Good Eats Meatloaf
RECIPE COURTESY OF ALTON BROWN
Total: 1 hr 10 min
Prep: 25 min
Cook: 45 min
Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

6 ounces garlic-flavored croutons
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 onion, roughly chopped
1 carrot, peeled and broken
3 whole cloves garlic
1/2 red bell pepper
18 ounces ground chuck
18 ounces ground sirloin
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 egg

For the glaze:
1/2 cup catsup
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Dash Worcestershire sauce
Dash hot pepper sauce
1 tablespoon honey

Directions

Heat oven to 325 degrees F.

In a food processor bowl, combine croutons, black pepper, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and thyme. Pulse until the mixture is of a fine texture. Place this mixture into a large bowl. Combine the onion, carrot, garlic, and red pepper in the food processor bowl. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped, but not pureed. Combine the vegetable mixture, ground sirloin, and ground chuck with the bread crumb mixture. Season the meat mixture with the kosher salt. Add the egg and combine thoroughly, but avoid squeezing the meat.

Pack this mixture into a 10-inch loaf pan to mold the shape of the meatloaf. Onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, turn the meatloaf out of the pan onto the center of the tray. Insert a temperature probe at a 45 degree angle into the top of the meatloaf. Avoid touching the bottom of the tray with the probe. Set the probe for 155 degrees.

Combine the catsup, cumin, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce and honey. Brush the glaze onto the meatloaf after it has been cooking for about 10 minutes.

  1. I sure didn't see any juices after it was cooked. Looked dry .it's probably from using only 1 egg? Hmm. I always use 2 as does Ina Garden..

  2. Jesus Christ, sometimes I'm all in on the Alton Brown rabbit hole, and sometimes he just gets on my nerves beyond explanation.

  3. I use Ritz crackers instead of croutons. How many eggs depends on how much meat: 1.5 lbs = 1 egg, 3 lbs = 2 eggs

  4. You know, i never see cooks in these videos shaking the bottle of Worcestershire sauce. It settles. It says “SHAKE THE BOTTLE” right there on the label. You should really shake it.👍

  5. I've also used the glaze from this recipe on burgers. When you're making the burger just brush the glaze on after the mid-cook flip, it comes out great! 😄

  6. Garlic croutons AND fresh garlic? If you're trying to kill your guests you're well on your way. And…the egg is completely redundant if you're using beef that has the proper fat content. For all you out there…if you don't want to grind your meat like that, get MEDUIM ground beef and skip the egg.
