Time 1h15m

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 350 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 meatloaf will be dense.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the internal temperature is 155 to 160 degrees F and the meat loaves are cooked through. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground meat: For a moist and flavorful meatloaf, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. You can also use ground turkey or chicken, but these meats tend to be leaner and may require more moisture.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your meatloaf will taste. Use fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables for the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf can make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out. Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before serving: This will help the meatloaf to retain its juices. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Individual meat loaves are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make the best individual meat loaves that everyone will love.
