Ingredients for Behold The Amazing Skillet Meatloaf

  • Eggs
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • Yellow Mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Cracked Black Pepper
  • Rolled Oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • Green Bell Peppers
  • Lean Ground Beef

How to Make Behold The Amazing Skillet Meatloaf

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined; don't overmix.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal) over medium-high heat.
  3. Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf and place it in the hot skillet.
  4. Sear the meatloaf on all sides until nicely browned, about 5-7 minutes total.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for another 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
