SAVORY HERB MEATLOAF
This is by far my favorite meatloaf recipe. It is moist and savory, and has always been a big hit anytime I've made it. If you want to lighten it up, you can substitute ground turkey, and it still turns out great!

SAVORY HERB MEATLOAF
I don't really care for meatloaf with ketchup, so I came up with a more herb flavored recipe with a roasted red pepper cream sauce. This recipe makes 2 good sized loaves, so you may want to halve the recipe. The sauce is a modified recipe from Food & Wine Magazine.

Steps:
- Meatloaf Directions.
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Remove the crust from the rye, cit it into cubes and set it aside to go a little stale.
- Sautee the onions over medium heat until just starting to caramelize.
- Add mushrooms, minced garlic, salt and dill and cook until mushrooms start to soften.
- Drain off and discard the liquid (I use a sieve and coffee filter to keep the herbs in the mix).
- Slice the roasted red peppers into 1/4" strips and add to the mushroom mix.
- Mix the beef with the rye and the rest of the ingredients (except the vegetable mix) until smooth.
- Mix in vegetable mix until eavenly distributed, then form into loaves. I use 2 9 1/2"x13" cake pans. The loaves don't touch the sides, but they hold shape well.
- Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until at least 155 degrees internal temperature.
- Sauce directions.
- Remove the crusts form the sourdough, cube and set aside to go stale.
- Drain the peppers, keeping about 2 oz of the liquid (if you roast your own peppers, just use 2 oz of water), cut the peppers into wide strips (1 1/2"-2").
- Put the peppers, 2 oz liquid, garlic, olive oil, chili, cayenne, salt and cumin in a large sauce pan over medium heat.
- Once it starts to boil, lower the heat, cover the pan and simmer for 10 min, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the cover and raise the heat level to cook off any remaining liquid then pour peppers into a food processor or blender (blender not ideal, but should work).
- In a seperate bowl, whisk together the sherry , vinegar and lemon juice.
- Toss the bread cubes in the liquid until it's all absorbed.
- Add the bread to the peppers along with the sriracha and walnuts, blend into a coarse paste and add salt to your taste.
- This can be served as a dip at this point, but for our purpose add the half and half and mix until evenly blended, serve warm over the meatloaf.

Tips:
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. Oregano, thyme, sage, and rosemary are all excellent choices.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
- Use a loaf pan that is just large enough to hold the meatloaf mixture. A too-large pan will result in a thin, dry meatloaf.
- Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the meatloaf. A properly preheated oven will help the meatloaf cook evenly.
- Bake the meatloaf for the correct amount of time. An undercooked meatloaf will be too soft, while an overcooked meatloaf will be dry and tough.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing it. This will help the meatloaf hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
This savory herbs beef meatloaf recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The herbs add a flavorful twist to the classic meatloaf, and the Worcestershire sauce gives it a rich, umami flavor. Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad, and enjoy!
