When it comes to being a Brainy Gourmet, its what you have at home and what you
can do with it that counts. And, especially, when it comes to meatloaf. Just don't add the kitchen sink...
Meatloaf can be and is gourmet food. The key is always to let the 'meat' speak for
itself which means DON'T add unnecessary ingredients like: broccoli,
spinach, crackers, oatmeal, ketchup, cheese, eggs or anything else that
does not belong in a good 'meat' loaf.
Choose your ground meat: beef, pork or turkey will work. Mix about 1 and
half pound with dried herbs, bread crumbs and 1/4 cup of heavy cream
along with a pinch of salt and garlic powder. Form into a loaf and lay
into a glass baking dish drizzled with olive oil; also, drizzle some on
top as well as some Worcestershire sauce. Bake for about one hour, first
on 400f and then reduce the heat to 350.
From the juices that will flow as the meatloaf cooks, you can make a
quick sauce... *Note when using 100% beef, you can let it stand at
medium rare. That's bistro style...
