Cheeseburger Meatloaf vs. Turkey Meatloaf

So we're going to do two different meatloaves for y'all today

They're both good and good for you, but Bobby's is a little lighter

Mine is more traditional, so you decide. Oh, no! Our camera went to three

I'm in here with Bobby today, my son Bobby. That's right. And we're going to be doing a meatloaf cook-off

But before we do that, I want to introduce y'all to a few of my friends

This is my girlfriend-in-law. And she goes with our son, Anthony. You remember your stepbrother, Anthony

I do. I do. Yes. This is Cookie Espinosa. Did I pronounce it right or is it Espinosa

Espinosa. Espinosa. You know, those foreign words are very hard for my tongue

And I'm not sure who this little girl is right here. She doesn't know

But I know her name is Nat Nat. And she ain't no bigger than a nat

All three of y'all are so pretty, and I'm so glad to have y'all in the kitchen with me today

Do y'all like meatloaf? We did. All right. So I'm going to come down here

and I'm going to start on my version. Bobby's going to do his version

Bobby's will probably be about half the calories of mine, but, you know, that's all right

We'll give you a couple of different options, and you can decide on which one you want

I've got my pound of ground beef. I've got my half of a Vidalia onion

And I got some bacon that's been cooked and chopped. Yummy. I can't remember

Half a pound of bacon? Half a pound is not much, just eight ounces. All right, now I'm going to put my egg in there

A half a cup, yes. I'm going to use a half a cup

That's a quarter. All right, there you go. Half a cup of that

A cup of cheese. This is going to be delicious, Bobby. What kind of cheese are you using

Oh, sharp cheddar? Cheddar. All right, salt. Pepper. In a taste test, mine might not stand up to yours

I going to use one jar one jar of diced tomatoes What going in yours Bobby Well I can get a word in because you keep talking What is this That cauliflower and chicken broth

Sounds delicious. Thank you for your support. All right, one tablespoon of mustard

Is this a pretty traditional meatloaf so far that you're making? Not really. I'm trying hard to beat you

About a fourth of a cup of mayonnaise and about a fourth

of a cup of ketchup. Yay. All right. So far, I've got onions and garlic

Now, in my dish, I always line my pan with bread, and that bread soaks up any fat that's going to cook out of that

so it doesn't just stand in that fat. Your meatloaf is fully put together

My meatloaf is fully put together except for the frosting. Let me guess what it is, ketchup and mayonnaise

No. It is ketchup, yellow mustard, and brown sugar. This is what Aunt Peggy puts on top of all her meatloaf

and this is my favorite topping of all, so I'm going to do that to this one

So my ketchup. Take it away, Bobby. Take it away, son. Mustard and brown sugar

As much as you want. But here's another way to do meatloaf. 85% lean turkey, ground turkey

So far, I've got an onion. I know, right? Two tablespoons of brown sugar

One and a half pounds of 85% lean ground turkey. So far, I've got a yellow onion and three cloves of garlic

And I'm adding to this something interesting that you've probably not made in your meatloaf before, and this is head of cauliflower

It's been pureed after being... Oh, I love the look on your face. It was pureed after being boiled in chicken broth

So this is cauliflower with chicken broth together. We're losing a lot of the fat, so you have to add flavor somehow

and chicken broth is a good way to add flavor. And the cauliflower, believe it or not, will add some good flavor

Half a cup of oats, a couple of tablespoons of parmesan, fresh grated parm

and some, I've gotten my hands dirty, but it don't matter. I'm gonna help you

Help me out. Salt. Pepper. Your meatloaf's kind of white-looking. Well, that's because it's super lean

and there's no bacon in it, and there's no mayonnaise in it, and there's no eggs in it. You don put any tomatoes in yours There no tomatoes in it at all Well I like the way it looks myself It very good good But listen y Bobby does love his mama cooking Oh yeah You know he knows that at his age you know

the pounds come on a lot easier than they come off. So this is the way Bobby loves to eat at least five days

at my age each week. Well, you're not 18 anymore. So my topping is going to be ketchup

a third of a cup of ketchup, and a teaspoon of Dijon mustard. A third of a cup of Dijon mustard

No, a third of a cup of ketchup. Oh. May I taste that with ketchup? Of course you can. It tastes like ketchup and mustard

Taste mine. Okay. Damn. Let me get my meatloaf in the oven

Mine has to cook at $3.50 for one hour. Bobby, that's good

It's got a little bite, a little tartness to it. I like that

I'm glad. So, girls, girls, I got something to ask y'all. Having a bird's eye view at what Bobby and I are doing

which one do y'all think is going to appeal to y'all? I do like bacon now, but I do like guilt-free eating

so I'm a little tired. My taste buds are going for yours, but I know my heart, for my health, is going for Bobby's

Okay, Nat Nat. I'll just have to taste it and see. Oh, that's a very, very democratic answer

You must be a coming politician. What's your cooking time and temperature

350 for one hour. Okay. What's yours? Mine, too. Same thing. So let's pop them in the oven

Mine's already in the oven. Oh, s***. Pop mine in the oven

You behind, Bobby. I hope y'all are not like me and wearing false eyelashes

because if y'all are they gonna get smashed to hell in back

I got a big head now so that's what Anthony said what

I'm kidding you I'm kidding you I'm just trying to start some trouble

I'm trying to just start trouble Cookie your little head is so much smaller than Ashley's

How can you be so smart? With no brains. All right. Now, let's see Nat-Nat

She about in between the two of them She probably got like an average size head We got little medium and big

All right. Well, let's see. Are we going to put it on the same plate, son

or a different plate? Maybe we should just go ahead and put them side by side on the same plate

Why don't we just ask them to open their mouths, and we'll throw it at them. You got to be blindfolded

because these two meatloaves do not look alike. Right. And here comes the food police

All right, Ash. All right. This is number one. Okay. Bobby, you want to get around there and feed Cookie

Certainly. I'll go with it this way. Pretty good. All right. Do you need a drink of water

No, but one more swallow, I'll be good. Cookie? Yeah? Meatloaf number one. Open your mouth. Right

Okay, I'm ready. Okay, meatloaf number two. Like y'all ain't gonna be able to tell which is which

Oh, I can tell. All right, Nat, Nat, you can. All right, Cookie

All right, Nat. I'm gonna give you meatloaf number one. I think so

Here comes number two in your mouth. All right, so girls. That's an extra

All right, we can take the blindfolds off, I think. All right. Let's take them off. Woo, woo

Took a nap under there for a second. Yes. Yes. If you prefer meatloaf number one, raise your hand. Okay

Okay. If you prefer meatloaf number two, raise your hand. Thank you, girl

That's all right. Look, look, look. I like bacon, too. All right. I think that what we got is we've got two ways to do a traditional food

We're looking at an old-school traditional meatloaf, and then we're looking at sort of a new generational meatloaf

You have options. There are different ways to cook. But the best part about it is if you like these recipes

you can get these recipes and a whole bunch of other recipes at Paula Deen Network

Thank you. We'll see you next time
