Here is the next in the series of Sunday Dinners. This is one from my childhood that I wasn't particular fond of, although I don't recall why.
This is largely based off of a Cooks Illustrated recipe.
Software:
For the sauce:
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 tsp apple cider vinegar
For the meatloaf:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 medium onion small dice
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp table salt
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 2 tsp worcestershire
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- about 2/3 cup quick cooking oatmeal blitzed in the food processor til a coarse powder - you can use the equivalent of crackers or other bread crumbs
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
1. Prep the sauce by combining the three ingredients
2. Saute the onions and garlic for a few mins until softened, set aside to cool slightly
3. Beat the eggs and combine with the thyme, salt, pepper, mustard, worcestershire, yogurt
4. Combine the egg mixture with the onion mixture, crumbs, parsley, meats
5. Form the combined mixture into a loaf on a rimmed baking sheet
6. Spread about 1/4 of the glaze on the tops and sides of the loaf
7. Cook in 350 degree preheated oven for about 45 mins until glaze is set
8. Baste the loaf with another 1/4 of the glaze and place back in for 15 mins or until the internal temp is 160
9. Let the meet rest for about 20 mins
10. In the meantime reduce the sauce over medium low heat until reduced and thickened
Yum!
