My Meatloaf is World Famous | Chef Jean-Pierre

[@coriolass]

This recipe has become one of my all time favorites, never fails to blow my dinner guests minds. I did really good meatloaf before, but what I learned making this elevated it several levels. It deserves all the fame and accolades it's gotten and more, thanks for sharing chef.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thank you Daniel! Don't forget the next day on a baguette with a little Dijon mustard, pickles and mayo! Just as god as hot!!! 😊

[@coriolass]

@@ChefJeanPierre I really hope I get to try that sometime, it sounds amazing. Thus far it's never made it to leftovers, maybe I should try making two at once. : )

[@adriennenunya9290]

Agreed! I made a “family favorite” meatloaf before, and NOW, there’s never any leftover! I even use my mixer to grind meat fresh…it’s incredible!

[@coriolass]

Chef Jean-Pierre, I don't know nothin' about no fancy French cookin' but when I fire up my smoker, mouths water for miles around- because I am THAT good with the BBQ. I have to say, your channel has made me that much better. Good tips are good tips, no matter where you get 'em or where you use 'em. So thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you. With that said, if you think this meatloaf is good coming out of the oven, you REALLY need to try it Hickory-smoked. Your exact recipe, down to the glaze. The only change is the heat source (which introduces the smoke). It's amazing!

[@christinabernat6709]

I am speechless because it looks THAT delicious. As a lifelong LOVER of bacon, I salute this beauty. 🙏🎉🙏🎉🙏🎉🙏🎉 And the accelerated speed placing the bacon was not only a smart move, but funny!

[@corky1256]

I can confirm, I made this meatloaf last year and my family said it was the best meatloaf theyd ever had in their life. It’s truly special.

[@Daggadread]

I've made this in the past and it is by far the best Meatloaf recipe. The fact that you bake it out of the pan takes away all the grease that would otherwise be trapped. Always my go to recipe for comfort food.

[@Rypatriot]

For those complaining about the bacon…This isn’t the channel for you! I made this same recipe last week. DELICIOUS!

[@bobkeps2095]

About how long does it take in the oven? Just trying have an estimate for timing sides purpose. I'll obviously check with thermometer. Is it closer to 30min or 1hr 30min?

I actually bought meat this weekend to fix it on Wednesday. Such perfect timing fir me Chef Jean. You are without a doubt my favorite chef. You are real...! I'm not much for cooking, but you are so inspiring. You are the only Chef who after watching any of your videos I want to cook whatever you've made! You are such a blessing to the world of food.

I have made this twice now. Each time a masterpiece. My first one I actually used pastrami instead of bacon. Both versions were perfection. Thank you chef.

[@christinabernat6709]

Pastrami...on my, sounds also delish. Great that you shared this. TY.

[@theodoreberbach9562]

Also if you don't want salt you can use shredded prosciutto too, add another layer of flavour in there

[@Lizbestdeals]

How much temperature do you put it? I did at 305 F but all thejuices came out and the bottom was still raw after 60 minutes. Thank you.

[@nathanlambshead4778]

@@Lizbestdeals That is way too low in temp. I would say try 375 or even 400, depending on how hot your particular oven is. If I remember right, I went with 380 F for 45 minutes covered with foil, then took off the foil and turned the oven up to 400, re-glazed some more, and went another 35 minutes or so.

[@shadowhenge7118]

This dish looks so good that you want to take a picture before cutting it. CJP never stops amazing me with his humble training for the masses. Whoever says can't cook, you have never watched CJP. It is so simple to follow, but of course you have to have love for the culinary arts and once you do, the possibilities are endless. The most important lesson I have learned on this channel: "Measure careful". Before I watched CJP I used to be a little skeptical on not measuring, but since watching CJP I have truly learn to measure with my taste bud, hence "measure carefully". Love this guy. Keep it up CJP. 👨‍🍳

So yeah, I'd say that Chef J P is not one to loaf. Not meat or anything else. Hard working man on KZbin, now my favorite KZbin chef. Instructor in culinary cool. Go head and hold court chef.

I was already proud of my meatloaf before, but this receipe WOW, absolute delight. For christmas I asked a favor of my butcher to make an extra special version, in which I used 45 days dry aged prime ribs, veal chops and porc shoulder has my base meat and the breadcrumbs were made from cheese bread and crusted bread, everything else I followed your receipe to the letter... IN.CRE.DI.BLE. We accompanied that with your receipe of stuffing but with the remainder of the porc instead of turkey and also your receipe of twice basked potatos served as mashed potatos and finally your mushroom sauce. Best christmas meal ever. Thank you Chef Jean-Pierre, you are the best.

[@GotWag]

I just discovered Chef Jean Pierre a week ago. Between his KZbin & his website videos I've learned more *useful* techniques and information in this past week than I have learned in the past 15 years watching various popular food channels on TV. To be fair those cooking channels gave me an interest in learning to cook, and I did learn a few tips along the way (at 45 y/o I still had never learned to cook anything, really, so everything was a 'tip' I suppose). But mostly I learned about foods/ingredients I'd never heard of (nor could I find them where I live), extravagant dishes, meals that took two dozen ingredients and 4 hours to prepare, etc....But I still couldn't thicken a gravy, peel & dice a tomato, use butter properly without burning it, make stock or Thanksgiving gravy and so on. IMO, without the basics, you're setting yourself up for failure, or at the very least, frustration. This chef teaches basic techniques in simple, easy to understand ways - each video I learn something new, and more importantly, Useful for everyday cooking. In my mind, the actual recipes he gives us are almost lagniappe - our real gift is Chef freely sharing his lifetime of knowledge, skills, tips and techniques. Thank you Chef Jean Pierre, you are appreciated.

I’ll never forget you and this recipe. It’s now my family’s to-go (my own created family) meatloaf recipe. My mother would make this dish and always missed the mark for me as a child. I grew up very poor and so my mother tried her best with the food (she wanted to impress), but she always overworked the meat and added too many eggs. Came out dry as hell. So after I made my only family I sent out in search of the perfect one, because I love the idea of meatloaf. You adding bacon as a bumper to help the ground meat to not get to but to also enhance flavor was like a “genius moment” not for me but for you! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. ❤
