I agree about sautéing the veggies! The mark of a good cook is those extra touches that make a recipe special 🤗 you are such a joy to watch & listen to!
The "red mess" is tomato sauce or tomato paste and it's a different variation ( the most traditional way) apart from the brown gravy style which is just as delicious if you know the right way to make it. I came here because I want to learn the brown gravy way, i have always used tomato sauce or paste the same way my mother and her mother made it which has always got great feedback on taste,but to each hos own😊
I like the gravy way or at least pan drippings on my mashed potatoes……the best too! I put the tomatoe paste within….an old boyfriend taught me his trick of a can of Contidina tomatoe paste italian with oregeno etc. ….thank you Darren for that trick!
update- i tried it. the meatloaf was really good. I had trouble with the brown gravy though ahaha the flour and butter kept clumping up like i was making a cookie 😂😂@@tennesseenikki
Hello Nikki your meatloaf looks absolutely delicious. You are over there throwing down. Keep doing what you’re doing I wish I was in Tennessee eating that meatloaf with you, but I’ll settle for my oxtails today. Do you have an amazing day and a great week 👍💯😋
I really like meatloaf. I like both the gravy and the red sauce. My favorite now that I'm older is the red sauce. It looks good. Another terrific recipe.
My Sista😊I have cooked your brown gravy meatloaf more than once and it is "Delish". As a matter of fact, as I type this comment. I'm making a list to go get the ingredients. I'm preparing early for Father's Day. . . . . . . . Y'all, if you are on the fence about making. Gone jump down and do it. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for sharing, Tennessee Nikki💛
Omg I just watched your channel for the first time with the meatloaf. Your sense of humor was awesome. You had me laughing the entire video such a beautiful person, and a beautiful smile keep the videos coming.
Good afternoon Mrs. Nikki. Hope your having a wonderful day. Sending early Happy Birthday e wishes to you. Your making me hungry. Lol Love all your recipes.
I just tried this today and I'm so glad I did! It was delicious. The only change I made was to also add in some Italian Sausage. You just gained a new subscriber. ❣
Ms. Nikki, Do you have a recipe for Succatosh? I believe that’s how you spell it, but my late dad used to make this in a cast iron skillet, with pork chops, eggs and homemade drop buttermilk biscuits. He was from the South, and I loved when he made southern style breakfasts. I know it had corn, okra, onions, tomatoes, flour, etc. Thank you in advance! 15:14
@@tennesseenikki Thank you so much for replying, and I love your recipes. I’ll be trying the Dolly Parton Cake Desert and the Cheeseburger, Tater Tot Recipe. Thanks for sharing!!
I like your videos and your food looks delicious I’ve never tried any of your recipes but I’m ready to learn I’m a new subscriber oh and you’re funny 😂❤
I’m blessed with the Meals On Wheels program and they serve vegetable meatloaf with brown gravy. I don’t like meatloaf but this meatloaf with lots of vegetables is so delicious! I see baby lima beans, carrots and everything you cooked. I’m wondering what kind of package that has all those vegetables in it. I’m going to try your recipe to make this recipe!
say it Beautiful Lady, use them hands yes the best way to get all of those good ingredients mixed in there really good, Girl i wished i could stick my plate through this screen and have you make me a plate, but since i cant the next time i make a meatloaf i will definetly follow your instructions because that is the only way it will turn deliciousss. believe me what i say.LOL🍽🍽
Tell’em Nikki, like our ancestors we use our hands for them haters! Lmao! Why not? We use them to knead bread dough! Making this recipe 🤤😋😊 God bless, love you and your channel
Just got home from watching the 49er game, and saw this. Looks much better than what I had watching the game. lol. We could have used you and your meatloaf at the 9er party lol And btw Happy Birthday! 🎂
I cant wait to make my meatloaf with this fabulous looking hearty brown gravy! My husband likes ketchup glaze on his and I'm okay with that. But I rarely make it with brown gravy. However, I'm getting my way this time. Ha, ha. Thanks a million you sweet lady.
Banger recipe. My only critique. You added garlic to your bell pepper and onion mixture, and then garlic powder to the raw meat. It would be better to have added more garlic to the pan and not used any powder. The oil in the pan will diffuse the garlic flavor better in the loaf than the granules of powder. The difference would probably be minor, but you loose flavor anytime something is dried and grinded. Better than my grandma's for sure, but she was blind in one eye and couldn't see out of the other. 🙃
@@tennesseenikki No need, you guys are on an excellent path. The only thing I would add is to explore some more diverse options. Everything you have shown is absolutely packed with flavor, but consider some options that taste good and are healthy like a wrap with southern seasoning or perhaps a southern rice bowl. The more diverse you are, the more eyeballs you draw. Especially with the Tennessee flair. I wish you guys the best. Keep on cooking.
You better believe I’m going to subscribe,this is real food. I don’t mind you use your hands, my husband did a lot of our cooking for30 years and his hands were the same color as yours. ,I will be looking for more of your videos. Got bless you.
I've never put ketchup on or in my meatloaf. I am a brown gravy all the way! And this woman's energy and laugh has had me from day 1. ❤ I'm so happy I found this channel! You keep rocking that kitchen, girl!
On 350, depends on how many pounds you are using. For 2lbs, I like to cook mine for an 1hr before I put my gravy on and then I cook for another 15 to 20 mins.
Nikki, maybe you’re not going to believe this, but as I sat on the couch watching this video, I noticed that my cat was watching, too!! For real. He’s been laying next to me. All of a sudden, I look at him, & he’s transfixed by your meatloaf adventure. He was seriously watching! OMG. I wish I could’ve photographed or recorded it. Two things: Now I’m gonna HAVE to make Tennessee Nikki’s meatloaf, & from now on, I’d better not watch your videos without my cat. 🤣🤣🤣 Dear Lord, I’ve never seen him stare so attentively at a screen before! Yeah, you’ve got a new fan in my family. 🎉
I agree about sautéing the veggies! The mark of a good cook is those extra touches that make a recipe special 🤗 you are such a joy to watch & listen to!
