3 lbs unseasoned ground beef burnt to a crisp, slathered in 12 oz of Heinz ketchup

Meatloaf is garbage. There is no such thing as a good meatloaf. Just make meatballs and a nice tomato sauce.

>Post your best meatloaf recipe ever
Onion, 400g
Tallow, 20g
Salt, as needed
Wine, preferably white, as needed
Beef mince, 80% lean, 1kg
Cornflour, 50g+ (could need more)

Dried mushrooms, to make 500ml stock
>or equivalent mushroom stock cube
Water, 500ml
Flour, 50g
Tallow, 30g
Mushrooms, 400g

Chop then wine-caramelise onions.
Once cooled, mix onions with with and cornflour, adding more as necessary to hold it together.
On a baking tray, form loaf.
Roast at 180 until done, about 1 hour; meanwhile, make mushroom stock and medium-dark/dark roux.
Compound roux with sliced mushrooms and off the heat.
When roux stops hissing, re-up the heat and whisk in stock to make gravy.
Serve with mash, a green and a second side vegetable. Sauteed beetroot is nice as is butter-braised carrot.

Even though cocktail sauce is basically just horseradish and ketchup, both of which are perfectly fine with beef, I can't have cocktail sauce with anything but seafood for some reason.

Just putting in more vegetables improves most meatloaf recipes immensely.

The best meatloaf recipe is actually making patties instead of a loaf, pan frying them, then making a nice sauce with some diced onions, beef stock and cornstarch.

>>19426086
What part? Those are all pretty standard things to have (or make, in the case of roux)

>>19426289
isn't that just salisbury steak, or some variant of it?

I'm not shilling this guy's site.
But I guess I am.
His meatloaf recipe is great and I've been using it for the last ten years.
The only addition I make is sometimes I'll dice up a datil or two.

2/3rd 80/20 ground beef
1/3rd spicy Italian sausage
egg
splash of milk
splash of Worcestershire sauce
Italian seasoned bread crumbs
onion, bell pepper and fresh garlic minced and sauteed
dried spices, smoked paprika, thyme, oregano, cumin, garlic and onion powder

mix it all together and make two meat logs and wrap with bacon with seam on the bottom (make sure not to overlap the bacon otherwise it won't cook and will be chewy)
cook low and slow then the last 15min glaze with BBQ sauce the let it caramelize

I've never used them, or heard of anyone using them in meatloaf.
I do _have_ everything except the tallow. Obviously roux is a standard base for gravy, but I've always used a mix for beef gravy, though I do make chicken gravy from scratch.

cut into bacon width slices and eat it as a sandwich on a shitty freezer section flaky biscuit in a poorly lit linoleum floored kitchen along with some depressing coleslaw and deviled eggs

>>19426447
Yeah, the ratios there are pretty good.
Most classic meatloafs are just hamburger logs with occasional pieces of bell pepper or onion.
It can taste fine, but is boring. Up the ratio and suddenly you have something with a lot more complexity and flavor and even a better texture.

Fuck _that_ bread, but meatloaf sammies are brety gud.
