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.

LINDA'S MEXICAN MEATLOAF



Linda's Mexican Meatloaf image

I love meatloaf, and love creating new ones to try. This is one that I created with a Mexican twist in mind... It is just wonderful, and is a WINNER for sure!

Provided by Lindas Busy Kitchen

Categories     Meat

Time 1h15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb lean ground beef
1/4 cup instant minced onion or 1 medium onion, diced small
1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Ro-Tel tomatoes
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to your liking (optional)
8 ounces sargento's shredded four-cheese Mexican blend cheese, I use reduced fat

Steps:

  • Mix the hamburger, minced onions, bread crumbs, beaten egg, and Italian Seasoning together well with your hands.
  • Add in the ketchup, 1/2 the can of tomato sauce, and 1/2 the can of Ro-tel tomatoes. Mix well.
  • Put 1/2 the mixture into an oven-proof baking pan (I used a teflon pan), making a square or a circle, whichever you prefer.
  • Cover the top of the meat mixture with a generous amount of cheese, not coming quite to the edge.
  • Top the cheese with the rest of the hamburger mix, and pat down to make a loaf. Press the sides together a little so the cheese won't drip out when cooking.
  • Mix the tomato sauce and Ro-tel tomatoes together and spread on top of the meatloaf.
  • Bake in a 350 oven, for about 30 minutes before taking it out, to drain off the juices in the pan. (I set the juices aside to put in my Mexican Rice, as part of the water to make the rice).
  • Put back in oven for 30 more minutes then take out, and cover to top of the meatloaf with the rest of the cheese.
  • Put back in the oven, and watch carefully for the cheese to melt on top.
  • Remove, cut, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for a flavorful meatloaf. You can also use ground turkey or chicken for a healthier option.
  • Add moisture to the meatloaf by mixing in grated vegetables, such as onions, carrots, or zucchini. You can also use bread crumbs or oats to help bind the meatloaf together.
  • Season the meatloaf generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also add a glaze or sauce to the meatloaf before baking it.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the meatloaf hold its shape.

Conclusion:

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 preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious meatloaf that your family and friends will love.
