How to Make Easy Homemade Meatloaf
Very easy and simple baked meatloaf. So let’s go and see how to bake homemade meatloaf. Follow my instructions to bake easy meatloaf.
First, preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a loaf pan with parchment paper.
Take a medium frying pan and add 1 teaspoon of oil. Wait until hot. Add minced onion and press for a while, then add garlic. When garlic and onion are soft, add carrot. When all ingredients are soft, remove the pan and set aside to cool.
Take a large bowl and add ground lean beef, salt and black pepper, cooked vegetables, breadcrumbs, tomato sauce, minced parsley, beef powder, eggs, and some milk. Mix well by hand. Be careful not to over-mix.
When the beef mixture is ready, add it to the loaf pan, press down, and shape the meat.
Take a medium bowl and prepare the glaze. Add tomato sauce, salt and black pepper, and vinegar. Mix all ingredients well to make the glaze. Brush the glaze on the shaped meatloaf.
After brushing the glaze, bake for 50 to 60 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove from oven and brush with more of the remaining glaze (about half).
When done, check the meatloaf temperature. It should be 160°F on an instant-read thermometer.
When it’s ready, let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Finally, slice the meatloaf and serve with mashed potatoes, baked beans, baked broccoli, or baked potatoes—or any food of your choice.
Tips and Tricks for Meatloaf
I use some vegetables fried for softness, but if you want, you can use fresh vegetables without frying.
Do not over mix. Over mixed meat tastes bad, and the result is no softness in the meatloaf.
I think cooking the vegetables or onion is better.
Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the baked meatloaf. Temperature checking is the best point for perfect meatloaf.
Wait 10 minutes before cutting the meatloaf after baking.
You can use a baking sheet for a crispier meatloaf. Use aluminium foil and a ceramic or meatloaf tray.
Use ground lean beef with 80% lean and 20% fat. That is good for health.
You can use homemade glaze or BBQ sauce. I think using glaze makes meatloaf very tasty and flavourful.
Store the meatloaf properly. After baking, let it cool fully. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days or freeze for 3 months. Reheat before eating.
