; mix well with 8-16 oz of Pace Picante Sauce (depending on how much ground beef you used), bread crumbs, egg, and a small amount of wash-your-sister sauce (not even 1 T, maybe just 2 tsp). Bake for 45 minutes, remove and cover with Whataburger spicy ketchup. Cook for another 20 minutes to set the ketchup.
I LOVE MARYRUTH’S!!! I’ve been taking them for about two years now. They help me so much. I used to not like meatloaf bc I’m not a fan of bbq sauce or tomatoes 😢 but I make it more with a brownish gravy/sauce on it and it’s delicious. Love your videos and family ❤
So I have to confess I watched this video 2x because they all sounded good. I gave my son the 5 choices and asked which we are trying first. Mini bbq bacon cheddar are first followed by the taco meatloaf at a later date! Thanx for so many great ideas!!!
Oh I really love making meatloaf and I have done that for a long time, I need to try one of these different recipes, thanks Mandy for sharing all of these delicious recipes for meatloaf. Have a great rest of you week, sending love and hugs, bye! 🤗😍😹👏🙌💜💜
Mandy..I made the taco meatloaf..it's soo good! I used a rotel substitute with green chilis..halved the recipe because I only had one lb of ground beef and poured a half can of red enchiladas sauce over the top of it. The meatloaf is very moist. I make my own taco seasoning too. Thanks so much!! ❤
Meatloaf was one of the very few proteins my son would eat when he was little. I used to make them into thick hamburger patties and bake them. I would individually wrap and freeze. That way I could just pull one out and make it for him. I haven't made it in a loaf shape since and he is 29. Love that they are quicker to make.
I just made a meatloaf with chunky salsa and sharp cheddar cheese added two eggs two lbs of sirloin and breadcrumbs. Topped it off with ketchup mixed with brown sugar and a dash of white vinegar. Very good and easy. Meatloaf is all about what YOU do with it!!
The last bell pepper I cut up had 7 separate babies in side. It just had a very few seeds. I’m making my grandmas meatloaf tonight. I love using a ricer for my potatoes. Makes them light fluffy and no lumps.
Oh my goodness they all look amazing. When I asked my youngest son who absolutely loves meatloaf which one should we make? His response was, "All of them", which is shocking because he isn't a fan of cheese. We'll be making some very soon.😋 Love your channel and the fun you and Steven have while cooking in the kitchen. Give Gracie a hug for me. She's adorable.😊
@@MandyintheMakingI asked my mom for an INSTAPOT as an early birthday present. She will probably get it for me. I want to do Meatloaf and Mashed potatoes in the INSTAPOT.
We love meatloaf too and use 6 lbs ground beef that's how much we love it!! My co worker made me a meatloaf pan dinner...you must try it. Make your meatloaf anyway..put in middle of pan...we use canned drained, green beans on one side, then use Yukon gold potatoes on other side...cut into small chunks..season with salt pepper, garlic powder, onion.powder..put olive oil on..we do side same with green beans...so whole meatloaf is surrounded by this stuff...oh my goodness. You have a complete dinner in one pan! How many cans you use or potatoes is up to you. We have also made another sheet pan with green beans and potatoes! When you bake with the meatloaf, all that from meatloaf cooks with veggies. We use 80/20 meat. You must try it! Enjoy! We eat meatloaf cold leftover!
Hello Mandy.. thought maybe you enjoy this.. I have been eating Meatloaf for over 50 years, my Mother's, Wife's and Cracker Barrel's, I always enjoy my Meatloaf with a POURED topping of apple sauce, thats right I pour it right on top the finished Meatloaf, so my bites are 50/50 to 50/25 apple sauce. my Mother made the best homemade apple sauce, seasoned with a bit of cinnamon, canned in Ball jars for the Winter. I also pour the apple sauce on other meats. baked chicken, Pork Chops.
I make my recipe with ground beef, diced onions, very small diced green bell pepper, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, oatmeal, garlic and onion powder, salt n pepper. Then I top with ketchup. It’s so good!!!
