MEATLOAF RECIPE



Meatloaf recipe image

Recipe video above. Meatloaf is so much more than a giant hunk of ground beef in a loaf shape. It should ooze with flavour, be moist and tender yet not crumble apart when sliced. And the caramelised glaze is the crowning glory!

Provided by Nagi

Categories     Main

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup panko breadcrumbs ((Note 1))
1 large onion (, grated (brown, yellow))
1 kg / 2 lb ground beef (mince) (, preferably not lean)
2 eggs
3 garlic cloves (, minced)
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 cup tomato ketchup
1/4 cup chopped parsley ((optional), or 2 tsp dried parsley or basil)
1 tsp dried thyme
2 beef bouillon cubes (, crumbled or 2 tsp beef powder (Note 2))
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup tomato ketchup
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp brown sugar (, lightly packed)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Oil or spray a loaf tin. (Note 3)
  • Glaze: Mix together in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Meatloaf: Place breadcrumbs in a very large bowl. Grate over onion. Mix so the breadcrumbs are all wet. (Note 4)
  • Add remaining ingredients. Mix well using your hands. Form into a loaf shape, pinching together then smoothing over creases and cracks (helps prevent cracks during baking).
  • Transfer into loaf tin. Brush generously with glaze, using about 1/2.
  • Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with most of the remaining glaze. If there is excess fat pooling, scoop/pour it off.
  • Bake for a further 30 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • Stand for 10 minutes before turning out and cutting into thick slices. You will probably get a bit of crumbling just on the edges of the first couple of slices, this is normal and indicative of the tenderness of the meatloaf (zero crumble indicates firm packed harder meatloaf which isn't as enjoyable!).
  • Ideal served with a dollop of ketchup, creamy mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.

EASY OLD FASHIONED MEATLOAF



Easy Old Fashioned Meatloaf image

No fancy ingredients here... Not like we need another meatloaf recipe, but I figured I'd should post my Grandma's for people like me who like a quick easy meatloaf without a lot of fuss. Most of the meatloaves I saw here had things I'd never even consider putting in a meatloaf! :) At times I will substitute the onion with approx. 1/4 cup dried onion flakes. I also have substituted the garlic with garlic powder. I've never tried making it with horseradish. (I was a notoriously picky eater as a kid so I don't think Grandma put it in when I came to visit either.) I usually don't bother beating the egg... (Boy do I sound lazy! Don't tell Mom! LOL!) I've only recently started putting ketchup on the top before baking, so I don't think it's necessary to keep the meatloaf moist. Mom used to use her own dried bread crumbs, but I use the plain storebought kind. I haven't been adventurous enough to try any flavored bread crumbs... Make sure lean ground beef is used otherwise the meatloaf can get too greasy and/or bubble over the pan while baking. I also recommend checking the center to make sure it's done. On occasion it has taken over an hour to bake.

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.

EASY MEATLOAF



Easy Meatloaf image

This Easy Meatloaf is a favorite at my house. It's the recipe we always use when we want a meatloaf that's tender, super moist and utterly delicious!

Provided by Joanna Cismaru

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large onion (finely chopped or grated)
1 cup breadcrumbs (I used Panko)
1/4 cup milk
1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground beef
1/2 green bell pepper ( finely chopped)
1 egg
1 cup barbecue sauce (I used Guy Fieri's Sweet and Smoky Kansas Style BBQ sauce)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray; set aside.
  • Grate the onion (if not using chopped) in a large bowl. Add the breadcrumbs and the milk and stir it together. Add the rest of the ingredients but only add about 3/4 cup of the barbecue sauce to the meat mixture. Mix the entire meat mixture really well using your hands or a spoon.
  • Add the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Brush with the remaining barbecue sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
  • Bake for 60 to 80 minutes or until done. Best way to tell when a meatloaf is done is to use an instant-read thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the meatloaf and when it reaches 160 degrees F, it's done.
  • Let it sit for 10 minutes before slicing into it.

1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

  • Spoon topping choice onto the loaf and bake, uncovered, for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until done.
  • Drain off the excess fat and allow the loaf to sit about 10 minutes before removing from loaf pan or slicing because it will fall apart.
  • Slice loaf into serving sizes and serve on heated platter.
  • POTATO-TOPPED MEAT LOAF: For four 1/2-inch slices of meat loaf, prepare some instant mashed potatoes, enough for 4 servings, as directed on the package and set aside. Set the oven control at broil/or 550 degrees F. Broil the slices with the tops 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 5 minutes. Spread the potatoes on the slices and sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes and serve hot.

Cover and simmer until the meat is hot, 10 to 15 minutes and serve.

BASIC MEATLOAF



Basic Meatloaf image

Meatloaf can be casual, for a weeknight dinner, or fancy, for a Sunday feast. It can be made of turkey or beef, pork or veal. It is relatively cheap to make and, when combined with mashed potatoes, provides about the ultimate in comfort food. Whichever protein you use, though, the idea is to stretch it with a filler - bread or oatmeal, rice or crackers - and scent it with vegetables and spices. You need a basic recipe to start. Here it is.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup finely chopped raw or sauteed vegetables (onions, leeks, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, etc.)
1 cup bread crumbs or other grain filler (par-cooked rice, rolled oats, mashed potatoes or soft bread)
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 large egg
Dried and/or fresh herbs to taste
Spices or other seasoning to taste
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix the vegetables with the bread crumbs or other filler. Mix these ingredients thoroughly with the meat. Mix in the egg.
  • Add the seasonings, taking care not to underseason the mixture. If you do not want to taste the mixture raw to check the seasonings, cook a spoonful of it in a nonstick pan for a few minutes until it loses its redness, allow it to cool slightly, then taste.
  • Shape mixture into a loaf and place in shallow baking dish or pack ina four-cup loaf pan. Bake 90 minutes. Serve hot or cooled.
