WHAT MAKES A GOOD MEATLOIE RECIPE
A chaveFor a flavorful meatloaf, use 80% fat ground beef. Very lean ground beef is not as flavorful. 80% of ground beef has more fat and that means more flavor. Instead of soaking bread in milk, opt for a meat or chicken base. Beef or chicken broth will also work, but the bases have more flavor.It is much tastier than milk.🇧🇷 Most liquids will help the meatloaf stay moist, so I like to use savory meat stock as much as possible. To add even more flavor, one reader said she used ¾ teaspoons each of onion and garlic powder. I recently tried. It's delicious!
WHAT CAN I REPLACE MILK IN MEAT PIE
As I mentioned beforeYou can replace milk with almost any liquid. Chicken, beef, or vegetable broth works great. You can also add water if you like, but of course it doesn't add any extra flavor.
MEAT SAUCE
The meatloaf sauce is like the icing on the cake.For the meatloaf sauce, you will need ketchup, brown sugar, and pepper. I love making a brown sugar and pepper topping.I know it may seem like a lot of pepper by the recipe, but it is very fragrant and tasty. The pepper livens up the sauce!People who made that meatloaf, suggested adding chili sauce or chipotle seasoning to the sauce. If you don't want to use meatloaf sauce, try wrapping it in bacon as well. Got a tip from a reader too.
WHY COMPLETE MY MEAT BALLS?
there are some reasonswhy does a meatloaf fall apart🇧🇷 You may not have added enough eggs or vegetables. Yes, the veggies will help hold the meatloaf together. Second, you may have used leaner meat. Like I said, use 80% fat ground beef.Loshigher fat contentThis helps the meat stay moist and the moist meatloaf keeps it from falling apart. It's not impossible to make a lean meatloaf, but it's tricky.Third, don't add too much liquid.🇧🇷 It will definitely make your meatloaf fall apart. Lastly, let the cooked meatloaf rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing. If you cut it right away, the meat can fall apart.
