Are you tired of the same old recipes for meatloaf? Do you want to impress your family and friends with a mouthwatering dish that will leave them craving for more? Look no further! In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of preparing an excellent polpettone, a traditional Italian meatloaf packed with flavor. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients you’ll need

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Step-by-step instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get ready to embark on a delicious journey!

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork. Mix them together until well combined.

3. Add in the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, milk, ketchup, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to gently mix everything together. It might get a little messy, but that’s part of the fun!

4. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a greased loaf pan. Make sure the meatloaf is compacted together to avoid it falling apart when cooked.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Inserting a meat thermometer into the center of the meatloaf is the best way to ensure it’s fully cooked.

6. Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moist and tender polpettone.

7. Slice the meatloaf into thick slices and serve it with your favorite side dishes. Mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables make the perfect accompaniment to this delectable dish!

Tips for success

  • For added flavor, you can stuff the meatloaf with cheese, cooked spinach, or even boiled eggs.
  • Experiment with different seasonings and herbs to personalize the taste of your polpettone.
  • Consider using a combination of ground meats, like beef, pork, and veal, for a more complex flavor profile.
  • Leftover meatloaf makes fantastic sandwiches the following day. Simply layer slices between bread or rolls and add your favorite condiments.

Now that you have the complete guide to making a delicious meatloaf, it’s time to gather your ingredients and start cooking! Your family and taste buds will thank you for it. Enjoy!
