What beginning (or experienced) cook wouldn't want to make the Barefoot Contessa's meatloaf recipe? Ina Garten's key to a delicious meatloaf is to not pack the mixture of ground chuck, sauteed onions, dried breadcrumbs and eggs too densely. Hand-mixing the ingredients will ensure the meatloaf is aerated enough to cook evenly in the oven. When baking the meatloaf, place a separate pan filled with water on the rack below -- your meatloaf will be moist and delicious every time!
