THE BEST MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl until completely combined. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and lightly golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add 3 tablespoons of the ketchup and cook until most of the moisture has evaporated and the mixture is thick and brick red colored, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the onions cool slightly. Then add them to the beaten eggs and mix to combine.
• Add the beef to the egg and onion mixture. Break up the meat with a fork or wooden spoon, and then mix to thoroughly combine; you don't want to see any lumps of raw beef. Add the panko and mix to combine. Stir the meat vigorously with a wooden spoon for about 7 seconds; it will become more homogenous and tackier.
• Transfer the meat to the prepared baking sheet and shape into a 9-by-5-inch loaf. Smooth the top and evenly spread the remaining ketchup over top. Bake for 5 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 150 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

BONNIE'S MEATLOAF WITH PROSCIUTTO SURPRISE

Steps:

• MAKE THE PROSCIUTTO EGGS Place eggs from the fridge into a sauce pan and cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, don't boil fast, just keep the water moving. Set the timer for 10 minutes. Remove as soon as it dings. Run cold water over the eggs until the water is cool, add ice to cool off the eggs. Then peel them. Wrap them in one piece of prosciutto like I did in my photo. Set aside.
• THE MEAT Place ground beef in a medium mixing bowl.
• ADD THE INGREDIENTS Add the oats, eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic and 1/2 can of tomato sauce. Mix well to combine, then add the remainder of the oats just until it will hold its shape.
• FIRST LAYER Divide the meat in half. Place one half of the meat in the bottom of a meat loaf pan. Place the prosciutto eggs down the center of the loaf lengthwise. 4 eggs will fit end to end.
• SECOND LAYER Form the second layer and lay it gently over the top of the prosciutto eggs and first layer, seal the two layers together by gently patting the loaf. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate for a while until it sets.
• BAKE Remove the saran wrap! Set the oven to 350 degrees, place the cold meatloaf in the oven at the star of preheating. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until thermometer almost reaches the temperature for beef.
• GLAZE Open the oven, pull out the rack, leave the meatloaf on the rack and pour the tomato sauce carefully and evenly over the entire top and sides of the meatloaf. Bake 20 minutes until glazed. Slice and serve.
• Eat and Enjoy!
