Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Farmhouse Infused Olive Oil Blend
• 1 medium yellow onion finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

Equipment

• 1 Skillet For softening the onion and garlic
• 1 Mixing bowl Large bowl for combining the meatloaf
• 1 loaf pan or rimmed baking sheet Shapes and bakes the meatloaf
• 1 Instant-read thermometer Checks doneness
• 1 Small bowl Mixes the glaze

Method

 

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2. Warm the Farmhouse Infused Olive Oil Blend in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then remove from the heat.
3. 3. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, eggs, milk, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and the cooked onion mixture. Mix gently until just combined.
4. 4. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared pan or on the baking sheet.
5. 5. In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, and red wine vinegar. Spread half of the glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
6. 6. Bake for 45 minutes, then spread on the remaining glaze and bake 15 to 20 minutes more, until the center reaches 160°F.
7. 7. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Notes

For the best texture, mix the ingredients just until they come together. The Farmhouse Infused Olive Oil Blend adds savory depth to the aromatics and helps the loaf taste rich and homey. If using a very lean beef, the loaf may need a little extra care to stay moist.

Recipe Tips

Mix the meatloaf just until combined so it stays tender, and let it rest before slicing so the juices settle back in.

If you want a more caramelized top, spread the glaze over the meatloaf during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with mashed potatoes, buttered green beans, roasted carrots, or a simple salad for a comforting dinner spread.

Leftovers also make excellent sandwiches the next day on toasted bread with a little extra sauce.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

For longer storage, wrap individual slices tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.

Variations

Swap in half ground pork for a richer texture, or fold in chopped parsley for a brighter finish.

You can also spoon a little extra Farmhouse Infused Olive Oil Blend over the loaf before baking for a deeper herb-forward flavor.