Hi Mandy!! My boyfriend and I watch your videos daily! I absolutely love seeing Gracie Lou she's my absolute favorite!! Just dropping by to say hello and we love you guys!! God bless 💚💙
Just want to start by saying I love your channel and all your recipes. I look forward to your videos each week. My husband loves pizza and I was wondering if you might consider doing a video on everything pizza like pizza pasta or pizza garlic bread etc... I know I've gotten some ideas from you already but always looking for more. Keep doing what you do and keeping it real. Love ya!
Those mini BBQ cheese meatloaves were so good! I made the mistake of not halving the recipe, though, and good gosh it made a lot. 😅 I gotta make those for our next game night, so other people can help eat them (and enjoy them!). Your recipes have convinced our friends that I'm a good cook! ☺️
As a retired preschool teacher. We did this activity for letter D. The students made the hole using their fingers. They would bring there donut up to where we were frying them. We would put sugar and powder sugar into bags. They chose their topping and I would put the donut in and roll the bag and secure it. Then they would shake them. Take it out and put it on a plate with their name. Then at snack time they would have this treat or they could take it home, in a baggie. That brought back a memory I enjoyed. Thank you Becky.
Hey Mandy! I hate the gooey feeling when mixing meatloaf by hand, too. I prefer to wear disposable gloves when mixing meatloaf. My fingers don't get gooey, I don't get stuff caught under my fingernails and cleanup is as quick as taking off the gloves and throwing them away!
My name is Pat and I recently turned 74. I live in Pennsylvania. I started cooking at age 24 when I got married. I watch your show and save some of your recipes. We had your fav. Pork chops tonight. But I must share that my husband is not a garlic fan. I only used 3 cloves of the garlic to start. Then I used Cajun instead of the garlic powder. Joe is still raving about the meal and the sauce . But I don't think he will put it on his oatmeal.😊 thanks
I made “I-don’t have-fresh-onions” meatloaf last week. Ground beef, egg, seasoned bread crumbs, salt, pepper, *minced dried onion to equal one small onion” (more or less) and some milk. Mix, put in a 350 degree oven for 1 hr. Removed and placed my topping (“glaze”) of preference -Chili Sauce - over the top - back in the oven for another 15 minutes. My husband loved it, and it made great sandwiches. Must try some of your recipes when I make “real” meatloaf! 🥰
I've only made the mini BBQ bacon meatloaves, but every time I've made them they have been great. I think I'm going to try the chipotle glazed next. I have some chipotles in adobo in the cabinet that I've been meaning to use so perfect timing!
SOLD, I've never tried Meatloaf but I'm definitely going to try that Cracker Barrel one. Eeek I also want to try the mini ones too. I'm soo excited cos I have all the ingredients in for both of them, the dilemma is which one to make first. Oh shoot, I also want the Taco one. Mandy you've given me a real dilemma, which one first, I'm going to have to toss the dice for this one. Hubby is going to have to eat meatloaf once a week for the next three weeks. Thank you sooo much for sharing Mandy xxx
I'm a long time subscriber and I love your shows. These meatloaf recipes all look delicious. I will have to give them a try soon. I smiled at the face you made when you had to dig in with your hands to mix up the meat mixture. I always hated that, too. Now I put on a pair of disposable vinyl exam gloves to do that. Then I can just peel them off when I'm done and my hands are neat and clean. Crumbling crackers in a big freezer bag is quick and easy if you just run a rolling pin over it a few times. If you want coarse crumbs, just smack the bag of crackers with the rolling pin until they are the right consistency. It saves having to wash out your food processor and attachments.
In stead of bread crumbs, or bread at all I use couscous, farro, cornbread crumbs, quinoa depending on what flavor I want. All kinds of vegetable either from frozen, pico degio, or dehydrated which means lots of seasoning, moisture, from stock, soup, or sauce. I make minis so we can just grab them when we want. They can be tex mex or whatever. And I use wild boar, venison, beef or veal, bison. Go for it. Cheese and sauce on top.
