This is a basic easy meatloaf recipe, delicious, and one of the best meatloaf recipes you will find.


You'll want leftovers. They are great sliced into a sandwich. Don't you just love two for one deals?



Lean ground beef is a wonderful protein food and turns this into a pretty healthy recipe. If you really want to create a low fat meat loaf, use a double loaf pan, such as the one shown below. It drains the fat off the meat loaf as it cooks and keeps it away from the meat.


Anolon 2-pc. Nonstick SureGrip Meat Loaf Pan Set This wonderful double meat loaf pan really helps cut the fat. Put the loaf into the inside pan, place it in the outer pan to cook, and the drain holes inside allow the fat to drain off and stay away from the meat. Great healthy cooking idea!
Anolon 2-pc. Nonstick SureGrip Meat Loaf Pan Set


1/2 cup bread crumbs or small bread cubes(fresh bread crumbs or cubes are ideal but use dried if that is what you have)
1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 pound ground veal
1 small onion, chopped finely
1 carrot, finely shredded
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Preheat oven to 350°.

Soften the bread crumbs in the milk for a few minutes, then pour off the excess milk.

Combine the 3 meats and mix well. Add all other ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined.

Place in large loaf pan, 2 smaller loaf pans or shape into loaf shape and bake on flat baking pan.

Bake 1 hour or until browned and fully cooked inside.

Cooking Tips
Variations:


  • You can use all beef, but the pork and veal combination with the beef add extra flavour and tenderness. All are great protein foods.
  • Top with 1/2 cup tomato sauce or ketchup for added flavor. Or kick it up a bit with some salsa.
