Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 pounds meatloaf mix (or pork and beef combo)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 bay leaf
1 (15-ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Toast the bread crumbs in a dry skillet over medium heat until browned and fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside. Add the olive oil, onions, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet and cook until onions are tender, about 8 minutes. Let cool slightly. Add the onions to the bread crumbs along with the meat, cheese, and Worcestershire sauce. Toss and mix gently. Add the eggs and stir to coat the meat completely.
  • Transfer to a foil-lined sheet pan and gently press into desired shape. Bake until an instant read thermometer registers 160 degrees F in the center of the loaf, about 45 minutes.
  • Tent the meatloaf with foil and let rest for 15 minutes while you make the gravy (or you can make the gravy while the meatloaf is baking).
  • Gravy: Cook the onions, garlic, and oregano in the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste and bay leaf. Stir until paste turns brick red and garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook sauce until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Whisk in Parmesan cheese, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Discard the bay leaf and transfer the sauce to a gravy boat. Slice the meatloaf and serve with the gravy.

Provided by Connors Mama

Categories     Meat

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 Loaf, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs ground beef
1/2-1 cup onion, chopped
4 slices white bread, chopped in food processor

ketchup, enough to make paste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*.

  • Bake at 350* for 45 min, cover the top of the loaf with the glaze and finish baking for 15-20 min longer.
  • Let the loaf sit 10-15 min before slicing.

  • Season the meat mixture generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as oregano, basil, or thyme.
  • Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape and place it in a baking dish. Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • When the meatloaf is done baking, pour the red gravy over the top and serve.
