Julia Child's Meatloaf
Lily UniquelyMasterCook
2 cups minced onions
2 Tbsp. butter or oil
1 cup pressed-down homemade bread crumbs
2 lbs. ground beef chuck
1 lb. ground raw turkey plus 1 cup cooked rice (see note)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup beef bouillon
2/3 cup grated Cheddar cheese
1-2 cloves pureed garlic
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. thyme
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. oregano
3 bay leaves
Heat oven to 350. Saute the onions in the butter or oil 5 minutes or so,
until tender and translucent; raise heat and saute a few minutes longer,
until lightly browned. Scrape into a large mixing bowl. Combine all
ingredients except the bay leaves in the bowl and mix together thoroughly,
using first a wooden spoon and then your hands. Shape the mass into a
free-form loaf on a buttered cookie sheet or into a buttered 8-cup loaf
pan. Arrange the bay leaves on top. Bake in the lower middle of the oven
for about 1-1/2 hours at 350 degrees. The meat loaf is done when the
juices run almost clear with a pale pink tinge. A meat thermometer should
read 155 degrees. Let cool for 30 minutes and pour off the fat and juices
before serving.
Note: This meatloaf also can be made with a pound of ground pork
shoulder or sausage instead of ground turkey. In that case, eliminate the
cup of cooked rice.