@@MrsAlmaTrumble Happy, happy birthday sweetheart 🥳🎉🎂🎁 It was one of my great granddaughter's 5th birthday too. I'm doing fine. I had my annual mammogram today and it came back perfect!
@@robylove9190 thank you, sweet friend. Aw, happy birthday to her. That's great to hear. I had one last year because I keep getting mastitis and they can't figure out why. I'm not pregnant or breastfeeding.
SC midlands. Mama is diabetic. Last time I made meatloaf I used sugar free Mustard BBQ in meatloaf pan. Loved it. Grace should have her own container of cheese always on the counter and table when you use wrong cheese for her. After all she the star.
It's "swinging for the rafters" Steve. All of these look amazing and can't wait to try them on my crew. The one thing I noticed you left of was the Dukes mayo on the tomato slices. Also, Dukes is a great addition to your mashed potatoes. My crew won't eat them any other way.
My all time favorite of your meatloaf recipes is your bbq bacon cheddar meatloaf..I make it in a loaf pan make a divet down the middle and add bbq sauce…SO GOOD
I saw a recipe for meatloaf that called for panko bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs. They are lighter which works better in meat loaf. I just wanted to pass this little tip on to you and your viewers. I haven’t tried them yet but I do plan on making a meatloaf soon. Thanks for sharing these recipes. I’ll be trying a few of these if not each of them.
I made your mini BBQ cheddar meatloaf. Oh my goodness that was the best stuff. Soooooo good! My husband only likes the traditional meatloaf but he loved this. I will be making this again. This hit my spot. I served it with broccoli and cheese and sliced cucumber. If you haven't made this you don't know what your missing.
That last Taco meatloaf your hubby mentioned enchilada sauce or you could take your favorite taco sauce may be heated up and thicken it with a little cornstarch and use that for a topping as well but the taco meatloaf looks heavenly can't wait to try it
The ketchup and mustard brown sugar I used to make that in a roast pan for a bush camp crew fifty or more years ago. But head cook said to put finger holes in it so it could go through the meat. I love it. Yours all look yummy. But we had no cheese in it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💓💚🥰🤗
There used to b a thing called BAG N SEASON for Meatloaf, Beef stew and few other things my mom Loves. They have stopped making the one for Meatloaf 😢 , but the one for BEEF STEW is Tasty
Mandy, love, love, love the Cracker Barrel Meatloaf. The mini meatloaf is also a winner. Just a hint for the topping sauce. I use 1/2 cup of ketchup and a 1/2 cup spicy ketchup, 1 Tbl spoon spicy mustard, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. My family wants it on any meatloaf I make. I usually double it because they add it on the cooked loaf. Give it a try. Helen😊
We make something similar to the bbq minis! We make them about twice as big but oblong! We just make regular meatloaf with ritz n cheese! The cheese makes it super moist! It melts n you don’t know it’s there! Then we cut up 4 quartered red potatoes, 2 medium onions quartered, 4 whole cloves of garlic, 2 carrots cut in 3/8 slices, 4 small corn on cob and 4 whole jalapeño! Place 1 meatloaf on doubled long foil and surround 1/4 of veggies carefully around the loaf place 1 T thin sliced butter on veggies and salt n pepper them! All potato n then all carrots etc, seal the foil packet! Place on big sheet pan and bake in 350 degree oven for 30 min! Each person gets a packet! I forgot to tell you my son in law does not meatloaf so we don’t add a sauce on top! He loves it!!! The garlic is almost sweet n do not cut the pepper! They are not hot if whole! Or put banana pepper or none! I think you will love these!
The bbq bacon cheddar meatloaves are now one of my husband's favorite things that I make. He is a tough food critic lol I also tried the taco meatloaf this week and omg it is awesome. My mother in law also loved it! Also, thank you for the tip to use the stand mixer. So much easier!!!
