Meatloaf



Onion, diced
Garlic, minced
Tomato, gutted and diced
Celery, sliced
Carrot, diced
1tbl Various Spices (I used a garlic-parsley-hot pepper mix from some Italian place)
Salt and Pepper
Bacon, thin cut
1.5lbs Ground Beef and/or Pork
1/3c Dried Breadcrumbs
2 Eggs, beaten
1c Mozzarella Cheese
1c Red Wine
6tbl Dark Brown Sugar

All that fancy foreign shit was fucking with my head so I had to make a loaf of meat in order to re-center myself. At first I thought I would make a pâté or terrine and it dawned on me that I'm a motherfucking American and my meatloaf is comprised of beef and pork meat, not livers, kidneys, and hearts. That shit is for freaks with stupid accents and archaic barbarian cultures.

Saute the onion, garlic, tomato, celery, and carrot until softened. At the very end, toss in your spices and give them some heat. Set aside the mixture to cool. Take a Pyrex loaf dish thing and place the bacon down widthwise. Set aside. In a large bowl mix the beef with the breadcrumbs, eggs, cheese, and vegetable mixture. Cram that meat in the bacon pyrex nice and tight. Place it in a 350 degree oven, uncovered, for 35 minutes. Pull it out, drain the grease, cover, and return to oven. In a small pot mix the red wine and dark brown sugar over medium heat. Let it boil and reduce while stirring regularly for about 17 minutes. After the loaf has been in the oven for 50 total minutes, pull it out, drain the grease, and pour the red wine reduction all over the top. Crank the oven up to 400 degrees and toss the loaf back in, uncovered, for another 10 minutes. Pull it out, drain, cool, and serve that bitch up. Eat it.

Where's the ketchup?

Cooking Asshole said...

I made the red wine reduction in lieu of ketchup because ketchup is for poor people.

Gross! Why are you fishing things out of the toilet and photographing them? You need professional help.

Cooking Asshole said...

I got it out of the compost bin, jackass.

Oh man! That looks nasty!!

Cooking Asshole said...

It does not! It looks fucking delicious!

NYCETC said...

Compost pile, toilet, same diff. It's looks like it's already been eaten.

Cooking Asshole said...

Well I will take a picture of what it looks like tomorrow and send it to you!

NYCETC said...

You can just re-post the same fucking picture!

It's structural integrity will probably be compromised. I have been drinking a lot of wine.

"...but I won't do that." said my dog.

Does this involve hands touching meat? Like, MY HANDS touching the meat?

Renegade Mom 2 said...

I'm such a tard, I can't spell RENEGADE, let alone cook anything.

Cooking Asshole said...

What does your dog have to do with this!?!

How the fuck can you cook meat without touching it?

GetTheShovel said...

Nothing is better than leftover fried meatloaf (he he he, I said meat) with some hash browns or mashed potatoes or some potato'ish stuff. It's like spaghetti sauce - it's better the next day. Rock on, you asshole, you!

Jessica said...

Just saying I wouldn't give this pile of shit to my dog. Who the hell heard of mozzarella in meatloaf?

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm still gonna cook this shit up and feed it to my husband.

Cooking Asshole said...

I don't even want to know what you normally feed him...

I'm encouraged to see you've pulled your head out of the old world sand and posted an American recipe. Even then you're trying to hold your little pinky up. Seeding the tomatoes and secreting your spices. How prim of you. I'll bet my wife's meat loaf kicks the shit out of yours. It's delicious and very tender. Not crumbly and not brick hard. Not a two minute, can of soup and hamburger quickie, nor a fuss and fart around ordeal like yours, Just right, it would be Goldielocks' favorite.
