Boston Market Meatloaf
From the Book Top Secret Recipes 400°F Oven
|
 |
| This is a recreation of the delicious meatloaf served at the Boston Market restaurants. The type of meat and the technique are very important here. | |
| Ingredients | |
| 1 cup | tomato sauce |
| 1 1/2 tablespoons | Kraft™ original barbecue sauce |
| 1 tablespoon | granulated sugar |
| 1 1/2 pounds | ground sirloin (10% fat) |
| 6 Tablespoons | all-purpose flour |
| 3/4 teaspoon | salt |
| 1/2 teaspoon | onion powder |
| 1/4 teaspoon | ground black pepper |
| dash | garlic powder |
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Combine the tomato sauce, barbecue sauce and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture until it begins to bubble, stirring often, then remove it from the heat.
- In a large bowl, add all but 2 tablespoons of the tomato sauce to the meat. Use a large wooden spoon or your hands to work the sauce into the meat until it is very well combined.
- Combine the remaining ingredients with the ground sirloin-- flour, salt, onion powder and ground pepper. Use the wooden spoon or your hands to work the spices and flour into the meat.
- Load the meat into a loaf pan (preferably a meatloaf pan with two sections which allows the fat to drain, but if you don't have one of those a regular loaf pan will work). Wrap foil over the pan and place it into the oven for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, take the meatloaf from the oven, remove the foil and, if you aren't using a meatloaf pan, drain the fat.
- Using a knife, slice the meatloaf all the way through into 8 slices while it is still in the pan. This will help to cook the center of the meatloaf. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of sauce over the top of the meatloaf, in a stream down the center. Don't spread the sauce.
- Place the meatloaf back into the oven, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until it is done. Remove and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
