Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp Herbs de Provence
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, Herbs de Provence, salt, pepper, ketchup, and Dijon mustard. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Hands work the best. Combine the ingredients but do not overmix.
- Shape the Meatloaf:
- Shape the meatloaf into a rectangle. Place the loaf on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or spray with cooking spray.
- Bake to Perfection:
- Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C) using an instant-read meat thermometer. The top of the meatloaf should be browned, and the loaves should be firm.
- Let it Rest:
- Allow the meatloaf to rest for about 10 minutes on a platter before slicing. (Don't meatloaf sit in the grease on the pan because it will be absorbed) This helps retain the juices and ensures a moist texture.
Notes
-I always double the recipe and make 2 meatloaves. One to eat and one for the freezer.
-A Frozen meatloaf can be cooked directly from frozen on a large pan. The cooking time will be longer but follow the steps above.
