Good Old Diner Meatloaf - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 1/2 lbs ground chuck
1/2 lb ground pork
3/4 cup beef broth (you can use milk)
1 cup yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (I use seasoned)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 -2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, beef broth, onion, 1-2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano.
Don't overmix, but combine it well (hands work the best).
Transfer meat to a shallow baking pan and shape into a loaf about 5 inches wide.
Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
While meatloaf is baking, combine ketchup, brown sugar and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Pour or spoon over the meatloaf (after the 1 hour, 15 minute baking time). Bake for about 15 more minutes, until temperature reaches 160 degrees in the center of the meatloaf.
Let meatloaf rest 5-10 minutes in baking pan, then remove to a serving platter.
The drippings from the pan are obscene over mashed potatoes.
I've made this with all the beef/pork combo, all beef and even buffalo and beef combined. It's always outrageous (we think). Also,it is better with the beef broth, rather than the milk.
