THE CADILLAC OF MEATLOAF

The yogurt is the secret ingredient in this meatloaf! You can use a mixture of ground beef, veal and pork if desired. To save time you can saute the mushroom/onion mixture a day in advance and refrigerate. Also chili sauce or ketchup can be spread on top of the meatloaf before baking. For Italian-style breadcrumbs see recipe#203857, if you are using this recipe for breadcrumbs reduce the Parmesan cheese to 1/4 cup and omit the thyme.

Use high-quality ground beef.An 80/20 blend of chuck and sirloin is ideal.
Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can result in a tough meatloaf.
Add plenty of flavorings to the meatloaf mixture. This could include things like bread crumbs, eggs, onions, garlic, herbs, and spices.
Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape and place it on a baking sheet. Top with a glaze or sauce, if desired.
Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.
