Dawns Meatloaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan. Add the onions, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not brown. Off the heat, add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste. Allow to cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, onion mixture, bread crumbs, and eggs, and mix lightly with a fork. Don't mash or the meat loaf will be dense. Shape the mixture into a rectangular loaf on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F and the meat loaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven, under the meat loaf, will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot.

Steps:

• 1. Mix all ingredients thoroughly by hand.
• 2. Dump into ungreased loaf pan & spread it level.
• 3. If you want ketch-up or tomato sauce or whatever on top, now is when you add it. We don't care for it, so, we don't put it on.
• 4. Bake in 350º oven for 1 1/2 hours.
• 5. Remove from loaf pan to drain the grease off. We use a spatula on each end. It is firm enough to hold up without breaking in the middle.
