Parmesan Meatloaf
Parmesan meatloaf features a special nutty flavor by using parmesan cheese in almost every way possible to create a twist on a classic dish.
Ingredients
- 2 pound 85/15 ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
- 1 cup parmesan breadcrumbs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoon grated parmesan
Instructions
- To start, you'll need to sauté the onion and the garlic in a pan first. Cook them until they are browning and fragrant. Allow them to cool as you prep the rest of the recipe.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the breadcrumbs, shredded parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, egg and buttermilk. Mix to the point where everything is just combined, then add in the cooked onion and garlic. Cover the mix and allow to sit for 15-20 minutes to bring everything together. If you can sit it in the fridge for an hour or two that would be even better for the flavors.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉
- You can use a 9 inch loaf pan or you can shape the meatloaf by hand as I did in the photos then place on a sheet pan. Cover with the top with marinara sauce. Then, place in the oven for 60 minutes.
- At that point, check for doneness by your personal preference but I find the meatloaf to be best at medium-well. Add more time if needed.
- When the parmesan meatloaf is ready, remove it from the oven. Allow to rest for 20 minutes then top with grated parmesan cheese, slice then serve.
