How to Make Awesome Meatloaf Emeril's
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 stalks celery (chopped), and 1 green bell pepper (chopped). Cook until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Transfer the vegetable mixture to a large mixing bowl and let cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Add 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 cup heavy cream to the bowl with the vegetables. Mix well.
- Add 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, 2 pounds ground meat (a mix of beef and pork is recommended), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Gently mix with your hands just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the meatloaf mixture to a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup ketchup and 1/4 cup brown sugar.
- Poke holes into the meatloaf using a fork and drizzle the ketchup mixture over it.
- Cut 4 slices of bacon in half lengthwise and arrange the bacon strips over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the sauce is slightly caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve with your favorite sides, such as scalloped potatoes.