I just recently discovered your channel and am really enjoying it. I especially like the way you and hubby interact together. When I make meatloaf I usually use half ground beef and half turkey, Lipton Onion Soup mix, dub sauce, some kind of bread crumbs or crackers, an egg and cheese. It's been so long I can't remember anymore. But I pat my meat out into a big rectangle and put the cheese in the middle and roll it up, jelly roll style. If you've sealed the ends well enough you have a swirl of cheese throughout when you slice it.
One tip for the summer when you want yummy meatloaf but don't want to heat up the oven (and your whole kitchen) is to mix up your meatloaf as you would normally but instead of baking it in a pan, form your meatloaf mixture into patties and either grill or pan fry them.

We do something similar. We make a regular meatloaf and slice it. Save 2 slices for sandwiches the next day, then freeze the rest.
I could eat meatloaf for a week so wouldn't need to freeze any. lol
Who love meatloaf sandwiches, ME!!
Me too!
Meee
Best part!!
Me too with a little Miracle Whip
The best part of making a meatloaf!
I used the taco meatloaf recipe to make meatballs poured some queso over them and took them to a party as appetizers…they were a BIG hit ❤
Mini BBQ Bacon Cheddar!!!! Imma try that one first. Then Taco and then Cracker Barrel! Thank yall for sharing those with Mandy and her family ❤😊

Hey there! Jody here , not My guy Richard. Pro tip, sit your ground meat out in time for it to warm up to room temp. No frozen hands ! 😊
I definitely should do that!
Gracie is a diva. I love that cat. Your family is wonderful and an inspiration. God bless you all.
There is nothing more satisfying then making something your family loves. Thank you Mandy.

Anyone else love a cold meatloaf sandwich with mayo the next day? Yum!
I am with you on this except we use ketchup! I cook meatloaves just for the cold sandwiches.
Meatloaf sandwiches are the best part of the leftovers of a meatloaf.
Just had one last week but I use mustard!
Yum. But I am a mustard girl... Sometimes I fry the meatloaf for the sandwich...
Make a ground turkey and stuffing meatloaf. Cranberry sauce. A little Mayo on a nice roll. So stinking good!
I love meatloaf. I really like it hot with mashed potatoes and green beans. But, my favorite is cold meatloaf sandwiches. They are one of my favorite things.

I do that.. and grill them...
Jenny Can Cook channel is my go too meatloaf recipe..looking forward to watching your choices
Weirdly, I absolutely love cold meatloaf sandwich with a lot of mayo 🤤 Yummy. My grandmother got me hooked on it!
I love them with mustard. Not a mayonnaise fan at all.
I make meatloaf in an Metal muffin tin. Everybody likes the crispy edges + portion control. Cuts cooking time. Can also be put on the grill.

😊Mandy, Mandy, Mandy!❤ I love your channel, I love you and Steven, I love how real you are in the kitchen and all the recipes you share. But I had to comment today because I also REALLY love my new, Misen knife. My 20-plus year favorite chef knife finally bit the dust and I wasn't sure how I was going to find one that I like. Then I remembered your recommendation. It is beautifully designed, feels great in the hand looks sleek, is an incredible value and I honestly believe this knife could serve me the rest of my life if I take good care of it. Thank you for the amazing recommendation and wonderful content.❤
Ahhh! Yes! I love my Misen knife. It truly is amazing! I'm glad you love it too 😊
Absolutely knew and love my meatloaf pan. Best thing ever made for those who love a meatloaf
Live for your videos. You and Stephen are pure entertainment.. I have tried several of your recipes and everyone of them I’ve tried. I have been a huge fan. Thank you for doing what you do.
Awesome! Thank you so much. We appreciate you, Darlene!
They all look great. Our favorite is the pioneer women’s bacon wrapped meatloaf so so good.
I use Lipton onion soup mix in my meatloaf. It's delicious!
My husband won’t eat ground meat, but when he happens to be out of town, the Mini bbq bacon cheddar meatloaf is my go-to! Best recipe EVER!!
