Things You'll Need:
- 1 lb ground chuck or ground round
- 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/4 tsp fennel seed
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic - minced
- 3 tbsp. butter
- loaf pan
- cooking spray
- crusty french bread
- your favorite mustard
-
Step 1
Spray loaf pan with cooking spray, and set your oven for 350 degrees. Saute the onion and garlic in melted butter until soft. This usually takes about 3 minutes.
-
Step 2
Put your beef into a large bowl, and break it up just a little.
-
Step 3
Add your bread crumbs, milk, egg, and the herbs and spices on the ingredients list down to the fennel seed. Top that off with the sauteed onion and garlic and stir gently, incorporating the ingredients loosely throughout. Try not to over mix, or your meatloaf will turn out more like a pate!
-
Step 4
Shape the mixture into a loaf and put into the loaf pan. Bake in the oven for 1 hour.
-
Step 5
Cool the meatloaf when it's done. Then remove it from the loaf pan, and wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour. Serve this COLD with your favorite mustard on crusty french bread (or your favorite white bread).
