SAVORY BUTTERMILK MEATLOAF



Savory Buttermilk Meatloaf image

This meatloaf recipe is very flavorful, and as the proverbial description goes, 'melts in your mouth.' As far as vegetables, I only used onions, but their sweetness, along with the simple brown sugar glaze, were a great counterpoint to the others flavors.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Meatloaf Recipes

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, diced
2 ½ pounds ground chuck

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon cider vinegar

Tips:

  • Season the meatloaf well: Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of seasonings in your meatloaf. This is what will give it flavor. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Adding vegetables to your meatloaf will help to keep it moist and flavorful. Some good options include diced onion, celery, carrots, and bell peppers.
  • Don't overcook the meatloaf: Meatloaf is best when it's cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking it will make it dry and tough.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing it: Letting the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing it will help to keep it from falling apart.
  • Serve the meatloaf sandwiches with your favorite toppings: Some good options include ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, and cheese.
