Product Information

Ground beef mixed with onion, Panko breadcrumbs, fresh parsley and seasonings produces an irresistibly tender and juicy meatloaf. The sweet and tangy glaze adds amazing flavor to this classic meatloaf. I didn’t have fresh onion so I used 2 Tbsp of chopped dehydrated onion and the turkey herbs I had leftover from TG last year when I discovered I was all out of Italian seasoning. I also mixed all the ingredients (without the meat) together first, allowed all the moisture to drain out of the GB and then gently mixed everything by hand to make sure it was well incorporated. I let it rest for 5-7 mins while I prepped the loaf pan which I think helped rehydrate the dry ingredients that helped to hold in the moisture. Physically impedes meat proteins from cross-linking, increasing tenderness while simultaneously adding flavor. There can be a lot of questions when it comes to meatloaf. Even though it’s super easy and tastes like a giant hug, there are somethings to keep in mind to keep it divine.

Definitely using this again and I will try it with the Italian seasoning next time! I also subbed the paprika for smoked paprika which really brought a rounded flavor to the meatloaf I feel. Yummmmm Seasonings: This is a mildly seasoned meatloaf that really allows the meat with the glaze to shine. Don’t be afraid to add more seasonings if you desire. You can make it spicy with chili powder and paprika, or make it more Italian flavored with basil, oregano and crushed bay leaves. If added too early, it can cause meat proteins to dissolve and cross-link, creating a bouncier, firmer texture. Helps retain moisture and physically impede meat proteins from cross-linking, increasing tenderness. Binds meat and bread to lend structure without toughness (more effective at binding than egg yolks).These ingredients are all very simple and all can be found, if not already in your pantry, at your local grocery store. It’s amazing that such an amazing dish can come together with ingredients you probably have on hand. Nothing super fancy here, just a good home cooked meal. Combine: In a large bowl combine the beef, onion, parsley, breadcrumb, milk, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix until combined being careful not to over-mix. Press into a 9×5 inch loaf pan.

One of the best things about any meal is how easy it is to prepare and but then how satisfying it is to eat. This is one of those meals. Super easy to put all together, just mix it up and let the oven do all the work and then have an extremely delightful meal to devour. Swedishcharts.com – Meat Loaf – The Very Best of Meat Loaf".

Whisk: In a small bowl whisk together ketchup, vinegar and brown sugar. Brush half of the mixture on top of the meatloaf.Don’t Over-mix Over-mixing can cause your meatloaf to be tough and dense. Also don’t squish it into your pan. Gently shape and place it in your pan. You want some air to circulate around it so that you don’t “steam” the meat. That really won’t taste great.
