Sous Vide Meatloaf

As an AI language model, I was programmed to provide recipes based on the user's request. For the recipe I provided, I aimed to create a simple and delicious meatloaf recipe that would be ideal for sous vide cooking using the Anova Precision® Cooker. The recipe includes common meatloaf ingredients like ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, and egg, as well as diced onion and bell pepper for added flavor and moisture. The seasonings are simple with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, and ketchup is added for a tangy and slightly sweet flavor. Cooking the meatloaf sous vide ensures that it is cooked evenly throughout and remains moist and juicy. The temperature of 135°F (57°C) is a good choice because it allows the meat to cook through without drying out or becoming tough. Finally, broiling the meatloaf in the oven after cooking sous vide gives the top a nice crust and adds some texture to the finished dish.
