OUR FAVORITE MEATLOAF



Our Favorite Meatloaf image

This ultimate meatloaf recipe took rounds and rounds of testing to get just right. Our final version incorporates an ideal blend of seasoned ground beef and pork, aromatics, and breadcrumbs and bakes in a freeform loaf on a baking sheet instead of in a loaf pan for maximum browning. The result is a loaf that is savory, tender, and juicy, yet holds together well when sliced.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of meats: Leslie's recipe uses a combination of ground beef, pork, and veal, but you can use any type of ground meat that you like. Ground turkey, lamb, or venison would all be good options.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf will make it tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan with a lid: A loaf pan with a lid will help to keep the meatloaf moist during baking.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a low temperature: Baking the meatloaf at a low temperature will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf.

Conclusion:

Leslie's breakfast meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a weekend brunch or breakfast. The meatloaf is moist and flavorful, and the addition of cheese and eggs makes it extra special. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad.
