How to Make Best Ever Italian Style Meatloaf
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, gently combine all ingredients until just mixed. Do not overmix.
- Press the meatloaf mixture into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 50 minutes, then carefully remove the foil.
- Pour off any excess grease that has accumulated in the pan.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Let the meatloaf rest in the pan for 10-20 minutes before slicing. This allows it to firm up and prevents it from falling apart.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
