Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 bell peppers
1 lb. ground beef
1/4 c. bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1/2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp. tomato paste
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 c. ketchup
1 tbsp. brown sugar
2 c. shredded Monterey Jack
1 tbsp. fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° and line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut ends off peppers and finely chop (minus the stems), then set aside. Remove seeds and slice peppers into 2" thick rings; you should be able to get 2 rings out of each pepper. Place on prepared baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl, combine beef with chopped peppers, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion, thyme, garlic, and tomato paste. Season with salt and pepper and stir until combined. Fill each pepper ring with meat loaf mixture.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup and brown sugar and brush on tops of meat loaves. Bake for 35 minutes, then top with cheese, and bake 5 to 10 minutes more, or until cheese is melty. Garnish with parsley and serve.

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.

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: This will give your meatloaf a more complex flavor. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and oregano.
  • Wrap the meatloaf in bacon: This will help keep it moist and add extra flavor.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a low temperature: This will prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the loaf and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and moist meatloaf that your family and friends will love.
