MAMA'S MEATLOAF



Mama's Meatloaf image

I discovered the basic recipe years ago, and improved on it over the years. My southern mother was horrified that it wasn't made with milk, but when she tasted it she agreed it was an exceptionally good recipe. It's a family favorite, and I'm asked to take it to picnics and pot lucks.

Provided by Stella Mae

Categories     Meat

Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb lean ground beef
1 onion, diced
1/2 cup progresso breadcrumbs
1/2 cup catsup or 1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 egg
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce or 1 1/2 tablespoons honey tamari soy sauce
1 -2 tablespoon flat-leaf Italian parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Some cooks put all ingredients into a loaf pan "raw", but I prefer to sauté the onions first to take the "bite" out of them.
  • Drain and set aside to cool.
  • Into a large bowl place the ground beef, bread crumbs, catsup, egg, Worcestershire sauce and parsley.
  • Add the sautéed onions to this mixture.
  • Wash your hands and delve into this mixture like a mad man, squish it between your fingers and mix it very well.
  • Form a loaf in a baking dish, leaving at least 1-inch around the sides so fat can drain off.
  • Bake at 350°F about 45 minutes or until done.
  • Serve this delicious meatloaf as is or with my recipe for curry sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground meat: A combination of ground beef and ground pork is a classic choice for meatloaf, but you can also use all beef, all pork, or a mixture of other ground meats, such as lamb or veal.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your meatloaf will taste. Look for fresh, lean ground meat, and use fresh herbs and vegetables whenever possible.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of seasonings in your meatloaf. A good starting point is 1 tablespoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder per pound of ground meat.
  • Mix the meatloaf thoroughly: Be sure to mix the meatloaf ingredients thoroughly so that they are evenly distributed. This will help ensure that the meatloaf cooks evenly and has a consistent flavor.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf: Once the meatloaf ingredients are mixed, shape them into a loaf. You can use a loaf pan or a free-form shape. If you are using a loaf pan, grease it lightly with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the meatloaf for 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Once the meatloaf is done baking, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful meatloaf that will be the star of your next meal. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying dish, give meatloaf a try!
