BLUE RIBBON MEAT RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine onion soup mix with sour cream in a bowl; add eggs.
• Mix in ground beef.
• Add bread crumbs; mix well.
• Shape into a loaf.
• Place in loaf pan; lay bacon over top.
• Place in preheated 500ºF oven.
• Reduce heat.
• Bake at 375ºF for 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Pour in beer and increase heat to high. Bring to a vigorous boil; cook until the liquid is quite syrupy and the mixture reduces to about 3/4 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in thyme, dry mustard, salt and pepper. Let cool for 10 minutes.
• Add beef, turkey, breadcrumbs, parsley, egg and egg white to the onion mixture. With clean hands, mix thoroughly and transfer to the prepared pan.
• Bake the meatloaf until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F when inserted into the center, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes; drain accumulated liquid from the pan and slice.
