Preparing a free-form meat loaf and cooking it on a broiler pan cuts cook time, compared to standard recipes. Smashed red-skinned potatoes and simple steamed broccoli spears round out this quick meal. Ingredients:
1/3 cup chopped green onions |
3 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs |
2 teaspoons minced garlic |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
1 pound ground sirloin |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
6 tablespoons ketchup, divided |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Combine first 9 ingredients in a large bowl; add 1/4 cup ketchup. Mix beef mixture with hands just until combined. Shape beef mixture into a 9 x 4–inch loaf on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes. Brush top of meat loaf with remaining 2 tablespoons ketchup. Bake 7 additional minutes or until done. Slice loaf into 8 equal pieces.
3. Wine note: A value-priced cabernet or merlot, like Crane Lake Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 ($4), tends to be straightforward, lighter-bodied, and lower in tannins, ideal with the lean ground beef in this traditional baked meat loaf. -Jeffery Lindenmuth
