SAVORY ELEGANT MEATLOAF

INGREDIENTS

2 large yellow onions, finely chopped
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, minced (you may substitute ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup San-J Tamari
¾ cup beef or chicken broth
1 ½ teaspoons tomato paste
5 pounds lean ground beef
1 ½ cups plain bread crumbs
3 extra large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, minced (you may substitute ½ teaspoon dried parsley)
¾ cup ketchup

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium sauté pan, cook the onions, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme over medium-low heat until the onions are translucent, but not browned, approximately 15 minutes. About 2 minutes before the onions are completely cooked, add the minced garlic and stir to combine. Add the San-J Tamari, broth and tomato paste and mix well. Remove the onions from the heat and allow the onions to cool to room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, parsley and onion mixture in a large bowl. Toss and mix until just combined and shape into a rectangular loaf. Place the loaf in an ungreased rectangular 9" x 13" glass or metal pan. Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf and bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature is 160°F when tested with a meat thermometer. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Slice into portions about 1/2-inch thick and serve immediately.
