THE BEST MEATLOAF



The Best Meatloaf image

We opted for an all-beef meatloaf rather than the traditional mix of beef, veal and pork because we wanted that satisfying big beef flavor. Milk adds richness and tenderizes the meat, preventing it from getting tough or dry. We also cook the onion instead of adding it raw as many recipes suggest, which imparts a welcome sweetness and eliminates that harsh raw onion flavor.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup milk
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 tablespoon thyme leaves, chopped
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
2 pounds 80/20 ground beef chuck
1/2 cup panko

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Whisk the eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl until completely combined. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and lightly golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of the ketchup and cook until most of the moisture has evaporated and the mixture is thick and brick red colored, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the onions cool slightly. Then add them to the beaten eggs and mix to combine.
  • Add the beef to the egg and onion mixture. Break up the meat with a fork or wooden spoon, and then mix to thoroughly combine; you don't want to see any lumps of raw beef. Add the panko and mix to combine. Stir the meat vigorously with a wooden spoon for about 7 seconds; it will become more homogenous and tackier.
  • Transfer the meat to the prepared baking sheet and shape into a 9-by-5-inch loaf. Smooth the top and evenly spread the remaining ketchup over top. Bake for 5 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 150 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

MEAT LOAF



Meat Loaf image

Nothing says classic comfort like Ina Garten's Meatloaf recipe from Barefoot Contessa on Food Network.

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon good olive oil
3 cups chopped yellow onions (3 onions)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup canned chicken stock or broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 1/2 pounds ground chuck (81 percent lean)
1/2 cup plain dry bread crumbs (recommended: Progresso)
2 extra-large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup ketchup (recommended: Heinz)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan. Add the onions, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not brown. Off the heat, add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste. Allow to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, onion mixture, bread crumbs, and eggs, and mix lightly with a fork. Don't mash or the meat loaf will be dense. Shape the mixture into a rectangular loaf on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F and the meat loaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven, under the meat loaf, will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot.

THE BEST MEATLOAF I'VE EVER MADE



The Best Meatloaf I've Ever Made image

When I was growing up, my mom never ever made meatloaf and I always wanted to try it - I finally tried it at a restaurant and loved it. When I moved out on my own I started experimenting with different recipes and creating my own version. I finally came up with the best meatloaf I have ever made, and I wanted to share it.

BEST MEATLOAF RECIPE EVER (AND EASIEST!)



Best Meatloaf Recipe Ever (And Easiest!) image

I don't remember where I found this recipe, on the internet somewhere maybe, but, basically, it's not mine. Definitely not low fat/low carb, but it's the best and easiest meatloaf I've ever had. I make it all the time for my family and they love it. My brother in law always requests that I make two, so he has leftovers the next day. You can substitute a ground meat mixture, or ground turkey for the ground beef.

Provided by Chef Ironbox

Categories     Pork

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 eggs
1/2 cup ketchup
0.5 (1 ounce) package dry hidden valley ranch dressing mix
1 cup prepared stuffing, Pepperidge farm blue bag, NOT CUBED
1 (6 ounce) can French-fried onions
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (approx)
ketchup, for topping- see below

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Put meat, french fried onions, and stuffing in bowl. Mix eggs, ketchup, and ranch dressing together separately (easier this way), then dump over other ingredients (meat, stuffing, onions). Mix all together. Shape into loaf (or whatever shape you want) and put on a cookie sheet. (Helps to line cookie sheet with tin foil first- easier clean up). Cover loosely with tin foil and bake 50-60 minutes. Remove foil and top with ketchup, or any topping sauce you like, for the last ten minutes.
  • Let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting.
  • **I just want to note that in most ovens, the bottom of this loaf burns. I don't know why, I've tried and tried to keep it from happening to no avail. However, it doesn't matter, I just cut burnt part off, doesn't effect the rest of the loaf. Also, I don't use a loaf pan for this one, because it will be too greasy.

THE MOST TENDER MEATLOAF



The Most Tender Meatloaf image

A variation on Samantha19f2001's "I hate meatloaf, but...", recipe. I loved hers, but didn't have a use for the extra soup and my husband loves the topping I made. So this recipe combines the best of both for my household.

Provided by Snowpeas

Categories     Meat

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 meatloaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs ground beef
1 lb pork sausage (bulk not links)
2 eggs
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 teaspoons dry mustard

Steps:

  • Turn oven on and set at 350 degrees.
  • Mix the first 7 ingredients together thoroughly. Using your hands is the best way to get it done. Form meat into a loaf shape and place in a baking dish.
  • Place the meatloaf in the oven bake for 60 minutes.
  • While meatloaf is in the oven, mix the final 3 ingredients together.
  • After the 60 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the ketchup topping over the loaf.
  • Place back in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Note: Make sure meat is cooked. You don't want to eat rare pork. Also, the meatloaf serves up easiest if you let it rest a few minutes before slicing.
