Heart-Shaped Meatloaf

This Heart-Shaped Meatloaf is easy enough for any home cook to tackle and perfect for Valentine’s Day. This recipe is as easy as mixing everything together and baking but the resulting dish is anything but simple in flavor. Loaded with three types of meat, this meatloaf is moist, light in texture, and rich in flavor. But the real secret to this meatloaf moist tenderness is to baste it while it’s cooking.

You don’t need to have a heart-shaped baking pan for this recipe. You can easily shape the meatloaf with your hands. Start by mixing up all of the ingredients for the meatloaf. Add the meat mixture to the pan (if you have one) and gently press it down. Next, prepare the glaze and pour about one-third over the top of the meatloaf. Transfer the meatloaf to the oven and bake. As it cooks, baste with the remaining glaze mixture every 15 minutes. Let the meatloaf rest before slicing, and enjoy!

To make the Heart-Shaped Meatloaf, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Heart-Shaped Meatloaf

1	Heat oven	5

2	Make meatloaf mixture	2
In a large bowl, combine ½ pound ground beef chuck, ½ pound ground pork, ½ pound ground veal, 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs, ¼ cup whole milk, 1 diced onion, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon thyme leaves, and ½ cup tomato sauce.
3	Shape meatloaf	3
Shape the prepared meat mixture into a heart-shaped loaf, and transfer to a lightly greased rimmed baking sheet.
