Gordon Ramsay’s Meatloaf recipe, serving 6, takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes to cook. It includes ground beef, egg, onion, milk, bread crumbs, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and seasonings for a flavorful dish.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Fill a large bowl with ground beef, onion, milk, bread crumbs, and egg; season with salt and pepper. Combine all of the ingredients and shape into meatloaf. Place in the loaf pan that has been prepared.
A small bowl should be used to thoroughly combine ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Once the mixture is thoroughly combined, pour it over the meatloaf and spread it out evenly over the surface.
Bake in an oven that has been prepared until the middle is no longer pink, which should take about an hour.
Notes
Quality of Beef: Use lean ground beef for a less greasy meatloaf. If you prefer a juicier meatloaf, choose a slightly higher fat content.
Mixing: Mix the ingredients gently. Overmixing can lead to a dense meatloaf. Just combine until everything is evenly distributed.
Onions: Finely chop the onions to ensure they cook evenly and meld into the meatloaf without large chunks.
Bread Crumbs: For a lighter texture, use fresh bread crumbs. You can also experiment with seasoned or panko breadcrumbs for a different flavor.
Testing for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check if the meatloaf is done. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
