Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Cooking spray
2 slices bacon, cut in half
1 medium carrot, cut into thirds
1 medium stalk celery, cut into thirds
1/2 medium onion
1 1/2 pounds meatloaf mix (equal parts ground beef, pork and veal or turkey)
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons chopped dill pickle
2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon pickle brine
2 teaspoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  • Combine the bacon, carrot, celery and onion in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the meatloaf mix. Add the quinoa, raisins, pickle, thyme, eggs, 2 teaspoons of the Worcestershire and 1 teaspoon salt to the meatloaf base. Using your hands, mix together until well combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Form into a 9-by-5-inch loaf. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Stir together the ketchup, pickle brine, brown sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon Worcestershire in a small bowl for a glaze.
  • Brush the glaze on the meatloaf and lightly sprinkle with oats. Bake the meatloaf until it is golden brown all over and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes more. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef:For a juicy and flavorful meatloaf, use a combination of 80% lean and 20% fat ground beef.
  • Soak the breadcrumb:Soaking the breadcrumb in milk or water helps to bind the meatloaf together and keeps it moist.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf:Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf:To ensure even cooking, shape the meatloaf into a loaf that is about 9 inches long and 5 inches wide.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a moderate temperature:Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing:Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the meatloaf to reabsorb its juices and makes it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Mouthwatering and delectable, this Tangy Meatloaf recipe promises a culinary symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. Its tangy glaze, a harmonious blend of sweet and zesty notes, perfectly complements the succulent meatloaf. With its easy-to-follow instructions, even novice cooks can create this delightful dish that is sure to become a family favorite.
