Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs ground beef (the leaner the better)
1 tablespoon flour
2 pinches nutmeg
1/2 onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 egg
4 slices bacon, cut up into small pieces (optional)
salt and pepper
2 carrots, shredded (optional)
1 pepper, sliced (optional)
2 -3 hard-boiled eggs (optional)

Steps:

Mix all of the ingredients except the optional ones in a bowl and mix well.
On a sheet of aluminum foil, spread out the meat mixture (you're going to roll it in a second).
Lay out in the middle your shredded carrots, peppers, and hard-boiled eggs.
Roll the meat up, joining the ends and the seam so it looks like a log. The foil will help you. Use the foil to keep it closed for cooking.
Cook at 350 for 45 mins to an hour. At 40 mins, open the foil a bit to check.

Time 1h25m

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)
1/2 cup plain dry bread crumbs (recommended: Progresso)
2 extra-large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup ketchup (recommended: Heinz)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 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.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, onion mixture, bread crumbs, and eggs, and mix lightly with a fork. Don't mash or the meat loaf will be dense. Shape the mixture into a rectangular loaf on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F and the meat loaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven, under the meat loaf, will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot.
