Best Meatloaf Courtesy Of Joe Allen Restaurant Recipes
THE BEST MEATLOAF
We opted for an all-beef meatloaf rather than the traditional mix of beef, veal and pork because we wanted that satisfying big beef flavor. Milk adds richness and tenderizes the meat, preventing it from getting tough or dry. We also cook the onion instead of adding it raw as many recipes suggest, which imparts a welcome sweetness and eliminates that harsh raw onion flavor.

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.
CLASSIC MEATLOAF (FROM FINE COOKING MAGAZINE)
After years of searching, I finally found the best meatloaf recipe, courtesy of Fine Cooking magazine. I actually typically make this without the ground veal and instead use 1 pound of ground beef and 1 pound of ground pork.

- Wrap strips of bacon around the meatlaof, tucking the ends under the loaf.
- Bake the meatloaf for about 50 to 60 minutes for a larger loaf or 25 to 35 for mini loaves. Before slicing, let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes to let the juices redistribute.

THE BEST MEATLOAF I'VE EVER MADE
When I was growing up, my mom never ever made meatloaf and I always wanted to try it - I finally tried it at a restaurant and loved it. When I moved out on my own I started experimenting with different recipes and creating my own version. I finally came up with the best meatloaf I have ever made, and I wanted to share it.

- Combine the meatloaf mix, breadcrumbs, parsley, eggs, onion, garlic, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, 1 tablespoon of the Worcestershire, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large mixing bowl. Using your hands, mix together until well combined.

Return to the oven and bake until the glaze starts to caramelize and a thermometer inserted in the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
MEATLOAF (COURTESY OF JOE ALLEN RESTAURANT)
I found this recipe on Food Network and I wanted to share. This is the most moist meatloaf I have ever eaten! The water bath is the trick I think. I do not use the celery but I have put it in for the sake of the original recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Heat oil. Cook onions, celery, carrots, garlic and thyme until very soft. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, mix remaining ingredients well. Incorporate the cooked vegetables. Pack tightly into a 10 inch loaf pan and cook in a water bath for 1 hour.
- For the water bath I just used a larger pan and filled with water and then set the loaf pan in the water. Also, I put ketchup on the top of my meatloaf before I cooked it.
