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.

CROCK POT MEATLOAF

This meatloaf is a breeze to make, holds together and slices nicely- a problem I have had with meatloaves in the past. It is a sure winner from my mother-in-law, who is a fabulous cook. Feel free to experiment with Ro-Tel tomatoes or other ingredients.

TURKEY MEAT LOAF (MAGIC BULLET EXPRESS TRIO)



Turkey Meat Loaf (Magic Bullet Express Trio) image

This is a Magic Bullet Express Trio recipe from their website. They don't always give information like how much it makes/servings, cook times, etc. so I apologize if my guessing is off. I'm posting because of the quantity of Magic Bullet requests. I don't have this machine but if you need an explanation of the parts and usage, go their website: www.bulletexpress.com. For extra flavor you can add ketchup or tomato sauce to the top of your meatloaf before cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: Use a combination of lean and fatty ground beef for the best flavor and texture. An 80/20 blend is a good option.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and cumin.
  • Add some moisture: Meatloaf can be dry, so it's important to add some moisture to the mixture. Good options include eggs, milk, bread crumbs, or tomato sauce.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: Cooking the meatloaf at a low temperature will help to keep it moist and juicy. Aim for an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf and prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and delicious. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect meatloaf that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give meatloaf a try.
