Time 1h15m

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)

2 extra-large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup ketchup (recommended: Heinz)

  • Preheat the oven to 350 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.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the internal temperature is 155 to 160 degrees F and the meat loaves are cooked through. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of ground meats. This recipe calls for a combination of ground beef, lamb, and pork, but you can use any combination of ground meats that you like. Just make sure that the total weight of the meat is 2 pounds.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing the meatloaf mixture will make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is the right size. The recipe calls for a 9x5-inch loaf pan. If you use a larger loaf pan, the meatloaf will be too thin and will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a moderate temperature. The recipe calls for cooking the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing it. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf.

Conclusion:

These mini Greek-style meatloaves are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad. Enjoy!
