Step By Step Instructions OF Patti Labelle Meatloaf Recipe
- Cut Onion And Parsley: You need to take one big size onion and dice it into small pieces and then take some Parsley and cut them too. The parsley size should be small. Look at the image to get an idea of the onion and parsley cutting size.
- Mix All Ingredients: When your onion and parsley cutting is done, take a big size bowl. In that bowl, take ground beef, the onion and the parsley that I cut. Then add bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, 2 eggs, and barbecue sauce. The amount of these ingredients is given in the ingredients list. Mix them all using your clean hand.
- Place The Mixture Into A Baking Tray: When the mixture is done, make sure you wash your hand again. Then take a baking pan and use baking paper on it. After that, pour all the mixture into that pan. The main task here is to give the mixture a loaf size. To do that, make the mixture 9 inches long and 4 inches wide. The height will be around 3 inches.
- Bake The Meatloaf: You have to put the baking tray in the oven for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. At this time, the loaf will be baked properly.
- Meatloaf Glaze Making: Patti Labelle’s meatloaf has one specialty, i.e., its glaze. To make this, you need to add 3 ingredients in a small bowl. They are brown sugar, ketchup, and yellow mustard. Now mix them together. This will form a perfect glaze. The amount of each ingredient is given in the ingredients list.
- Pour The Glaze On Top Of the Meatloaf: After 45 minutes of baking, bring out the tray and pour the glaze over the meatloaf. Then use a pastry brush to spread it over the meatloaf. This will bring a special taste and flavor to your recipe. Then you have to put it again in the oven for 5 more minutes.
- Cut It Using A Knife: After 5 more minutes of baking, your meatloaf will be ready to serve. You have to bring that out and cut using a knife. This will look like the image. That is how Patti Labelle meatloaf recipe will bring a difference to your dining table.
