Individual Meat Loaves (Barefoot Contessa) Ina Garten image

Copyright 2005, Ina Garten. We made these instead of burgers for one of the "picnic, hamburger & hot dog" cookout holidays. We have a disadvantage here at the home, the resident's will ignore any food they don't recognize. So we tried these and they loved them! Yay! These are even good enough for company!

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups chopped yellow onions
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leave
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 1/2 lbs 81% lean ground chuck
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs (recommended Progresso)
2 extra-large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup ketchup (recommended Heinz)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium sauté pan. Add the onions, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not brown. (We cooked ours longer, as we like them caramelized, 10-15 minutes).
  • Off the heat, add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken broth, and tomato paste. Allow to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, onion mixture, bread crumbs, and eggs, and mix lightly with a fork.
  • DON'T MASH or meatloaf will be dense.
  • Divide the mixture into 6(10-11 oz)portions.(That is what the recipe calls for but we made them about 4-6 oz).
  • Then shape each portion into a small loaf on a baking sheet.
  • Spread about a tablespoon of ketchup on top of each portion.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the internal temperature is 155º-160ºF and the meat loaves are cooked through.
  • Serve hot.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatloaves turned out perfectly. They were moist and flavorful, and the glaze was delicious. I served them with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a perfect meal.

These meatloaves were a little dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would add more moisture next time, maybe by adding some chopped vegetables or using a different type of meat.

I'm not usually a fan of meatloaf, but these individual meatloaves were really good! The flavor was great and the texture was moist. I would definitely make them again.

These meatloaves were delicious! The combination of ground beef, pork, and veal made them so flavorful. I also loved the addition of the bread crumbs and eggs, which helped to bind the meatloaf together. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The meatloaves are moist and flavorful, and the glaze is the perfect finishing touch. I also love that you can make them ahead of time and just reheat them when you're ready to serve.

These meatloaves were so easy to make and they turned out so well! I love that they're individual so you can control the portion size. I also liked that I could customize the glaze to my own taste. I will definitely be making these again.
