hi everyone we are back on cooking with kimberly i i am making meatloaf today and
i thought i would show you guys how i make it so these are my ingredients that are laid out here
i also have all my measuring things i'm just going to see you guys through a little bit of
what all of this is and then we'll get started so first you're going to need a big bowl you'll
notice that i have ground beef in here already that's been thawing all day pro tip make sure
that you don't have frozen ground beef for this recipe um yeah so i have my frozen my frozen beef
or my thawed beef at this point so my beef i have milk i have onions and i have bread crumbs as well
as one egg so that's your that's your first step there for your second step you're gonna
need salt and pepper your third step you're gonna need ketchup mustard and brown sugar
i know if we thought brown sugar was in meatloaf so you've got brown sugar here and then you
will need at some point a lightly greased pan it doesn't matter necessarily what size this is the
one that i prefer to use just because i like the the way that it comes out here um what the recipe
that i'm following suggest is a nine by five inch baking pan i just tend to use that one so the
recipe that i'm following today calls for one and a half pounds of ground beef i've actually found
that it's better through trial and error i found that it's better with two pounds of ground beef
so i have two pounds of ground beef in here what you are going to need is one cup of milk so once
i've added my one cup of milk this recipe also calls for one onion now it says one onion it
doesn't give you actual measurements what i found through trial and error is that a third of a cup
or even a half of a cup of onions works really well so that's why i have these here so i have
my third of a cup of onions um you can see that they're not necessarily uh they're not super small
diced pieces you can have sliced you can have chopped you can have dice whatever it's up to you
um just be aware that whatever yours your sizes are it's going to stay that way in your meatloaf
so depending on how big you like your onion slices and how pungent you like that flavor
you may want to chop them smaller it's up to you once you've done your onion you're going to
throw your egg in there perfect once you've done your egg you're going to have bread crumbs and
it's going to be a full cup of bread crumbs in my in goes my cup of bread crumbs and once you
have those four ingredients together your what you're going to do is mash it up so that it's all
uh nice and joined together uh you are going to want a fairly large bowl for this because this is
the bowl in which you're making your meatloaf so that entire process takes about five minutes or so
you want to make sure that it's really well blended once you have done that and you've
combined those ingredients you're going to season with salt and pepper now the recipe calls for
seasoning with salt and peppers to taste we don't like to have too much salt or pepper
in our meals however this is himalayan salt so it's a little bit healthier than your regular salt
and this is your black pepper grounds so i just usually do a few sprinkles of this
and you are good to go once you've combined your salt and pepper for your final seasonings
you want to just give it a little bit of a mix to make sure that everything works itself through
then you're going to set that bowl aside because that is your actual meat loaf
combination so to speak and you're going to worry about making your glaze meatloaf has a glaze on
it and i was really surprised when i learned this this is actually mustard ketchup and brown sugar
now it's really really key that you follow the exact instructions for the recipe and i'll link
that in the description down below but if you don't it can actually turn out pretty nasty
um not speaking from experience but i have heard horror stories so what you're going to want to do
you'll have another small bowl on hand and this is where you're going to be using your tablespoon
measurement and your third cup measurement so for ketchup you want about one third and drop it in
what you want is mustard and brown sugar as well now your brown sugar you're gonna need two
tablespoons and your mustard you will also need two tablespoons so coming from someone who does
not want to use more than two or three utensils at a time i suggest you do the brown sugar first then
you've got your your tablespoons with brown sugar and then you can do the mustard so that nothing
sticks to each other all right so once you have everything combined what you can do is mix it up
and you're going to want to make sure that this mixes really well you can mix it with anything
really if you mix it with the original tablespoon or you choose another metal spoon that's fine but
the idea is to make sure that it's mixed so it's all one liquid rather than all easily separated
once you've got that done it's going to look something like this it looks far more appetizing
on the meatloaf i promise what you want to do at this point is make sure that you have your pan
that you're going to be using and you are simply going to scoop your meat into your into your pan
here and then dribble your glaze on top so this is what it should look like as the semi-finished
product as you can see that didn't take me very long it's literally just ground beef and
some spices and some onions and some milk and what you're going to want to do with this is throw this
into your oven for us we're using a wood burning stove so it may take a little bit longer most most
meatloafs will take about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes i found that if i keep our wood
running stove at about 400 degrees 350 to 400 it cooks within that time so what you want to
make sure that you do after you dump your meat into your pan is make sure that you spread the
glaze on it and you spread it around you don't just want to dump it in one spot
as you can see i have i have it spread all over the meatloaf so that it's going to soak in
and actually flavor the entire thing and here we are as you can see it's it's very hot it just come
out of the oven it will have some juices coming off of the meat just because you've had it in the
oven and it's just been cooking so as i said i put this in for about an hour and a half the recipe
which i'm linking in the description down below it only takes about an hour but that's if you have an
electric soap if you have a wood burning stove take into account that it might take a little
bit longer this is super easy to make it's super delicious this is uh this is the third or fourth
time that i've made it and i find that it's really really good and like i said it's super quick it's
something that you can throw in the oven and it's and it's healthy too it's ground beef and onions
and milk and everything like that so thanks for watching guys and we'll see in the next
