Teriyaki Meatloaf ~ Sweet, Salty, and Delicious

Meatloaf has been a staple in my house as long as I can remember. And it’s rarely made the same way twice. Sometimes it’s like a steakhouse burger, peppery and garlicky, with steak sauce glazing the top. Other times, it’s sweet and smoky, seasoned with a barbecue rub and topped with our favorite barbecue sauce. Many times it was Italian style, with stewed tomatoes or ketchup over the top, but every time my mom made it, it was slightly different in flavor. She never used measurements, but went by the “feel” of the meat. I take the same approach to meatloaf, and this time, I had some teriyaki sauce and pineapple, which made the most delicious Teriyaki Meatloaf. Sweet, salty, and full of rich flavor, Teriyaki Meatloaf has become my family’s favorite way to eat this American staple.

The Secret to Teriyaki Meatloaf

The basic recipe for meatloaf is for every pound of ground beef, an egg and a quarter cup of breadcrumbs. The breadcrumbs can be more or less, depending on the seasonings you use. So the recipe is written for a one pound meatloaf so you can expand it as much as you need. The secret to Teriyaki Meatloaf is the teriyaki sauce you use. I love Veri Veri Teriyaki sauce. I found it by happenstance at my favorite grocery store a while ago and I fell in love. It has the perfect blend of soy, garlic, and ginger, and is complete with sesame seeds which impart a slightly nutty flavor. Use your favorite teriyaki sauce, and your Teriyaki Meatloaf is sure to be perfect for you!

Stuffed Peppers: Check the Clearance Rack!

While shopping the produce department of my favorite grocery store, I happened upon some “clearance” peppers. They had started to wrinkle just a little bit, but they were still perfectly fine. I picked up a bag of 5 red peppers for $1.92 and a bag of 5 green peppers for $1.84. I couldn’t believe my luck! They were beautiful, and you could even still put them on a salad, but my mind instantly went to when I was a kid and my mom would make a huge batch of Stuffed Peppers, freezing half of them for when peppers weren’t quite so inexpensive. With peppers in my cart, I set out to make some Stuffed Peppers for my family.

What’s the Stuffing in a Stuffed Peppers?

I love to mix and match when it comes to stuffed peppers, depending on my mood and what’s easily available at the time. The color of the pepper only matters if you want sweet or bold, as the bright colored peppers are wonderfully sweet, while the green peppers are bold. Ground chuck is always the base I use in my Stuffed Peppers. Sometimes I add things like ground Italian sausage, or bacon. Even the binder changes. Sometimes bread crumbs, sometimes cooked rice, and sometimes even quinoa, a wonderful grain. One of the great things about Stuffed Peppers is the versatility you have in making them your own.

Amigo Pie: Your New Favorite Meal

Amigo Pie is one of those go-to recipes, when you get home from work and just want to make a quick but tasty dinner. The first time I had this dish, I was hooked. The crust is a savory cornbread style, seasoned with cheddar and black olives. It gets a wonderful crusty bottom that holds in the flavor of the filling.

Tips and Tricks for Amigo Pie

When serving Amigo Pie, let it sit in the pan for about 5 minutes after you pull it from the oven to let the crust finish setting up. Top it with a dollop of sour cream and some chopped green onions to finish off the dish.

If you’d like to make Amigo Pie even faster to make, brown the meat and onions ahead of time and freeze. When you get home, make the crust and sprinkle the frozen meat mixture over the top. Bake as usual for an easy meal.
