Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds ground meatloaf mix (equal parts ground beef, pork and veal or turkey)
1 cup dried breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 medium onion, grated
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons light brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Combine the meatloaf mix, breadcrumbs, parsley, eggs, onion, garlic, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, 1 tablespoon of the Worcestershire, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large mixing bowl. Using your hands, mix together until well combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and form it into a compact oval-shaped loaf about 9 inches by 5 inches. Bake the meatloaf for 30 minutes.
  • Stir the brown sugar together with the remaining 1/4 cup ketchup and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire in a small bowl for the glaze. Brush the top and sides of the meatloaf all over with the glaze.

Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

When I moved out on my own I started experimenting with different recipes and creating my own version. I finally came up with the best meatloaf I have ever made, and I wanted to share it.

MEATLOAF, EUROPEAN-STYLE;



Meatloaf, European-Style; image

This is a typical Meatloaf found in eastern European kitchens and restaurants. My Dad who was a wonderful cook brought this with him when he came to America in the 20's. I've added the glaze when I started to prepare it myself. Also he used to use minced garlic, not the other type I now use. Remember to get lean ground pork. The pork I remembered seeing in the supermarkets had very visible pork fat. Try not to purchase that type. Buttered parslied potatoes and cucumber salad go especially well with this dish. You can use either a loaf pan or a 9x13. One tip said she used a loaf pan and was able to extract the grease before adding the glaze. Both pans are usable. See which one works best for you.

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 Loaf, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs ground lean pork
1 whole egg
1 1/2-2 teaspoons salt
1/2-1 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
1 large onion, minced
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon granulated garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 slices white bread
1/4 cup milk
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Toast the bread slices very slightly Just enough to have them dry out a bit. Let cool. Crumble. Add the milk and allow the bread to soak up the milk. If too wet squeeze it out with hands.
  • Heat the olive oil and saute the onion until soft and translucent and slightly golden color. Let cool a little.
  • In a large bowl add the pork, egg, parsley, salt, pepper, bread that has been moistened with the milk, garlic granulated or powdered, and the cooled sauteed onions.
  • Mix really well with hands.
  • Shape into an oval approximately 3" high x 4" wide. Place into a 13"x9" baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 45 minutes. At this point any grease may be removed before glazing.
  • Mix ketchup with the brown sugar. Spread on the top of the meatloaf and continue baking it for another 45 minutes. Uncovered.
  • Let it rest about 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground beef and pork for a flavorful and moist meatloaf.
  • Soak the bread in milk before adding it to the meat mixture. This will help to bind the ingredients together and prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry.
  • Season the meatloaf generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape and place it in a baking dish. Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf and prevent it from falling apart.
  • Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad.

Conclusion:

European-style meatloaf is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a family meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences.
