Description

This Meat Loaf Bourguignon reimagines the classic comfort food with the deep, robust flavors of a traditional beef stew. By incorporating dry red wine, Dijon mustard, and earthy herbs like thyme and oregano, this loaf achieves a sophisticated taste profile while remaining deeply comforting. The addition of ground pork and sausage adds moisture and complexity, preventing the beef from becoming dry. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a special holiday gathering, this hearty main course serves a crowd beautifully. It pairs wonderfully with creamy mashed potatoes or roasted root vegetables to soak up the savory juices. A true crowd-pleaser that bridges the gap between American home cooking and French elegance.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, and sausage meat.
  3. Add the chopped onions, minced garlic, minced parsley, oregano, thyme, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the meat.
  4. Stir in the teriyaki sauce (or Dijon mustard if substituting per notes), soy sauce, crushed crackers, minced walnuts, and beaten eggs.
  5. Mix all ingredients thoroughly by hand until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  6. Remove half of the meat mixture and set aside on a clean surface.
  7. Shape the remaining half into a flat oval or rectangular loaf on a piece of parchment paper.
  8. Arrange the sliced Cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the first meat layer.
  9. Shape the reserved half of the meat mixture into a similar loaf shape.
  10. Place the second meat layer on top of the cheese-covered layer, completely enclosing the cheese.
  11. Pinch the edges of the meat together firmly to seal the loaf and prevent leakage.
  12. Transfer the sealed loaf to a shallow roasting pan or baking dish.
  13. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160ðF (71ðC).
  14. Halfway through baking, drain any excess fat or juices from the pan using a turkey baster.
  15. Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  16. Slice the loaf into thick pieces and serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley sprigs.
