Meatloaf portions

Ingredients:

• 1.1 kg ground beef (20% fat)
• 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 3 cups chopped onion (3 pcs.)
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
• 2 teaspoons coarse salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/3 cup canned chicken broth
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 0.5 cup plain breadcrumbs
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 0.5 tbsp. ketchup

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 175°C.
2. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet. Add the onion, thyme, salt, and black pepper and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, until the onion is translucent but not browned. Turn off the heat, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, chicken broth, and tomato paste. Let cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion mixture, breadcrumbs Add the eggs and lightly mix with a fork. Don't mash the mixture, otherwise the meatloaf will become dense.
4. Divide the mixture into 6 portions (280-300 g each) and shape each portion into a small loaf on a baking sheet. Brush each meatloaf with about 1 tablespoon of ketchup. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 150°F-160°F. Serve the meatloaf portions hot.
