MEAT LOAF

Nothing says classic comfort like Ina Garten's Meatloaf recipe from Barefoot Contessa on Food Network.

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon good olive oil
3 cups chopped yellow onions (3 onions)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup canned chicken stock or broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 1/2 pounds ground chuck (81 percent lean)
1/2 cup plain dry bread crumbs (recommended: Progresso)
2 extra-large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup ketchup (recommended: Heinz)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan. Add the onions, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not brown. Off the heat, add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, 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 the meat loaf will be dense. Shape the mixture into a rectangular loaf on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F and the meat loaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven, under the meat loaf, will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot.

THE PERFECT MEATLOAF



The Perfect Meatloaf image

Super moist meatloaf packed with tons of flavor. Simple ingredients and effortless to make. Once you try this recipe, you will never try any other.

Provided by Ryda Mae

Categories     Meatloaf

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup whole milk
6 slices white bread
2 lbs ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 diced onion
4 beaten eggs
10 slices bacon
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Tabasco sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Pour milk over the bread slices. Allow it to soak in for several minutes.
  • Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Add in your beaten eggs.
  • USE YOUR HANDS and git in there, mix it up well.
  • Form into a log. Hint: don't "smoosh" it down to tight, that just compacts the meat and tends to make for a dense er heavy meatloaf. I honest and truly believe THIS step was the defining factor in the most juiciest meatloaf I have ever eaten.
  • Lay bacon slices across the top, width wise, tucking the ends underneath the meatloaf.
  • Spread a good amount of sauce onto your loaf, leaving a little for your second application later in cooking process.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, then slather the rest of the sauce over the top.
  • Bake for 15 more minutes or so, you can raise oven temperature to 400 after the second application,.
