2. Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Pour in beer and increase heat to high. Bring to a vigorous boil; cook until the liquid is quite syrupy and the mixture reduces to about 3/4 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in thyme, dry mustard, salt and pepper. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  3. Add beef, turkey, breadcrumbs, parsley, beaten egg and egg white to the onion mixture. Mix thoroughly with clean hands and transfer to the prepared pan.
  4. Bake the meatloaf until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F when inserted into the center, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes; drain accumulated liquid from the pan and slice. Serve hot or cold or in a sandwich.

Yield: 8 servings

3. Still Hungry?

In revisiting this classic, we put the meat back in the loaf by using ultra lean ground beef and turkey. With fresh whole wheat breadcrumbs and beer simmered sweet onions, you will never notice the missing fat.

Notes:

Tip

To make fresh breadcrumbs, trim crusts from firm sandwich bread. Tear bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. One slice of bread makes about 1/3 cup crumbs.

  • a house favorite

    This is the only meatloaf I have ever liked. I also add some garlic powder (1 tsp) and dried basil (2 tsp) for an extra kick.

  • A bit more of a healthy twist

    Terrance A - March 25, 2009 11:53:22 AM PST
    I use lean ground turkey (no beef at all). The key twist to my recipe is that I buy fresh spinach and put it in a food processor and add that, along with fresh garlic. I find it almost blasphemous if you don\\\'t add garlic. LOL!!!
