MEATLOAF RECIPE

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!

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.

Time 40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups ketchup
1 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20)
1 1/2 pounds ground pork
1 medium onion, grated and lightly squeezed of excess liquid
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
3/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Mix 1/2 cup of the ketchup, the breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, parsley, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce together in a large bowl and set aside until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the liquid, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef and pork, onion, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the bowl and mix until well combined (do not overmix).
  • Transfer the meat mixture to an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan (see Cook's Note) and press it into an even layer covering the entire surface. Whisk the remaining 1 1/2 cups ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and chipotle powder in a small bowl. Brush the meatloaf with the sauce.
  • Bake until the meat is cooked through, about 20 minutes, then turn on the broiler setting and broil until the top becomes caramelized and dark in spots, 3 to 4 minutes more, turning the pan periodically for even broiling. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

MEATLOAF IN A BLANKET



Meatloaf in a Blanket image

Another gem from my sister's family cookbook. This looks like a lot of work, but the steps are really simple and go quickly. The presentation of this is gorgeous -- almost like a "Ground Beef Wellington." Experiment with different breads to give it a different touch each time. Terry adapted this from an early food processor cookbook that advised you to grind the meat yourself. That's not necessary, but PLEASE be sure to use the leanest ground beef and pork possible.

Categories     Pork

Time 2h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 loaf unsliced French bread (sour dough is great, round loaves are easiest to work with)
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1 bunch fresh parsley
1 tomatoes
2 eggs

1 garlic clove, crushed
pepper
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil

1/2 lb ground lean pork
1 hot Italian sausage, ground
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Slice off a 7-inch circle from the top of the loaf and scoop out enough bread to leave about a 1/2-inch thick shell. Save the top of the crust for a "lid.".
  • In a food processor or blender, process the bread into crumbs. (You'll need one cup. If there's extra, save it for another recipe.).
  • Put 1 cup bread crumbs in a large mixing bowl, add milk, and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Finely chop parsley and add to bowl.
  • Dice tomato and add to bowl.
  • Add everything else but the butter to the bowl, roll up your sleeves, and mix well.
  • Pack meat mixture into bread shell. Replace top.
  • Rub butter on bread.
  • Wrap bread in foil and bake at 350 for 2 hours.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut loaf into wedges and serve.
