Delicious comfort food, a taste from my childhood. I've used this recipe for years and my family loves it as much as I do. It's good enough for guests, too! Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground chuck |
1/2 lb ground pork |
3/4 cup beef broth (you can use milk) |
1 cup yellow onion, chopped |
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (i use seasoned) |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 -2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
1 egg, slightly beaten |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 cup ketchup |
1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, beef broth, onion, 1-2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano.
3. Don't overmix, but combine it well (hands work the best).
4. Transfer meat to a shallow baking pan and shape into a loaf about 5 inches wide.
5. Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
6. While meatloaf is baking, combine ketchup, brown sugar and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan.
7. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Pour or spoon over the meatloaf (after the 1 hour, 15 minute baking time). Bake for about 15 more minutes, until temperature reaches 160 degrees in the center of the meatloaf.
8. Let meatloaf rest 5-10 minutes in baking pan, then remove to a serving platter.
9. The drippings from the pan are obscene over mashed potatoes.
10. I've made this with all the beef/pork combo, all beef and even buffalo and beef combined. It's always outrageous (we think). Also,it is better with the beef broth, rather than the milk.
