Meatloaf is a hearty and comforting dish made with ground meat, typically beef, mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, and various seasonings. It’s often served with mashed potatoes or a side salad for a satisfying meal that’s perfect for cold weather or family gatherings. Here’s a simple recipe to make delicious meatloaf at home:
Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground beef
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup grated onion
– 1 egg, beaten
– 2 tbsp ketchup
– 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 1/2 tsp garlic powder
– 1/4 tsp dried thyme
– 1/4 tsp dried oregano
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated onion, beaten egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and oregano. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down firmly and evenly to shape it into a loaf.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C). Check the temperature with a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf.
5. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade meatloaf with your favorite sides!
