Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

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 350 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 meatloaf will be dense.
  • Divide the mixture into 6 (10 to 11-ounce) portions and shape each portion into a small loaf on a sheet pan. Spread about a tablespoon of ketchup on the top of each portion. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the internal temperature is 155 to 160 degrees F and the meat loaves are cooked through. Serve hot.

Mini Meatloaves with Broccoli Mash image

This is a great recipe for kids to help with. Have older kids help grate the zucchini and onion. Let younger kids get their (clean) hands dirty by mixing the beef mixture until well blended. They can even help mash the potatoes and broccoli together!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Cooking spray
6 ounces ground beef
6 ounces ground pork
1 small zucchini, grated
1/2 small onion, grated
1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1 large egg, beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 large russet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
2 cups frozen broccoli florets
3 ounces cream cheese
Carrot sticks, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Coat 8 cups of a muffin pan with cooking spray. Combine the ground beef and pork, zucchini, onion, breadcrumbs, egg and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl; mix with your hands until combined. Mix the ketchup, brown sugar and soy sauce in a small bowl.
  • Divide the meatloaf mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing to eliminate any air pockets. Bake 12 minutes. Spread the ketchup mixture on the meatloaves and bake until the glaze sets and the meat is cooked through, about 10 more minutes. Let rest 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain the vegetables and return to the pot. Add the cream cheese and mash well; season with salt. Serve the meatloaves with the broccoli mash and carrot sticks.
