- Minced garlic - Finely chopped onion - Three cloves of garlic
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme - 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh oregano - 2 teaspoons of salt - 1 teaspoon of black pepper
Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons
Half a cup of milk
Two tablespoons of ketchup in addition to half a cup
What to do
1. Set your oven temperature to 375°F; that's when you'll get the most crispy edges.
2. Gently incorporate the ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, egg yolks, garlic, parsley, thyme, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and a cup of Parmesan cheese in a large mixing basin. Your herbs and meat will feel like guests at a small celebration!
3. After the ingredients are combined, form the mixture into a loaf and transfer it to a greased baking pan. Alternatively, you may shape it straight onto a baking sheet for a more uniformly hard crust.
Fourth, dot the top with the two tablespoons of ketchup; it will act as a savory frosting.
5. Top the meatloaf with a big handful of Parmesan cheese and serve.
6. Preheat the oven to 160°F and bake the meatloaf for approximately an hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Be patient, my friends; a tasty, golden crust is waiting for you!
Step7: Ten minutes before slicing, allow the meatloaf to rest. It will be considerably simpler to cut when it has firmed up, which takes some time.
Tips and Variations
Feeling daring? If you're looking for a lighter version, try using ground turkey instead of beef. Just replace the bread crumbs with your preferred gluten-free alternative for a gluten-free variation. To raise the vegetable content even further (and keep it a secret), you may add half a cup of shredded zucchini or carrot.
If you're like most people whose weeknights are hectic, you can whip up the ingredients the night before and bake it as soon as you get home. Supper is finished. In terms of preparation, meatloaf freezes very well. Bake half of the recipe and store the rest in the freezer for a night when you don't want to cook.Curl up with this Herb-Crusted Parmesan Meatloaf and indulge in the strong tastes that will transport you to a simpler time while satisfying your taste senses.
