The meatloaf is a dish that has been around for decades. However, it’s not just any dish. The meatloaf is one of the most comforting and satisfying dishes and in this post, we’ll show you how to make the best meatloaf ever. We’ve got the ingredients and instructions you need to take home a truly delicious meal.
A little patience and technique will go a long way when making your next meatloaf recipe! Here’s what you need:
1/2 cup milk
1 cup crushed saltine cracker crumbs
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1 tablespoon dried basil
2 eggs, beaten
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef (or other mixed meats).
What you need to make meatloaf
There are very few ingredients needed to make the perfect meatloaf. You'll need some ground beef (or different meats if you want), saltine crackers, eggs, milk, onion, basil, and butter.
You can use your hands to mix all of these together in a large bowl. Just be sure that you're using your hands to mix it well so that the crackers get coated with the egg and milk mixture.
When the meatloaf is assembled in the pan, brush some melted butter on top to give it some extra flavor!
How to make the perfect meatloaf
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
Mix together milk, cracker crumbs, onion, basil, and eggs in a bowl. Add meat and mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Pour mixture into loaf pan and bake for 1 hour or until cooked through (if using raw meat), basting every 15 minutes with butter for the last 15 minutes of cooking time.
Let cool 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
The perfect balance of spices
Mix the milk, saltine cracker crumbs, minced onion, and basil in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and butter until well combined.
In a third larger bowl, mix together the ground beef and egg mixture. Gently fold in the milk mixture until just combined.
In a 9x5-inch loaf pan with 3/4-inch sides, mold meatloaf by patting firmly with wet hands to form an even shape with a flat top.
Heat oven to 350 degrees
Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until cooked through (a meat thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees). Wrap tightly with foil to keep warm while serving or let cool before slicing.
How to cook it
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spread the cracker crumbs in a shallow dish and add milk, onion, and basil. Mix well and allow the mixture to stand while you mix together the meat and eggs in a large bowl. Add the milk/cracker mixture along with melted butter and beat until smooth.
In a large baking dish, pour beef mixture and shape into a loaf, compacting it tightly so it will not shrink during cooking time. Bake for 1 hour or until done. Cut into slices to serve.
