Classic American Meatloaf with Manhattan Select Blend

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 is your friend)
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup ketchup (plus extra for glazing)
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp Manhattan Select Blend
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• Olive oil for sautéing

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment or lightly grease it.
2. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil and sauté onion until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Toss in garlic, cook 1 minute. Let cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, mix breadcrumbs and milk; let it soak for 3 minutes. Add eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire, Manhattan Select Blend, pepper, and parsley. Mix well.
4. Add ground beef and sautéed onion-garlic mixture. Gently combine using your hands — don’t overmix, or the meatloaf’s gonna get tough. Confidence is the best ingredient.
5. Press mixture evenly into the loaf pan. Smooth the top, then slather with extra ketchup.
6. Bake for 55–65 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer hits 160°F in the center. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Crispy, not soggy — you got me?
7. Slice and serve with mashed potatoes or your favorite sides. DUNZO!
