Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds ground chuck (80 percent beef, 20 percent fat)
1 1/2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
One 11-gram packet French onion mushroom soup/dip mix
1/4 cup finely grated (like sand baby!) Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, if needed
1 egg, whisked

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Break up the beef and drop loosely in a large bowl. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the beef.
  • In a medium bowl, add the tomatoes, soup mix and Parmesan. Mix and mash up any large chunks of tomatoes using a potato masher. Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary (the mix packet contains lots of seasoning, so you probably won't need to). Add the egg and stir.
  • Pour all but 1/2 cup of the flavor base (tomato mixture) over the top of the beef. Using your less dominant hand with your fingers spread out like a pitchfork, gently mix and fold everything together, turning the bowl with your free hand, until just combined. Don't over-mix!
  • Form the mixture into the shape of a loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet or press gently into a meatloaf pan. Top the loaf with the remaining flavor base. Cook until the internal temperature is 155 degrees F, 50 to 65 minutes. Remove and gently cover with aluminum foil for 10 minutes to allow the ambient heat to bring it to 160 degrees F before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • To ensure a moist and flavorful meatloaf, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork or ground veal.
  • Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meatloaf mixture. This will help to bind the ingredients together and prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry.
  • Sauté the onions until they are caramelized. This will add a rich, sweet flavor to the meatloaf.
  • Use a baking dish that is just large enough to hold the meatloaf. This will help to prevent the meatloaf from shrinking too much.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a moderate temperature (350°F) for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 160°F.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf.

Conclusion:

French onion meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its rich, flavorful sauce and tender, moist meat, French onion meatloaf is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
