THE BEST MEATLOAF
We opted for an all-beef meatloaf rather than the traditional mix of beef, veal and pork because we wanted that satisfying big beef flavor. Milk adds richness and tenderizes the meat, preventing it from getting tough or dry. We also cook the onion instead of adding it raw as many recipes suggest, which imparts a welcome sweetness and eliminates that harsh raw onion flavor.

Steps:
- Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl until completely combined. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and lightly golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add 3 tablespoons of the ketchup and cook until most of the moisture has evaporated and the mixture is thick and brick red colored, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the onions cool slightly. Then add them to the beaten eggs and mix to combine.
- Add the beef to the egg and onion mixture. Break up the meat with a fork or wooden spoon, and then mix to thoroughly combine; you don't want to see any lumps of raw beef. Add the panko and mix to combine. Stir the meat vigorously with a wooden spoon for about 7 seconds; it will become more homogenous and tackier.
- Transfer the meat to the prepared baking sheet and shape into a 9-by-5-inch loaf. Smooth the top and evenly spread the remaining ketchup over top. Bake for 5 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 150 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

From oldworldgardenfarms.com
- The Type Of Ground Meat Matters. Although most classic meatloaf recipes use ground beef as the base of the recipe, it is actually best to use a combination of meat.
- Saute Your Vegetables. Vegetables are a wonderful addition to any meatloaf recipe. Not only do they add more flavor, but they also add texture. However, in order to get the best moist and tender meatloaf you need to saute the vegetables before adding them to the meat mixture.
- Soak The Breadcrumbs or Oatmeal. The biggest debate when cooking meatloaf centers around whether it is best to use breadcrumbs or oatmeal. The only thing that can be agreed upon is that some sort of dry ingredient is needed to help bind the mixture together.
- Don’t Over Mix The Ingredients! I am sure that you have all heard by now that the worst thing that you can do is over mix the ingredients when making meatloaf.
- Do NOT Use a Loaf Pan. I grew up watching my parents make meatloaf and cooking it in the same loaf pan as we used when we made bread. At the time it made total sense to me because we were making a loaf of meat.
- Let It Rest. After removing the meatloaf from the oven it is best practice to let it rest. This will allow the juices enough time to redistribute inside the meat so that you don’t end up with all the juices on the surface of the baking sheet.
