1/4 tsp. seasoned salt
3/4 tsp. salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 c. minced flat-leaf parsley

10 slices thin/regular bacon
For the Sauce:

Enjoy this, my friends! If you're on the fence about meatloaf, or even if you've written it off entirely as something you'd never ever try, give this a shot. Consider it adventure eating, like huitlacoche. Or calf nuts.

THE BEST MEATLOAF I'VE EVER MADE



The Best Meatloaf I've Ever Made image

When I was growing up, my mom never ever made meatloaf and I always wanted to try it - I finally tried it at a restaurant and loved it. When I moved out on my own I started experimenting with different recipes and creating my own version. I finally came up with the best meatloaf I have ever made, and I wanted to share it.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Meatloaf Recipes     Beef Meatloaf Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds extra-lean ground beef
3 slices bread, toasted and crumbled
7 buttery round crackers, crushed
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 ½ tablespoons sour cream
1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, divided
¼ cup milk
3 tablespoons ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion and garlic 5 minutes, until onion is tender. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large bowl, mix the onion and garlic, beef, crumbled bread, crushed crackers, egg, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 can tomato sauce. Gradually stir in the milk 1 teaspoon at a time until mixture is moist, but not soggy. Transfer the mixture to a 5x9 inch loaf pan.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground meats: This will give your meatloaf a more complex flavor and texture. Ground beef and ground pork are a classic combination, but you can also use ground turkey, lamb, or veal.
  • Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing the meat will make your meatloaf tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Add plenty of moisture: Meatloaf can be dry, so it's important to add plenty of moisture. This can be done by adding eggs, milk, bread crumbs, or vegetables. You can also use a sauce or gravy to keep the meatloaf moist.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Don't be afraid to season your meatloaf liberally. Salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder are all classic seasonings that work well with meatloaf. You can also add other herbs and spices to your taste.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out. The ideal temperature for cooking meatloaf is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make the best meatloaf you've ever tasted. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give meatloaf a try.