Oh!! My daughter is taking that vitamins too. My granddaughter she’s 7 years old now taking them too. Thank you for sharing Mandy. God bless you all.🙏🙏🙏❤️
Mandy girl, u just keep my best of recipe collection growing! I think the Cracker Barrel one will be the first & Rita Crackers will make the texture perfect! Thx much! 💝
I used to use my bare hands to mix my meatloaf. Not anymore. I wear gloves and I wet the gloves under running water before I start. It helps keep the meat from building up on the gloves. If you want to use your bare hands, then soak your hands before mixing. Periodically put some water on the gloves or your hands to keep them cleaner (just wet them).
I love making any meatloaf recipe in muffin tins because they freeze so well. When it's just one or two of you, planning for leftovers is important. The taco meatloaf sounds amazing and I'd be tempted to use it over in tacos with refried beans or rolled up in larger tortillas with enchilada sauce as an encore.
All meatloaves are yummy in my opinion.
Thanks.
Meatloaf pans are great!
Got another one for you to try. Being in Texas, this is a Texas thang. Very simple...use 2-3 lbs of 80/20 ground beef; mix well with 8-16 oz of Pace Picante Sauce (depending on how much ground beef you used), bread crumbs, egg, and a small amount of wash-your-sister sauce (not even 1 T, maybe just 2 tsp). Bake for 45 minutes, remove and cover with Whataburger spicy ketchup. Cook for another 20 minutes to set the ketchup.
I LOVE MARYRUTH’S!!! I’ve been taking them for about two years now. They help me so much.
I used to not like meatloaf bc I’m not a fan of bbq sauce or tomatoes 😢 but I make it more with a brownish gravy/sauce on it and it’s delicious. Love your videos and family ❤
Your beachy wavy hair looks so cute in the chipotle meatloaf video. I love meatloaf. I have never found one that I don’t like .
So I have to confess I watched this video 2x because they all sounded good. I gave my son the 5 choices and asked which we are trying first. Mini bbq bacon cheddar are first followed by the taco meatloaf at a later date! Thanx for so many great ideas!!!
Good choice!
Oh I really love making meatloaf and I have done that for a long time, I need to try one of these different recipes, thanks Mandy for sharing all of these delicious recipes for meatloaf. Have a great rest of you week, sending love and hugs, bye! 🤗😍😹👏🙌💜💜
Mandy..I made the taco meatloaf..it's soo good! I used a rotel substitute with green chilis..halved the recipe because I only had one lb of ground beef and poured a half can of red enchiladas sauce over the top of it. The meatloaf is very moist. I make my own taco seasoning too. Thanks so much!! ❤
That is awesome! So glad to hear you loved it!
I have a idea for the taco meatloaf...put the white mexican cheese dip on top. That would be good too. I love to watch ya'll.
Yes, I have had a meatloaf pan for a long time. It is so nice to keep the grease away from the meat mixture! I enjoy your videos so much!
Loved it when Steven was mixing and said my hands are frozen. My husband always wonders why my hands are so cold. Awesome video!
Loved this one! I still am so grateful to you Mandy for telling me about the meatloaf pan! It’s a must!!❤
Thanks
Meatloaf was one of the very few proteins my son would eat when he was little. I used to make them into thick hamburger patties and bake them. I would individually wrap and freeze. That way I could just pull one out and make it for him. I haven't made it in a loaf shape since and he is 29. Love that they are quicker to make.
I just made a meatloaf with chunky salsa and sharp cheddar cheese added two eggs two lbs of sirloin and breadcrumbs. Topped it off with ketchup mixed with brown sugar and a dash of white vinegar. Very good and easy. Meatloaf is all about what YOU do with it!!
The last bell pepper I cut up had 7 separate babies in side. It just had a very few seeds. I’m making my grandmas meatloaf tonight. I love using a ricer for my potatoes. Makes them light fluffy and no lumps.
Oh my goodness they all look amazing. When I asked my youngest son who absolutely loves meatloaf which one should we make? His response was, "All of them", which is shocking because he isn't a fan of cheese. We'll be making some very soon.😋 Love your channel and the fun you and Steven have while cooking in the kitchen. Give Gracie a hug for me. She's adorable.😊
Hope you enjoy!!! Gracie says hi!
