Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for greasing
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup whole milk
2 lb ground beef
2 large eggs, beaten
½ cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and golden brown, about 7 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and let the onion mixture cool to room temperature.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the panko and milk. Add the ground beef, eggs, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, pepper, and the onion mixture and use your hands to combine. Do not overmix!
  • Shape the beef mixture into a 10 x 5-inch loaf on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top and sides with ketchup.
  • Bake the meatloaf until the top is browned and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C), about 50 minutes.
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Meat: Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for a moist and flavorful meatloaf. You can also add ground turkey or lamb for a leaner option.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices for the best flavor. Fresh breadcrumbs will also help to keep the meatloaf moist.
  • Don't Overmix the Meat: Overmixing the meat can make the meatloaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Shape the Meatloaf Properly: Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape and place it in a baking dish. Make sure the meatloaf is not too thick or it will not cook evenly.
  • Bake the Meatloaf at the Right Temperature: Bake the meatloaf at 350°F for 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F.
  • Let the Meatloaf Rest: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the meatloaf to stay moist and prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful meatloaf that your family and friends will love. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad, and you have a complete and satisfying meal.
