Introduction
A classic, comforting meatloaf recipe made with ground sirloin, finely chopped vegetables, and a savory glaze sweetened with a touch of balsamic vinegar. It is incredibly juicy, tender, and pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes.
Step 1
Finely chop 1 small white onion and 1/2 orange bell pepper, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Mince 2 cloves of garlic and finely chop 2 tsp of fresh thyme and 2 tbsp of fresh parsley. Add them to the bowl with the chopped onions and bell pepper.
Step 3
Add 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce, 2 tsp of Dijon mustard, and 2 tbsp of ketchup to the bowl. Stir everything together to combine the aromatics and seasonings.
Step 4
Add 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, and 3/4 cup of seasoned bread crumbs to the mixture. Whisk to combine and let the bread crumbs soak up the moisture briefly.
Step 5
Add 2 lbs of ground sirloin to the bowl and season the top generously with salt and black pepper.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Finely chopping the vegetables ensures they cook through and blend seamlessly into the meatloaf without leaving large, crunchy chunks.
Using ground sirloin or ground round prevents the meatloaf from shrinking too much during baking because of its lower fat content.
Allow the bread crumbs a moment to absorb the liquids in the bowl before adding the meat to ensure even moisture distribution.
Avoid overworking the meat when mixing to keep the texture tender instead of dense and tough.
Always let the meatloaf rest before slicing so the juices settle, helping the slices hold together perfectly.