@@MandyintheMakingI asked my mom for an INSTAPOT as an early birthday present. She will probably get it for me.
I want to do Meatloaf and Mashed potatoes in the INSTAPOT.
We love meatloaf too and use 6 lbs ground beef that's how much we love it!! My co worker made me a meatloaf pan dinner...you must try it. Make your meatloaf anyway..put in middle of pan...we use canned drained, green beans on one side, then use Yukon gold potatoes on other side...cut into small chunks..season with salt pepper, garlic powder, onion.powder..put olive oil on..we do side same with green beans...so whole meatloaf is surrounded by this stuff...oh my goodness. You have a complete dinner in one pan! How many cans you use or potatoes is up to you. We have also made another sheet pan with green beans and potatoes! When you bake with the meatloaf, all that from meatloaf cooks with veggies. We use 80/20 meat. You must try it! Enjoy! We eat meatloaf cold leftover!
What size pan can fit 6 lbs of meat plus all those other things?
@jodyel Sheet pan. I always use a big pan. 9×13 and shape loaf then put other things around it. My families favorite one pan meal!
@@JackieOgle Okay, thanks.
@@jodyel 🙌🫶
Hello Mandy.. thought maybe you enjoy this.. I have been eating Meatloaf for over 50 years, my Mother's, Wife's and Cracker Barrel's, I always enjoy my Meatloaf with a POURED topping of apple sauce, thats right I pour it right on top the finished Meatloaf, so my bites are 50/50 to 50/25 apple sauce. my Mother made the best homemade apple sauce, seasoned with a bit of cinnamon, canned in Ball jars for the Winter. I also pour the apple sauce on other meats. baked chicken, Pork Chops.
Cracker barrel 1st I ever liked. My mom's I hated, but I loved the gravy. She made with the meatloaf drippings.❤❤❤
I make my recipe with ground beef, diced onions, very small diced green bell pepper, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, oatmeal, garlic and onion powder, salt n pepper. Then I top with ketchup. It’s so good!!!
I made the taco meatloaf in a 9-mini loaf pan and divided a small can of enchilada sauce on top. The family LOVED it!
I want to try the others soon.
The trick I use to mix the meatloaf is to put ziploc sandwich bags on my hands 😂 It works pretty well!
Good idea
Put water on your hands. The ground beef will not stick to your hands.
I always use extra lean hamburger and italian sausage (1 lb each). You can use the mild or spicy kind, depending on the intensity you're looking for.
Hi Mandy!! My boyfriend and I watch your videos daily! I absolutely love seeing Gracie Lou she's my absolute favorite!! Just dropping by to say hello and we love you guys!! God bless 💚💙
LOVE MEATLOAF!!! So going to try the BBQ Mini ones and the taco meatloaf, making my mouth water!
your kitchen aid mixer is awesome for mixing all your ingredients…meatloaf, meatballs, etc.
Just want to start by saying I love your channel and all your recipes. I look forward to your videos each week. My husband loves pizza and I was wondering if you might consider doing a video on everything pizza like pizza pasta or pizza garlic bread etc... I know I've gotten some ideas from you already but always looking for more. Keep doing what you do and keeping it real. Love ya!
Those mini BBQ cheese meatloaves were so good! I made the mistake of not halving the recipe, though, and good gosh it made a lot. 😅 I gotta make those for our next game night, so other people can help eat them (and enjoy them!). Your recipes have convinced our friends that I'm a good cook! ☺️
You ARE a good cook! :)
As a retired preschool teacher. We did this activity for letter D. The students made the hole using their fingers. They would bring there donut up to where we were frying them. We would put sugar and powder sugar into bags. They chose their topping and I would put the donut in and roll the bag and secure it. Then they would shake them. Take it out and put it on a plate with their name. Then at snack time they would have this treat or they could take it home, in a baggie. That brought back a memory I enjoyed. Thank you Becky.
