BUFFALO MEATLOAF RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
• In 8-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Cook onions, 3 cloves garlic and a dash of salt in oil about 5 minutes or until onions are soft and translucent. Set aside to cool.
• In large bowl, mix remaining tablespoon olive oil, the ground chicken, 1 cup bread crumbs, the milk, egg, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons parsley, the salt, pepper and pepper flakes. Add onion and garlic mixture; mix well.
• Pat half of meatloaf mixture in pan. Arrange cheese planks down center of meatloaf, leaving 1/2 to 1 inch of cheese-free space around all edges. Cut cheese in half as needed to fit. Cover cheese with remaining meatloaf mixture; press around edges to seal in cheese. Spread half of the marinara sauce over top of meatloaf.
• Bake about 1 hour or until meat thermometer inserted in center of loaf reads 165°F. Cool 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile in 6-inch skillet, toast 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1 clove garlic and the butter until golden. Scrape into small dish to cool slightly. Stir in 3 tablespoons Parmesan and 2 tablespoons parsley. Top meatloaf with mixture.
• Serve with remaining marinara sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375º and line an 5"-x-8" loaf pan with parchment paper. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion, celery, carrot, and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft and most of the liquid has cooked out, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a potato masher in a large bowl or food processor, mash the chickpeas until a rough paste forms. (A few large pieces of chickpea are OK.) Transfer to a large bowl if using a food processor. Add cooked vegetables, bread crumbs, parsley, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl with chickpeas. In a medium bowl, whisk together ketchup and barbecue sauce. Add half of this mixture to the bowl with the chickpeas. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper, and stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Transfer chickpea mixture to prepared loaf pan, packing the mixture in gently. Smooth top, then brush with half of the remaining ketchup mixture and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, brush with remaining ketchup mixture, and bake 30 minutes more.
  Let cool 10 minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve
