MEATLOAF RECIPE



Meatloaf recipe image

Recipe video above. Meatloaf is so much more than a giant hunk of ground beef in a loaf shape. It should ooze with flavour, be moist and tender yet not crumble apart when sliced. And the caramelised glaze is the crowning glory!

Provided by Nagi

Categories     Main

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup panko breadcrumbs ((Note 1))
1 large onion (, grated (brown, yellow))
1 kg / 2 lb ground beef (mince) (, preferably not lean)
2 eggs
3 garlic cloves (, minced)
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 cup tomato ketchup
1/4 cup chopped parsley ((optional), or 2 tsp dried parsley or basil)
1 tsp dried thyme
2 beef bouillon cubes (, crumbled or 2 tsp beef powder (Note 2))
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup tomato ketchup
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp brown sugar (, lightly packed)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Oil or spray a loaf tin. (Note 3)
  • Glaze: Mix together in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Meatloaf: Place breadcrumbs in a very large bowl. Grate over onion. Mix so the breadcrumbs are all wet. (Note 4)
  • Add remaining ingredients. Mix well using your hands. Form into a loaf shape, pinching together then smoothing over creases and cracks (helps prevent cracks during baking).
  • Transfer into loaf tin. Brush generously with glaze, using about 1/2.
  • Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with most of the remaining glaze. If there is excess fat pooling, scoop/pour it off.
  • Bake for a further 30 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • Stand for 10 minutes before turning out and cutting into thick slices. You will probably get a bit of crumbling just on the edges of the first couple of slices, this is normal and indicative of the tenderness of the meatloaf (zero crumble indicates firm packed harder meatloaf which isn't as enjoyable!).
  • Ideal served with a dollop of ketchup, creamy mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.

Provided by Cat Loving Cook

Categories     Meat

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 meatloaves, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs ground meat, I like to use a mix of ground turkey and ground beef
3/4 cup breadcrumbs, plain
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1/2 cup ketchup
2 eggs
3 tablespoons onion soup mix (one packet)
1/2 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine meat, bread crumbs, onion, ketchup, eggs, and onion soup mix.
  • Use your hands to squish all of the ingredients together until all of the ingredients are well combined.
  • Form the meat mixture into two "loaves." At this point, I usually wrap one of the loaves in press and seal freezer wrap and toss it in the freezer. However, if you have a larger family, you'll probably want to cook both.
  • Put the two loaves in a 13x9 baking pan and bake for 45 minutes.
  • While the loaves are baking, mix up the sauce by stirring the ketchup, the brown sugar, and the mustard together until smooth. Set aside.
  • After 45 minutes, take the meat loaves out and spread the sauce over the tops.
  • Placed the sauced loaves back in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Let the meat loaves cool for 5 - 10 minutes before cutting them.
  • Enjoy!
  • P.S. To cook a frozen meatloaf, take the frozen meat loaf out the day before you want to cook it and let it thaw in the refrigerator. Cook as stated above.
  • P.S.S. This meatloaf pairs wonderfully with my super yummy corn casserole!

YAYA'S EASY AND DELICIOUS MEATLOAF



Yaya's Easy and Delicious Meatloaf image

This is my families' fave meatloaf ever. At least 3 people so far, all of whom swore they hated all meatloaf, now make this at least twice per month. Hopefully you will find this just as easy and tasty as we do. I use whatever ground beef happens to be on sale. If you have the means and can afford very lean gr. beef, you will find this meatloaf to still be nice and juicy. *NOTE* If you really need to make this stretch, use 2 pkgs. of the stuffing mix and everything else stays the same. I do this sometimes because the extra $0.79 makes it go further. Oops ... I meant to list 2.5 lbs ground beef ... not just 2 lbs. so yes ... it would come out a tad salty with the extra ground beef omitted. Thanks for the nice review. :)

Categories     Meat

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 loaves, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 lbs ground beef
2 (1 ounce) envelopes dry onion soup mix
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 (6 ounce) package chicken stove top stuffing mix, I use the store brand
1 large bell pepper, chopped small
1 large onion, chopped small
1/2 cup water, medium hot

Steps:

  • Put the stuffing mix into a large mixing bowl and add water. Mix with hands until stuffing feels good and moist. You may need a bit more than the half cup.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the stuffing mix. Using your clean hands, mix very well -- make sure everything is really mixed up well.
  • Place mixture into 2 ungreased meatloaf pans. Pack firmly.
  • Using your fingers, press down all around the sides of the meatloaves seperating the sides about 1" away from the pan -- the top of the loaves will look a bit rounded (this helps allow the grease to run off the top of the loaves).
  • Bake on middle oven rack at 350 - degrees for about 1 hour. Let cool for
  • 10-15 minutes before slicing.
  • *NOTE* I usually can test doneness by the way the center of the loaf feels when I touch it (feels about like the area around my wrist). If you are new to cooking, you may want to stick a knife in the center of the loaf and if the juices run clear (no blood) then it is done. Those more experienced than I may want to use a meat thermometer but I have no idea what it should read. LOL.

EASY MEATLOAF



Easy meatloaf image

This is my mom's very simple and very delicious meatloaf recipe. **Be careful- it's been reviewed as very salty!! It may not need the salt called for in the recipe. It is probably the Progresso breadcrumbs. I use kosher meat which does not need extra salt because it is already salted and also contributes to the flavor- I've tried and the flavor hasn't come out as good with other meat.

Provided by Pax44

Categories     Meat

Time 1h5m

Yield 1-1 1/2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 -1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 egg
1 cup progresso garlic and herb-seasoned breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons water
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • Combine all ingredients in medium bowl.
  • Mix well with hands until thoroughly blended.
  • Spread into loaf pans- loosely, don't pack too tightly.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45-50 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until top is brown (raise oven temp to 350 at this point for a crispier top).

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground meat: A combination of ground beef and pork is a classic choice for meatloaf, but you can also use all beef, all pork, or a mixture of other ground meats, such as turkey or lamb.
  • Use fresh breadcrumbs: Fresh breadcrumbs will help to bind the meatloaf together and give it a light, fluffy texture. You can make your own breadcrumbs by tearing bread into small pieces and then toasting them in the oven, or you can buy them pre-made.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overworking the meat will make it tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are evenly combined.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf: Place the meatloaf mixture into a greased loaf pan and shape it into a loaf shape. You can also form the meatloaf into individual patties, if desired.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: Meatloaf should be cooked at a low temperature, around 350 degrees Fahrenheit, to prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before serving: Once the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit with the family. With a few simple tips, you can make a meatloaf that is moist, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give meatloaf a try. You won't be disappointed!
