@courtneylcook: Easy Bitterballen-Inspired Meatloaf 🇳🇱 Ingredients 1 pound lean ground beef (93/7) 4 tablespoons butter 1 large onion, finely diced 1/2- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs 2 tablespoons cream cheese 1 heaping tablespoon mustard 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1 teaspoon gravy granules (optional, but up this because this amount did not make a difference) Salt and black pepper, to taste Instructions Preheat the oven to 375°F (190° C). Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the diced onion and cook slowly until deeply golden and caramelized, about 15–20 minutes. Let cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, caramelized onions (including any butter remaining in the pan), panko breadcrumbs, cream cheese, mustard, nutmeg, optional gravy granules, salt, and pepper. Using your hands, gently mix until just combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into small oval loaves. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F for safety reasons 😉 For a crispier exterior, switch the oven to broil and cook for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully until the tops are lightly browned and crisp. This texture made it! Let rest for a few minutes before serving. I neglected to do this 😆 Serve with mustard… or the “genius sauce” which I will do next time: equal parts mayo, curry ketchup, sweet hot mustard, and regular mustard 😏
