Meatloaf, a classic comfort food that can bring both joy and frustration to the table. Whether you love it or hate it, there’s no denying that a well-executed meatloaf can be a thing of beauty. Now, let’s set the record straight and make a meatloaf that will knock your socks off!
To start, here are the ingredients you’ll need for a classic beef meatloaf:
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup milk
Now, let’s get cooking:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and milk. Use your hands to mix everything thoroughly, ensuring that all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Once the meatloaf mixture is well combined, transfer it to a baking dish or loaf pan. Shape it into a loaf shape, smoothing the top with your hands.
- Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
- While the meatloaf is baking, you can prepare a glaze if desired. A simple glaze can be made by combining ketchup, brown sugar, and a splash of vinegar. Brush the glaze over the meatloaf during the last 15 minutes of baking.
- Once the meatloaf is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Wine Pairing
For a classic beef meatloaf, I recommend pairing it with a full-bodied red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon. The robust flavors of the wine will complement the hearty and savory nature of the meatloaf. Consider trying a bottle of Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon for a perfect pairing.
Now, take a bite of this delightful meatloaf and let it soothe your weary soul. Enjoy!
