Ina Garten's Meatloaf (Easy Recipe)

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet. Reduce to medium-low heat and stir in the onions, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally until the onions are translucent, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

Remove it from the heat and stir in the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste. Set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large bowl, lightly mix together the ground chuck, onion mixture, bread crumbs, and eggs with a fork. Do not over-mix or the meatloaf will be tough and dry.

Step 5

Form the mixture into a loaf on the lined sheet pan. Slather the ketchup evenly on top.

Step 6

Bake it for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the internal temperature is 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Serve hot and enjoy!
