Meatloaf recipe (extra delicious!)
This extra delicious meatloaf recipe is moist, tender, and bursting with flavor, featuring a caramelised glaze for the perfect finish.
Equipment
- loaf tin
Ingredients
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (Note 1)
- 1 large onion grated (brown, yellow)
- 1 kg ground beef (mince), preferably not lean
- 2 eggs
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- ¼ cup tomato ketchup
- ¼ cup chopped parsley (optional), or 2 teaspoon dried parsley or basil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cubes beef bouillon crumbled or 2 teaspoon beef powder (Note 2)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Meatloaf Glaze
- ½ cup tomato ketchup
- 2 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar lightly packed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Oil or spray a loaf tin. (Note 3)
- Mix together glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Place breadcrumbs in a very large bowl. Grate over onion. Mix so the breadcrumbs are all wet. (Note 4)
- Add remaining ingredients. Mix well using your hands. Form into a loaf shape, pinching together then smoothing over creases and cracks.
- Transfer into loaf tin. Brush generously with glaze, using about ½.
- Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with most of the remaining glaze. If there is excess fat pooling, scoop/pour it off.
- Bake for a further 30 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Stand for 10 minutes before turning out and cutting into thick slices.
- Serve with a dollop of ketchup, creamy mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
Notes
Panko breadcrumbs are larger than normal breadcrumbs so they make the meatloaf softer. Bouillon cubes add so much better flavour to the meatloaf compared to just plain salt. My loaf pan is 23 x 13 x 6 cm / 9 x 5 x 2.5".
