Categories     main-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
1 pound pork sausage, meat removed from casings
2 eggs
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
One 32-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
5 cloves garlic
1 yellow onion
1 Anaheim chile
1/2 red onion
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup yellow mustard
Kosher salt and ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the meatloaf: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place beef, sausage, eggs and panko in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Place tomatoes, vinegar, Worcestershire, oregano, pepper, thyme, kosher salt, seasoning salt, garlic, yellow onion, chile and red onion in a high-powered blender and puree. Reserve half of this mixture for the tomato gravy. Pour the remaining half into the mixing bowl with the meat. Mix the meat really well with your hands until the meatloaf mixture is all the same color.
  • Pack the meatloaf mixture into a 6-by-11-inch pan (or something similar). Place pan on a baking sheet to catch any fat that spills out during cooking. Bake the meatloaf until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 155 degrees F, 1 hour 30 minutes. Let meatloaf rest for 10 minutes, then pour the fat out of the pan.
  • For the tomato gravy: Meanwhile, whisk together ketchup, tomato paste, mustard and reserved vegetable mix in a saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring up to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, then simmer, stirring every couple of minutes, for 30 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve the tomato gravy with your finished meatloaf! Most importantly, enjoy with friends and family!

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 Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 medium onions, sliced thin
6 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
3 large ripe tomatoes, cored and chopped
1 cup bread crumbs
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 large egg
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons finely minced Italian parsley
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the onions in a heavy skillet, preferably nonstick. Cover and cook on low heat about 10 minutes, until the onions are soft and just beginning to brown. Stir in the garlic and cook a minute or so longer. Remove one-third of this mixture from the pan and set aside.
  • Add one-third of the tomatoes to the pan and cook about five minutes, until the excess liquid has evaporated. Transfer mixture to food processor and process to chop very fine.
  • Place the finely chopped onion mixture in a bowl and mix well with the bread crumbs, the beef, the egg, oregano, half the parsley, the red pepper and salt and pepper. Form the mixture into a loaf and place in a shallow baking dish. Bake 90 minutes.
  • While the meatloaf is baking, return the reserved onion mixture to the skillet. Add the remaining tomatoes and the olive oil. Simmer over medium heat about 10 minutes. Add the reserved parsley and season to taste with crushed red pepper, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set this sauce aside until you are ready to serve the meatloaf, then reheat the sauce and serve it alongside.

Tips:

  • To ensure the juiciest meatloaf, use a combination of ground beef and pork. The pork adds extra moisture and flavor to the dish.
  • Season the meatloaf generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to develop a flavorful crust and interior.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf.
  • To prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry, wrap it in bacon or prosciutto before baking. This will help to keep the moisture in the meat.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the loaf.

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages.