Think you are on the wrong video. 😁😁
Hey Mandy! I hate the gooey feeling when mixing meatloaf by hand, too. I prefer to wear disposable gloves when mixing meatloaf. My fingers don't get gooey, I don't get stuff caught under my fingernails and cleanup is as quick as taking off the gloves and throwing them away!
My name is Pat and I recently turned 74. I live in Pennsylvania. I started cooking at age 24 when I got married. I watch your show and save some of your recipes. We had your fav. Pork chops tonight. But I must share that my husband is not a garlic fan. I only used 3 cloves of the garlic to start. Then I used Cajun instead of the garlic powder. Joe is still raving about the meal and the sauce . But I don't think he will put it on his oatmeal.😊 thanks
I made “I-don’t have-fresh-onions” meatloaf last week. Ground beef, egg, seasoned bread crumbs, salt, pepper, *minced dried onion to equal one small onion” (more or less) and some milk. Mix, put in a 350 degree oven for 1 hr. Removed and placed my
topping (“glaze”) of preference -Chili Sauce - over the top - back in the oven for another 15 minutes. My husband loved it, and it made great sandwiches. Must try some of your recipes when I make “real” meatloaf! 🥰
I know where to come back to find a great meatloaf! The mini's are so cute. ❤
I've only made the mini BBQ bacon meatloaves, but every time I've made them they have been great. I think I'm going to try the chipotle glazed next. I have some chipotles in adobo in the cabinet that I've been meaning to use so perfect timing!
I’m with your husband, mixing is the best part! 👏
SOLD, I've never tried Meatloaf but I'm definitely going to try that Cracker Barrel one. Eeek I also want to try the mini ones too. I'm soo excited cos I have all the ingredients in for both of them, the dilemma is which one to make first. Oh shoot, I also want the Taco one. Mandy you've given me a real dilemma, which one first, I'm going to have to toss the dice for this one. Hubby is going to have to eat meatloaf once a week for the next three weeks. Thank you sooo much for sharing Mandy xxx
LOL, thank you Dee!
I'm a long time subscriber and I love your shows. These meatloaf recipes all look delicious. I will have to give them a try soon. I smiled at the face you made when you had to dig in with your hands to mix up the meat mixture. I always hated that, too. Now I put on a pair of disposable vinyl exam gloves to do that. Then I can just peel them off when I'm done and my hands are neat and clean. Crumbling crackers in a big freezer bag is quick and easy if you just run a rolling pin over it a few times. If you want coarse crumbs, just smack the bag of crackers with the rolling pin until they are the right consistency. It saves having to wash out your food processor and attachments.
In stead of bread crumbs, or bread at all I use couscous, farro, cornbread crumbs, quinoa depending on what flavor I want. All kinds of vegetable either from frozen, pico degio, or dehydrated which means lots of seasoning, moisture, from stock, soup, or sauce. I make minis so we can just grab them when we want. They can be tex mex or whatever. And I use wild boar, venison, beef or veal, bison. Go for it. Cheese and sauce on top.
We love meatloaf and I think I'm going to try the Chipotle Glazed first. I think my husband will flip over that one.
We love meatloaf, so I'm excited to try these "new" meatloaf recipes. We plan to make the BBQ bacon cheddar one first.
Hey Alma and Tony ❤️ I hope you are having a great week ❤️
@@robylove9190 hey hey, sweet friend. It's going good. Yesterday was my birthday. How are you doing today, friend?!
@@MrsAlmaTrumble Happy, happy birthday sweetheart 🥳🎉🎂🎁 It was one of my great granddaughter's 5th birthday too. I'm doing fine. I had my annual mammogram today and it came back perfect!
@@robylove9190 thank you, sweet friend. Aw, happy birthday to her. That's great to hear. I had one last year because I keep getting mastitis and they can't figure out why. I'm not pregnant or breastfeeding.
SC midlands. Mama is diabetic. Last time I made meatloaf I used sugar free Mustard BBQ in meatloaf pan. Loved it. Grace should have her own container of cheese always on the counter and table when you use wrong cheese for her. After all she the star.
