The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound ground beef

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Add the ground beef, ground pork and ground veal (if using) to a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Using either your hands, a sturdy wooden spoon, or the mixer paddle, combine the ingredients until just mixed. Don't overwork and overmix the ingredients. If using a stand mixer, use the lowest possible speed and stop when the ingredients are just combined.
  • Divide the mixture in half and shape it into two loaves on a baking pan lined with either aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the topping ingredients until well mixed.
  • Pour half of the topping over the loaves and set aside the remainder.
  • Cook the meatloaves for one hour. Add the remaining topping when 20 minutes of cooking time remains.
  • Remove from the oven when the internal temperature reads between 160 and 165 degrees on a meat thermometer. Remove from the oven and let stand 15 minutes before serving.
