Sunny's Nunya Business Meatloaf
- 2 pounds ground chuck (80 percent beef, 20 percent fat)
- 1 1/2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
- One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
- One 11-gram packet French onion mushroom soup/dip mix
- 1/4 cup finely grated (like sand baby!) Parmesan
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, if needed
- 1 egg, whisked
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Break up the beef and drop loosely in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the beef.
- In a medium bowl, add the tomatoes, soup mix and Parmesan.
- Mix and mash up any large chunks of tomatoes using a potato masher.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary (the mix packet contains lots of seasoning, so you probably won't need to).
- Add the egg and stir.
- Pour all but 1/2 cup of the flavor base (tomato mixture) over the top of the beef.
- Using your less dominant hand with your fingers spread out like a pitchfork, gently mix and fold everything together, turning the bowl with your free hand, until just combined.
- Don't over-mix!
- Form the mixture into the shape of a loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet or press gently into a meatloaf pan.
- Top the loaf with the remaining flavor base.
- Cook until the internal temperature is 155 degrees F, 50 to 65 minutes.
- Remove and gently cover with aluminum foil for 10 minutes to allow the ambient heat to bring it to 160 degrees F before slicing and serving.
