Meatloaf (The best you'll ever have)

My Mom made the best meatloaf and we probably had it every week.  But getting older and trying to eat better, people have tended to grow away from meatloaf and the hearty pot roasts.  Well I am bringing the meatloaf back and giving it everything it deserves to be eating well.  I have some exciting ingredients in the loaf that you will probably shack your head about, but trust me it is good.  Here you go and as always.

Enjoy.

Ingredients

2 LBS Ground Chuck (From local Butcher)
4 Slices of Prosciutto (From local Butcher)
1/4 Cup Worcestershire Sauce
1 Egg
5 Cloves Garlic (Minced)
1 Whole Shallot (Diced)
1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Parsley
1 Avocado (Diced Up)
2 Slices of Corn Bread
1 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Black Pepper
1 Tsp Granulated Garlic
1 Cup Parmesan Cheese
1 Cup Heather BBQ Sauce (Recipe in Blog)


What To Do First
  • First thing we do is turn your oven on to 375 degrees
  • Now get a small saute pan and turn it on medium high heat
  • Add a tablespoon of butter and allow this to melt
  • Add your shallots and caramelize for 5 minutes
  • Add your garlic and lower heat to low and cook for another 2 minutes

  • Grab a medium bowl and add your meat
  • Dice up your prosciutto and place that in the bowl 
  • Dice up your parsley and add that to the meat as well

  • Now add the rest of your ingredients except for the BBQ sauce
  • Mix all your ingredients well together and place it in a shallow pan
  • Form it into a loaf

  • Once it has formed into a loaf 
  • Add your BBQ sauce, make sure it covers the whole loaf
  • Place it in the oven for 25-30 minutes
  • When it is cooked plate it with whatever you would like as a side
  • I made garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli and cauliflower
The finished product, you may pour more of the BBQ sauce over the loaf if you would like.  The avocado keeps it moist and gives it such a smooth taste and texture.  I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.  Have a wonderful day and be safe.

Enjoy
