Ina Garten Meat Loaf
I saw this recipe from Ina Garten in House Beautiful.
It was featured along with her recipe for Barefoot
Contessa's Roasted Tomatoes, which are delicious and a perfect accompaniment
to this flavorful and moist meat loaf.
This
recipe is for individual meat loaves. I made the recipe and split it into two
separate meat loaves. I cooked one and then the next night I cooked the other.
What we realized was that the meatloaf made with the mixture that had been refrigerated
overnight had much more flavor. Please read my "cook's tips"
following the recipe.
Ina
Garten (individual) Meat Loaf
* 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)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 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 meatloaf will be dense.
Divide the mixture into 6 (10 to 11-ounce) portions and shape each portion into a small loaf on a sheet pan. Spread about a tablespoon of ketchup on the top of each portion. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the internal temperature is 155 to 160 degrees F and the meat loaves are cooked through.
Serve hot.
Cook's
tips: I used an 80%-20% ground beef mix. Mix up this meat loaf the day before
you plan to cook it, you'll get much more flavor. If
you prefer you can make one or two loaves, cook for one hour to one hour fifteen
minutes at 350 until the internal temp is 155 - 160 degrees F.
