Equipment

  • oven
  • skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Sheet pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cups finely chopped yellow onions (3 onions)
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • cup canned chicken stock or broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 ½ pounds ground chuck (81% lean)
  • ½ cup plain dry bread crumbs
  • 2 extra-large eggs beaten
  • ½ cup ketchup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet. Reduce to medium-low heat and stir in the onions, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally until the onions are translucent, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove it from the heat and stir in the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste. Set it aside to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, lightly mix together the ground chuck, onion mixture, bread crumbs, and eggs with a fork. Do not over-mix or the meatloaf will be tough and dry.
  • Form the mixture into a loaf on the lined sheet pan. Slather the ketchup evenly on top.
  • Bake it for 1 to 1 ¼ hours, or until the internal temperature is 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Serve hot and enjoy!