I used meat chopper to mix it also.
It's "swinging for the rafters" Steve.
All of these look amazing and can't wait to try them on my crew. The one thing I noticed you left of was the Dukes mayo on the tomato slices. Also, Dukes is a great addition to your mashed potatoes. My crew won't eat them any other way.
My all time favorite of your meatloaf recipes is your bbq bacon cheddar meatloaf..I make it in a loaf pan make a divet down the middle and add bbq sauce…SO GOOD
I saw a recipe for meatloaf that called for panko bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs. They are lighter which works better in meat loaf. I just wanted to pass this little tip on to you and your viewers. I haven’t tried them yet but I do plan on making a meatloaf soon. Thanks for sharing these recipes. I’ll be trying a few of these if not each of them.
I made your mini BBQ cheddar meatloaf. Oh my goodness that was the best stuff. Soooooo good! My husband only likes the traditional meatloaf but he loved this. I will be making this again. This hit my spot. I served it with broccoli and cheese and sliced cucumber. If you haven't made this you don't know what your missing.
That last Taco meatloaf your hubby mentioned enchilada sauce or you could take your favorite taco sauce may be heated up and thicken it with a little cornstarch and use that for a topping as well but the taco meatloaf looks heavenly can't wait to try it
The ketchup and mustard brown sugar I used to make that in a roast pan for a bush camp crew fifty or more years ago. But head cook said to put finger holes in it so it could go through the meat. I love it. Yours all look yummy. But we had no cheese in it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💓💚🥰🤗
I made the BBQ mini loafs after you posted it the first time! So delicious. Now I’ll have to try these others. Thank you Mandy
There used to b a thing called BAG N SEASON for Meatloaf, Beef stew and few other things my mom Loves.
They have stopped making the one for Meatloaf 😢 , but the one for BEEF STEW is Tasty
Mandy, love, love, love the Cracker Barrel Meatloaf. The mini meatloaf is also a winner. Just a hint for the topping sauce. I use 1/2 cup of ketchup and a 1/2 cup spicy ketchup, 1 Tbl spoon spicy mustard, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. My family wants it on any meatloaf I make. I usually double it because they add it on the cooked loaf. Give it a try. Helen😊
You can mix your meatloaf mixture in your kitchen aid mixer. It’s a game changer
Now I see someone else already told you about the stand mixer. 😊
We make something similar to the bbq minis! We make them about twice as big but oblong! We just make regular meatloaf with ritz n cheese! The cheese makes it super moist! It melts n you don’t know it’s there! Then we cut up 4 quartered red potatoes, 2 medium onions quartered, 4 whole cloves of garlic, 2 carrots cut in 3/8 slices, 4 small corn on cob and 4 whole jalapeño! Place 1 meatloaf on doubled long foil and surround 1/4 of veggies carefully around the loaf place 1 T thin sliced butter on veggies and salt n pepper them! All potato n then all carrots etc, seal the foil packet! Place on big sheet pan and bake in 350 degree oven for 30 min! Each person gets a packet! I forgot to tell you my son in law does not meatloaf so we don’t add a sauce on top! He loves it!!! The garlic is almost sweet n do not cut the pepper! They are not hot if whole! Or put banana pepper or none! I think you will love these!
The bbq bacon cheddar meatloaves are now one of my husband's favorite things that I make. He is a tough food critic lol
I also tried the taco meatloaf this week and omg it is awesome. My mother in law also loved it! Also, thank you for the tip to use the stand mixer. So much easier!!!
I just recently discovered your channel and am really enjoying it. I especially like the way you and hubby interact together. When I make meatloaf I usually use half ground beef and half turkey, Lipton Onion Soup mix, dub sauce, some kind of bread crumbs or crackers, an egg and cheese. It's been so long I can't remember anymore. But I pat my meat out into a big rectangle and put the cheese in the middle and roll it up, jelly roll style. If you've sealed the ends well enough you have a swirl of cheese throughout when you slice it.
