Meatloaf image

Absolutely yummy moist meatloaf that is our go-to meatloaf. Takes a little while to make, but is really worth it! We made a few changes from the original recipe to make it a little easier to make with what's on hand. We use all ground beef. The original uses fresh chives and also adds red bell pepper (1/4 cup) and 3 Tbsp scallions as well as 6-8 bacon slices. We leave these ingredients out and doesn't affect the flavor for us!

1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
2 lbs ground beef (or 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 pound ground veal, 1/2 pound ground pork)
2 large eggs
1/2 tablespoon dried chives
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon spicy red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup breadcrumbs (I just add what looks right.)
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, celery, bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool.

  • Combine eggs with chives, mustard, salt and pepper, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, cumin, basil, oregano and milk.
  • Add egg mixture to meat in a large bowl along with sauteed vegetables and breadcrumbs. (I usually just add in breadcrumbs until it looks right.).
  • Mix with fingers until evenly blended and not sticking to bowl.
  • Place meat mix in a baking pan and form a loaf. Brush half of glaze over the top and reserve rest for dipping or additional glazing during last 15 minutes.
  • Bake meatloaf about 45-60 minutes until fully cooked. Drain fat and allow loaf to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting.
