RECIPE BY: CHEF CLARKE
Ingredients
For the Meatloaf
2 lbs ground beef (80/20 works best)
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian)
½ cup whole milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp dried thyme (or Italian seasoning)
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
For the Glaze
½ cup ketchup
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
Step 1: Mix the Meatloaf
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs and milk. Let sit for 5 minutes to soften.
Add ground beef, onion, garlic, eggs, Worcestershire, ketchup, thyme, salt, pepper, and parsley.
Mix gently with your hands or a spoon — just until combined. (Overmixing can make the meatloaf dense.)
Grandeur Tip: Use your Grandeur range’s prep space for easy mixing and clean-up. The wide cooktop gives you plenty of room to work with large bowls and pans.
Step 2: Shape the Loaf
Transfer the mixture to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a lightly greased loaf pan.
Shape into a loaf about 9x5 inches if free-forming.
Step 3: Add the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and mustard. Spread half of it evenly over the meatloaf before baking. Reserve the rest for basting.
Step 4: Bake
Bake the meatloaf for 45 minutes.
Remove from the oven, brush with the remaining glaze, and return to bake another 15–20 minutes.
Meatloaf is done when the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Grandeur Tip: Grandeur ovens maintain consistent temperature throughout, ensuring the loaf cooks evenly from edge to center.
Step 5: Rest & Serve
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad for the ultimate comfort meal.
