FAVORITE GOURMET MEATLOAF
This recipe was given to me by a coworker many years ago. Since then, this is about the only meatloaf I make. It usually gets lots of yums and pleases the family. I have given this recipe out so many times, and always get comments on how good and easy it is. I love to serve this with mashed potatoes or mashed garlic potatoes.

GOURMET MEATLOAF
Now I'm not a meatloaf person at all, but I saw this picture in a magazine this month and it looked incredible. I figure what the heck, I'll give it a try. I changed a few things but I'm converted - it was fantastic, gourmet according to the BF. The worst thing was I forgot to take a picture. I made it with Redskin Mashed Potatoes #126500

Tips:
- Choose the right ground meat: A good quality ground beef chuck is a popular choice for meatloaf. You can also use a blend of ground beef and ground pork or ground turkey for a leaner option.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a lot of flavor to meatloaf. Be generous with your seasonings and don't be afraid to experiment.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape: To prevent the meatloaf from falling apart, form it into a loaf shape before baking. You can use a loaf pan or a free-form method.
- Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: Cooking the meatloaf at a low temperature helps to prevent it from drying out. Bake it at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F (70°C).
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more moist and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful meatloaf that will be sure to impress your family and friends.
