Tag Archives: lean ground beef

Ingredients

• 3 pounds 90% lean ground beef or more lean
• 2 medium yellow onions, peeled and chopped
• 4 large cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 large eggs
• 2 1/2 cups hot milk
• 4 cups dried white bread cubes (dry overnight 6-8 slices bread)

Directions

1. Slice bread into small cubes and set aside
2. Sauté onion in butter and oil until tender but not browned. Add garlic and sauté 1/2 minute. Set aside
3. In a large bowl place beef and add onion mixture, salt, pepper and eggs.
4. Heat milk in a medium saucepan. Add bread cubes. Mix with a whisk until it becomes a paste. Add to the beef mix.
5. Use your clean hands to mix the meatloaf together
6. Divide mixture into 4 loaves on 2 shallow baking pans covered in parchment paper. Rinse hands in cold water to help pat each loaf into shape. This helps with the stickiness.
7. Drizzle ketchup over loaves making a pattern.
8. Bake at 350 degrees F about 45 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
9. This is my mom’s recipe which I’ve adapted. She would add a squirt of mustard and ketchup to the mixture. But I place ketchup on the top of the loaves and serve it also at the table to dip each bite into!
10. Voila! Enjoy and let me know what happens!
