this is a favorite:
2 eggs, beaten 3/4 c. milk 2/3 c. fine dry bread crumbs or 2 c. soft bread crumbs (I use Panko bread crumbs) 1/4 c. finely chopped onion 2 Tb. snipped fresh parsley 1 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. dried sage, basil, or oregano, crushed 1/8 tsp. black pepper 1.5 lbs. lean ground beef or ground pork 1/4 c. ketchup 2 TB. brown sugar 1 tsp. dry mustard
1. In a medium bowl combine eggs and milk; stir in bread crumbs, onion and spices. Add ground meat; mix well. Lightly pat mixture into a 9x13 pan (it won't fill it up, but make an oval shape out of it.) I spray PAM on the pan first.
2. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 to 11/4 hours or until temp reaches 160 degrees F. In a small bowl combine ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard; spread over meat. Bake for 10 minutes more. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
Notes: The secret to a good meatloaf is to mix it lightly with your hands and not overdo it. I also like the grass fed beef for this recipe. Finally, I actually double the sauce ingredients for the ketchup topping! |
YUMMY! I'm going to try this recipe when we get back to Milwaukee. Thanks for sharing.
