Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

5 pounds chopped meat (2 1/2 pounds beef, 2 1/2 pounds pork)

10 eggs
1 chicken bouillon cube, dissolved in 1/2 cup hot water
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
Chopped parsley
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves smashed garlic cloves
2 tablespoons flour
2 (14-ounce) cans chicken stock

1 quart milk
1 pound all-purpose flour

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground meat. A mixture of ground beef and ground pork provides the best flavor and texture for meatloaf. You can also use all beef or all pork, but the meatloaf will be less moist.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients you use, the better your meatloaf will taste. Make sure to use fresh ground meat, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful sauce.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing the meatloaf mixture can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Form the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape. Place the meatloaf mixture in a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. You can also form the meatloaf mixture into individual meatballs.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create a crispy crust on the meatloaf. Then, reduce the temperature and continue baking the meatloaf until it is cooked through.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist.

Perfect Fried Onion Meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of ground beef and pork, fried onions, and a flavorful sauce makes this meatloaf a hit with everyone. Serve Perfect Fried Onion Meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad.
