Perfect Meatloaf Every Single Time

Today we're making one of my favorite versions of meatloaf. This Italian-style meatloaf comes out tender and juicy because it's made with 80/20 chuck. It's flavored with garlic, parsley, and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and cooked in a red wine mushroom onion sauce. I hope you enjoy this easy Italian meatloaf recipe!

I watch your videos over and over. Each time I prepare a meal, I often watch a particular video again because I was never allowed in the kitchen while my mom was cooking since she was always "nervous." So ironically, I am using what I've learned from you to prepare delicious meals for my parents, who are nearing their nineties. I am caring for them now, and they think I am the most excellent cook. Thank you!

Your really underrated, i hate channels who have to slam stuff or be quirky. You are entertaining and straight to the point. I know your channel will grow like crazy :)

I asked my wife if she could try making your meatloaf recipe today and she was eager to try it since we both watched this video two or three times. DELICIOUS!
To our disappointment we discovered we were missing one ingredient, the mushrooms. Since I was determined to have meatloaf for supper, I suggested using up the red, yellow, and green peppers we already had in the fridge in place of the mushrooms.
She followed your recipe to a tee except she mixed some chopped onions in the meatloaf and spread the peppers around the perimeter in the Centos tomato sauce.
The meatloaf turned out DELICIOUS!
We enjoy your presentations and high quality of the videos. Looking forward to making more of your recipes!

My wife loves sip and feast because watching this video got me re-interested in cooking after years of her doing it. We both love the recipes!

I just recently subscribed after watching a few of your videos. I am extremely impressed in your cooking skills, explanation, knowledge, & presentation of your videos. Your dishes look amazing. This is the best meatloaf video I have found. I did make this last week & it was a major hit. I plan on making more of your dishes as you are now my go to chef. Thanks!

Nigella Lawson always freezes her leftover wine in ziploc bags in half cups or whatever you would normally use in a recipe and defrost as needed and I always thought that's a great idea

OK last week I did the Italian Woodsman's rigatoni. Delicious. I'm still dreaming of it. I cook for my Mom and Dad (both 92) and disabled brother. My Mom is 100% Italian and I grew up cooking my Grandma's Northern Italian food. I started in grade-school and thank God because I am the only one who knows her recipes now. I printed up a huge cookbook for my siblings for Christmas. Anyway I made this meatloaf yesterday and we all loved it. I could not stop eating it. I only wish that I had doubled the recipe! It's as easy to make as falling off a chair. My first impression was that you MUST be Italian to have such ass0kicking good food. And sure enough you are. Look forward to doing more. You are a superb chef even if your son doesn't always agree. Lastly, I particularly like the fact that you don't embellish the prep and just dig in with the cooking.

I’ve made 3 of your recipes now and it’s three for three now. This is easily the best meatloaf I’ve ever had.

I used to love making little igloo's out of meatloaves around winter.

I love that YouTube gives me suggestions, I recently found your channel and now I've subscribed but I'm getting older recommendations, great looking meatloaf and loving this channel!

You have no idea how good your videos are for a guy that doesn't want "complicated'. I can do these dishes and they are delicious. Thank You so much. This meatloaf is killer good. Best Regards.

My wife just flipped out over this dish for 15 minutes straight. That’s happened maybe 5 times in 7 years. This is now a thing. Thanks, man!

You and Tara win the prize. My octogenarian parents loved it and my my Master Sargent brother returned from 4 days of brutal US Army field training with his men and got home in time for a plate and totally loved it. He detected the wine in it. Haha. And I have lunch for tomorrow at work. Thanks James and Tara.
