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.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 -1 1/2 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 small onion, chopped
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 -3 cups thinly sliced mushrooms

  • Cook mushrooms in butter in a skillet for about 5 minutes.
  • Spoon half the chicken mixture into an 8 X 4 inch loaf pan& smooth the surface.
  • Spread the mushrooms over the chicken mixture evenly.
  • Add the rest of the chicken mixture& smooth the surface.

  • Spread the sauce over the top after baking for an hour.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Prep work: Preheat your oven and gather all the necessary ingredients before starting. Mise en place (French for "put in place") is key to a smooth and efficient cooking experience.
  • Breadcrumbs: Use fresh breadcrumbs for a light and airy texture. If you don't have breadcrumbs on hand, you can make your own by pulsing bread cubes in a food processor or blender.
  • Cheese: Use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all popular choices.
  • Vegetables: Chop the vegetables into small pieces so that they cook evenly. Sautéing the vegetables before adding them to the meatloaf mixture will enhance their flavor.
  • Seasoning: Don't be afraid to season the meatloaf mixture generously. A combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder is a good starting point.
  • Baking time: The baking time will vary depending on the size of your meatloaf. A good rule of thumb is to bake it for 45-60 minutes per pound or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
  • Glaze: If desired, you can glaze the meatloaf with barbecue sauce, ketchup, or a mixture of both during the last 15 minutes of baking. This will give it a shiny and flavorful crust.
