    Meatloaf Marsala

    I happen to really like chicken Marsala and decided I could get those same great flavors into a meatloaf. Because who doesn’t want to elevate a loaf of meat?

    I also have a Crock Pot Chicken Marsala and a Marsala wine sauce with mushrooms that is so delicious!

    What type of wine is Marsala?

    Marsala wine comes in both red and white, and sweet and dry. It is a fortified wine, which means additional alcohol is added to bring its alcohol content up.

    Marsala wine originated in the small town of Marsala in Sicily, Italy.

    Which type of Marsala wine is used to cook with?

    Dry Marsala wine is traditionally used and preferred in cooking savory dishes.

    Ingredients for Meatloaf Marsala

    • Ground Beef or Ground Chicken
    • Italian Seasoning
    • Garlic Powder
    • Onion Powder
    • Broth (Use beef broth for the ground beef. If using ground chicken use chicken broth.)
    • Large Eggs
    • Salt
    • Black Pepper
    • Breadcrumbs
    • Grated Parmesan

    Ingredients for Marsala Gravy

    • Butter
    • Baby Bella Mushrooms
    • Garlic, minced
    • All-Purpose Flour
    • Beef Broth
    • Chicken Broth
    • Marsala Wine
    • Heavy Whipping Cream
    • Fresh Parsley

    How to Make Meatloaf Marsala

    • Preheat oven to 350º F. Line a baking pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray or use a 9″x5″ loaf pan and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
    • In a mixing bowl, combine all meatloaf ingredients until well mixed.

    • Place on a baking sheet and form into the shape of a loaf or spread evenly in the 9″x5″ loaf pan.
    • Bake for 50-60 minutes until juices run clear and the center is no longer pink. The center should read 165º F for ground chicken and 160º F for ground beef. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

    • While the meatloaf cooks, make the gravy by melting butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once melted, add mushrooms and cook until golden brown. Add garlic and cook 30-60 seconds more until fragrant. Add broth, Marsala wine, heavy whipping cream, and parsley. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often until it has thickened.

    Make-Ahead

    Meatloaf Marsala can be made ahead. I recommend mixing all of the meatloaf ingredients and refrigerating for up to 24 hours prior to baking.

    The Marsala sauce can be made ahead as well. Store in an airtight container until ready to use within 3-4 days. Once it is ready to be eaten, place in a saucepan on the stove and heat through.

    How Long to Reheat Meatloaf in Oven

    The best way to reheat meatloaf is in the oven. Drizzle the meatloaf with more broth to prevent drying out. Cover with aluminum foil and cook the loaf at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes.

    Cooking at a low temperature keeps it from drying out because it will take a bit of time to heat through to the center.

    How long does meatloaf Marsala last?

    In the refrigerator, it can last up to 3-4 days.

    What to Serve with Meatloaf

    • Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
    • Garlic Parmesan Roasted Carrots
    • No-Peel Instant Pot Garlic Mashed Potatoes
    • Ratatouille

    Enjoy!

      I make chicken marsala regularly and wanted to try your meatloaf marsala. It was absolutely delicious! I added sauted onions and better than bouillon beef as my base instead of stock and Taylor Marsala wine. Got rave reviews!! Thanks for sharing
