This cajun meatloaf and cajun gravy recipe by Smokin’ & Grillin’ wit AB sound amazing per usual. Meatloaf is not everyone’s cup of tea, but with the right recipe, I enjoy it. I love how he includes cajun gravy to this recipe because I can take that and use it for other meals. The cajun gravy is not videoed in this tutorial, but the ingredients are down below. Make the roux by cooking the oil and 3 tbsp of flour in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk until it’s brown, then pour the remaining ingredients to a boil. Overall, this is a great recipe to add because I never make meatloaf.
Ingredients:
Cajun Meatloaf:
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1/2 pound quality ground pork
- 1 ½ tbsp Cajun Seasoning
- ½ tsp ground Cumin
- ¼ tsp ground Nutmeg
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp dried Oregano
- 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp Butter
- ½ cup minced or chopped Celery
- ½ cup minced or chopped Red Bell Pepper (sometimes I use green and yellow too)
- ¼ cup minced or chopped Onions
- ¼ cup minced or chopped Carrots (optional)
- 2 tbsp minced Garlic
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (W Sauce)
- 1/4 cup Evaporated Milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup seasoned Breadcrumbs
- Spicy ketchup for glaze
Cajun Gravy Ingredients:
- Making The Roux
- 3 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- 3 tbsp Vegetable Oil
Gravy Ingredients:
- 9 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- 4 cups Chicken Broth
- 1/2 tsp White Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Directions:
First, preheat the oven to 350F. Make the meatloaf filling by sauteing the vegetables, and adding the evaporated milk until it thickens. Mix the ground pork and beef in a large bowl with the seasoning and breadcrumbs. Add the eggs to the mixture and mix everything together.
Next, spray the pan with cooking spray and transfer the meatloaf filling into the baking pan. Push down the edges around the meatloaf with your fingers to make the shape. Squeeze regular or sriracha ketchup on top of the meatloaf. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Overall, I haven’t had meatloaf in so long. My dad didn’t make much of it growing up, but when he did it was amazing. I would share this tutorial with my dad and make it one day. My family and I love spicy foods, so this is a great recipe for those that can handle spice.
