Description

This meatloaf has all of the fantastic flavors of Swedish meatballs without the fuss and work of making meatballs. It’s juicy and delicious, especially when served with the gravy.

Ingredients

• Meatloaf:
• 1/2 yellow onion, peeled and minced
• 2 lb. ground beef
• 1 lb. ground pork (or other ground meat as desired)
• 2 eggs
• 1 c. dried bread crumbs
• 1 c. mashed potatoes
• 2 t. salt
• 1-2 t. white pepper
• 2 t. allspice
• 2 T. butter, softened
• Gravy:
• 2 T. unsalted butter
• 2 T. all-purpose flour
• 2 c. beef stock or broth
• 1 t. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 t. soy sauce
• 1/2 t. salt, or to taste
• 1/4-1/2 t. white pepper
• 1/4 t. freshly ground nutmeg, or to taste
• 1/2 c. sour cream
• 1/3 c. minced fresh parsley

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Add all meatloaf ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer that has been fitted with the paddle attachment, or a large bowl, if doing by hand. Break the meat apart while adding it to the bowl. Don't overmix because over mixing can result in a tough meatloaf. Blend the mixture just until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Line a rimmed baking sheet with heavy duty foil; form the meat mixture into an oval loaf, about 6 ×10 x 3 inches. It should be more or less evenly thick and wide so that it cooks at the same rate throughout.
