This Family Style Meatloaf is your new go-to. It’s hearty and easy to make for a no-fuss meal any day of the week. The best part about this dish is the leftovers!
我觉得像肉饼是，每个人都有自己的一套美好的回忆或家庭的故事告诉，或者那些食亚博娱乐国际app谱之一，他们知道谁做的是“最好的”版本。比如，我记得我的哥哥迈克尔说一会儿在晚餐后“蛋白酶，用妈妈做最好的肉饼，不是吗？我从来没有像肉饼她用来做。”
While I don’t remember how or why that came up, I do remember, oddly, that we weren’t eating meatloaf, and for some reason, it’s just stuck with me ever since. Now, every time I have meatloaf, I remember my brother Mike saying how mom used to make it the best. That’s always the first thing that comes to mind, and then I think of my mother’s version of the recipe. It’s a pleasant duality of memories wrapped inside a single, simple recipe.
While preparing today’s post, I called my son into the kitchen and asked him – “Meatloaf, quick, what’s the first thing you think of?”
“Super Storm Sandy,” he replied without a moment’s worth of hesitation.
The three word answer took a moment to sink in as I continued working my chop meat, and then I just sort of paused and glanced back at him in blank wonderment. “A hurricane? You think of a hurricane? What am I missing?”
在风雨后”还记得当我们在Bob大叔的住？和姑姑贾尼丝造肉饼一晚？我想Bob大叔的坐下来吃饭，看着他的盘子，然后在卫阿姨示意，他说：“扬使绝对最好的肉饼。我不能等你尝尝这个。这是真正的舒适性食物。””
And so, like I started off saying, it’s just one of those rare recipes where everybody has either a fond family memory or knows someone who makes ‘The Best.’
And now we come to today’s meatloaf. Be sure to let me know in the comments if what follows is a contender for ‘The Best.’
For today’s meatloaf, we start off by placing diced bread, chopped celery, carrots, eggs, parsley, tomato paste, grated cheese, peas, olive oil, milk and the seasonings listed below in a large bowl, toss it a few times, and then set it aside to soak for about ten minutes.
After the mixture has soaked, add in the ground beef, and mix it thoroughly by hand. Once that’s done, lightly coat a large cast iron frying pan with olive oil (or a baking dish if you prefer), and set the ground beef mixture in the pan, and form it into a loaf as pictured below. Set it aside.
Once that’s done, coat a second cast iron frying pan with olive oil, and set it over a gentle heat for about three minutes. Then add in sliced onion, crushed chopped garlic, halved cherry tomatoes, a few dashes of salt, black pepper, dried oregano and a pinch of sugar.
Let this mixture sauté in the frying pan, keeping the heat relatively low, and mixing every so often. Continue to sauté until the tomatoes soften and the onions are slightly golden, and then top this over the meatloaf.
Finally, bake the loaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Then let it rest for about fifteen minutes before slicing and serving.
Prep and Pairing Pointers:
The Meat Matters:Just like the cliché that “Everything is better with Butter,” when it comes to meatloaf “The flavor is in the fat.” Generally, you want ground beef that’s somewhere just south of 80% lean. Not only will the fat give it flavor, but it will also help the loaf hold its form better during cooking.
Mixes Don’t Match:While it might be tempting to tear open a meatloaf, burger, or meatball mix for a quick fix of flavor, I sincerely advise against this. First and foremost, you want to learn how tailor the spice quantities to your own, unique palate, as opposed to the “One Load of Salt Fits All” method that tends to be par for the course on mixes. Besides, juggling the spices is the easiest area to be creative with any recipe.
什么伟大的With This Recipe:
1)Mediterranean Cauliflower Rice- 我一直喜欢用肉饼菜花，所以我真的希望给这一个尝试的一面。
2)Potato Leek Soup– A standard side to meatloaf, this hardy soup adds an extra layer of warmth and comfort to the meal.
3)Split Pea Soup- 虽然自身美味的汤，像豌豆汤配对和肉饼是一个不需要进一步的解释。
4)Macaroni and Cheese Italian Style– While we’ve all had the standard yellow mound of pasty cheese over macaroni at some point in our lives, and while that might be the go-to pairing for meatloaf, I really think you should give this less-than-orthodox take on macaroni and cheese a try.
5）赤霞珠。如果你想有一个葡萄酒对你的肉饼，我给你两个建议。
First, our guest-postedSauvignon Guide, which gives a nice rundown on prices, tastes, and varieties.
Second, a nice merlot would also pair excellently. For my personal favorite, check out my review onDecoy Winery’s Sonoma Valley Merlot
