Ingredients:  
1 Tbsp good olive oil
3 cups chopped yellow onions (3 onions)
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 tsp Kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup canned chicken stock or broth

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325º F.

Heat the olive oil in a medium sauté pan. Add the onions, thyme, salt & pepper and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally , for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not brown. Take off the heat, add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock and tomato paste. Allow to cool slightly.

In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, onion mixture, bread crumbs and eggs and mix lightly with a fork. Don't mash or the meat loaf will be dense.
Shape the mixture into a rectangular loaf on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper. Spread the ketchup evenly on top.
Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the internal temperature is 160º F. and the meat loaf is cooked through.
Serve hot.

Personal Notes:

The above meat loaf recipe is courtesy of Ina Garten...my queen. She makes good plain food and I use her cookbooks and recipes a lot...however, the beer idea is mine.



MARIAN'S WAY:

Substitute the chicken stock for beer. It adds a nice tang to the meat loaf.
