Instructions
Pour hot water over tomatoes and soak until softened, about 30 minutes; drain.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a loaf pan with cooking spray.
Mix drained tomatoes, ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, basil, ketchup, provolone cheese, egg whites, and garlic together in a bowl; pack into prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
Recommended wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel
Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel are great choices for Meatloaf. Meatloaf will work with many red wines. We recommend something bold and fruity, like a Cabernet Sauvignon or Zinfandel. The Nickel & Nickel Branding Iron Cabernet Sauvignon with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 110 dollars per bottle.
Nickel & Nickel Branding Iron Cabernet Sauvignon
Branding Iron Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has the aromas of wildberry and forest that distinguish this vineyard, even in a cooler year. Earth and sage complement the fruit and give a depth of flavor on the midpalate. The spicy oak and vanilla components add complexity, while the gentle tannins from this vintage are approachable now.
