THE BEST MEATLOAF I'VE EVER MADE
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.

MOIST AND FLAVORFUL MEATLOAF
This recipe makes makes a moist and tender meatloaf without being mushy. I added fresh herbs I had on hand but you can use dried herbs, just use a little less. I made this for friends and family, not realizing some were not meatloaf lovers until they admitted after tasting mine that they were converts! I think the mixture of pork and ground beef makes a real flavor and texture difference. If you don't have creole seasoning (I put Tony Chachere's in almost everything) just sub seasoning or regular salt. The topping is borrowed from Paula Deen after reading rave reviews of her sauce. I was skeptical of the addition of mustard but you don't taste it at all. Be sure to let the loaf rest 5-10 min to set. I use that time to whip my potatoes and reheat my mushroom gravy. Serve with my oven roasted ratatouille also for an easy and complete meal!

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST MEATLOAF - MOIST & JUICY EVERY TIME

- Choose your meat carefully. It is best to use a blend of meat in your recipe. A mixture of ground beef and pork sausage is ideal to produce a moist and delicious meal.
- Saute your veggies. Whatever vegetables that you choose to use, be sure to saute them in olive oil or butter before adding them to your meat mixture.
- Soak your breadcrumbs/oatmeal. The biggest debate when cooking meatloaf centers around breadcrumbs vs. oatmeal. The only thing that can be agreed upon is that a dry ingredient is needed to help bind the mixture.
- Don’t overmix! Most people prefer to mix the ingredients with their hands. It is just easier. Although this is a great method, most individuals tend to squeeze and mash the mixture together too much.
- Do NOT use a loaf pan. I grew up watching my parents make meatloaf and cooking it in the same loaf pan as we used when we made bread. It made total sense to me.
- Let it rest. After removing it from the oven, even the best meatloaf needs to rest. Simply cover it with foil and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes.

- Use high-fat meat. The leaner the meat, the dryer and grainier the meatloaf. For an all-beef meatloaf, always use a higher-fat cut, at least 15 percent.
- Add moisture at every step. Don't skip adding eggs, ketchup, tomato paste, mustard, Worcestershire, barbecue sauce or some combination of wet seasonings.
- Use soaked crustless bread. For a meatloaf with beef, pork or veal, soak the bread in milk first. For a ground turkey meatloaf, which needs a boost of fat, soak the bread in cream.
- Sauteed vegetables are key. This one extra step makes a huge difference. Sauteed veggies add flavor, texture and moisture. Try a mirepoix, a fancy French word for a combination of carrots, celery and onion.
- Don't play patty cake with the meat. Overmixing will make a meatloaf dry and dense. Start by stirring the wet ingredients together. Then add the sautéed veggies.
- Taste-test the meat mixture. No, it's not advisable to eat raw meat (although many chefs might use this method). Since the only thing worse than a dry meatloaf is a bland one, take a moment to fry up a tiny bit of the mixture — perhaps the size of a teaspoon — to check it for seasoning.
- Give the meatloaf space in the pan. Yes, there is definitely something satisfying about filling a baking pan to the edges with meat goo. Here's the thing: baking meatloaf in a loaf pan will result in a meat brick.
- Glaze it up. Even a meatloaf made with the most amazing, high-quality meat in the world should have a jazzed up top. Straight ketchup works in a pinch, but chili and barbecue sauces are also great alternatives.
- Let it rest. Just like a roast, it's important to let a meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes (tented with foil to keep it hot) before slicing. It helps the loaf set up for easier slicing and, most importantly, it locks in those luscious, precious juices.
THE 7 SECRETS TO A PERFECTLY MOIST MEATLOAF
From thespruceeats.com
- Fat Is Your Friend. No matter which meats you decide to use, the right ratio of lean meat to fat is a critical factor in determining the texture and moisture of your meatloaf.
- Vegetables Are Your Other Friends. By adding finely diced or pureed aromatic vegetables to your mixture, you are adding additional moisture into the meatloaf.
- Use Enough Filler. The function of breadcrumbs in meatloaf is to absorb and retain the juices so you have a moister loaf. Meat by itself will simply drain away the juices and end up dry.
- Do Not Over Mix or Compress the Meat. Mixing your ingredients too much is a very common mistake that can really make for meatloaf with a tough, dry texture.
- Slow and Low Is the Way to Go. Some recipes have you cook your meatloaf at temperatures as high as 425 F. Noted food authority Alton Brown says that the ideal oven temperature for a moist meatloaf is 325 F. If the oven is too hot it will reduce the cooking time, but it tends to dry out the meat.
- Use a Digital Thermometer to Determine Doneness. If you cook your meatloaf too long, it will become dry. But it needs to reach a safe temperature for food safety, so you don't want "rare" meatloaf.
- Let Your Meatloaf Rest. You may be used to letting steaks and roasts rest for 10 minutes before slicing or serving. Resting is also beneficial for meatloaf.
THE PERFECT CLASSIC MEATLOAF RECIPE - BUTTER BE READY
From butterbeready.com
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper that drapes over the sides to easily lift meatloaf, then set the pan aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, onion, breadcrumbs, milk, ketchup, salt, parsley, garlic powder, oregano, pepper, and paprika together. Use your bare hands (with disposable gloves, if desired) to mix everything together until just combined. Careful not to over mix the meat to prevent the meatloaf from being tough.
- To make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and worcestershire together. Use a spoon to mix well until fully combined. Carefully pour the glaze on top of the meatloaf and use a spoon to spread the glaze evenly over it.
