This version offers all the heartwarming flavors of traditional meat loaf without the usual preparation. By using just one skillet, this recipe eliminates the need for loaf pans. It also significantly reduces cook time, allowing you to serve a delicious homemade meal in just 30 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This cooking method ensures that the meat loaf is moist inside and nicely browned outside. The direct heat from the skillet speeds up the cooking process, allows for full flavor development and creates a beautifully caramelized crust\u2014a delightful touch that&#8217;s difficult to achieve with traditional baking methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ingredients for Skillet Meat Loaf<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2% milk<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>: <\/strong>Milk adds moisture to the meat loaf, ensuring it doesn&#8217;t dry out during cooking. Unsweetened almond or soy milk can be a nondairy option for a similar consistency.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Quick-cooking oats<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>:<\/strong> The oats act as a binder to hold the meat loaf together, making it firm yet tender. Bread crumbs or crushed crackers can also serve as effective binders. Almond flour works as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/gluten-free-baking-guide\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/gluten-free-baking-guide\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">gluten-free option<\/a>, and a whole egg could be used for a protein-based binder.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Onion<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>:<\/strong> Chopped onion offers a bit of crunch and sweetness, enhancing the flavors around it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lean ground beef:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> While ground beef is the backbone of this dish, lean ground chicken or turkey are lighter alternatives with a similar texture and ability to absorb flavors. For a vegetarian option, lentils combined with chopped mushrooms provide a meaty texture.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cornstarch: <\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cornstarch is used to thicken the tomato sauce slightly. Arrowroot will also work in a pinch, and tapioca starch or a roux made from flour and butter can also be thickening agents.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Italian tomato sauce<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>:<\/strong> The sauce adds a tangy and herby touch. If you don&#8217;t have Italian-style sauce, you can use plain tomato sauce and add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/italian-seasoning\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/italian-seasoning\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Italian seasoning<\/a> (a blend of oregano, basil, thyme and rosemary).
