Indulge in the comforting goodness of our glazed meatloaf, a classic dish with a tender, juicy interior and a sweet and tangy glaze that tantalizes your taste buds. This comprehensive guide presents three variations of this beloved recipe, each offering unique flavors and textures to suit your preferences.

The rich, flavorful glaze, made with a combination of ketchup, brown sugar, and spices, caramelizes beautifully, adding a delightful crust and a burst of sweetness to every bite.

2. **Bacon-Wrapped Glazed Meatloaf**: Elevate your meatloaf game with this bacon-wrapped variation, where crispy, smoky bacon strips encase the juicy meatloaf, creating an irresistible combination of flavors and textures. The bacon not only adds a savory crunch but also infuses the meatloaf with its rich, smoky essence, making every slice a delightful experience.

Time 40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups ketchup
1 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20)
1 1/2 pounds ground pork
1 medium onion, grated and lightly squeezed of excess liquid
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
3/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Mix 1/2 cup of the ketchup, the breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, parsley, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce together in a large bowl and set aside until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the liquid, about 3 minutes.

  • Transfer the meat mixture to an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan (see Cook's Note) and press it into an even layer covering the entire surface. Whisk the remaining 1 1/2 cups ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and chipotle powder in a small bowl. Brush the meatloaf with the sauce.
  • Bake until the meat is cooked through, about 20 minutes, then turn on the broiler setting and broil until the top becomes caramelized and dark in spots, 3 to 4 minutes more, turning the pan periodically for even broiling. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

GLAZED MEATLOAF



Glazed Meatloaf image

Nothing says "home" like a classic meat loaf, the ultimate comfort food. The glaze adds a salty-sweet finish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes     Ground Beef Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 recipe Ground-Meat Mix (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with rack in center position. Gently mix together meat and mustard. Form meat mixture into a 4-by-8-inch oval (1 1/2 inches thick) on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Combine ketchup and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl; brush over surface of meatloaf to coat. Bake, rotating halfway through, until just cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 160 degrees, 40 to 45 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef. An 80/20 blend of ground chuck and ground sirloin is a good option.
  • Season the meatloaf well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Add moisture to the meatloaf. This can be done with eggs, milk, or beef broth.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a loaf pan. This will help the meatloaf hold its shape.
  • Glaze the meatloaf during the last 15 minutes of baking. This will give the meatloaf a shiny, caramelized crust.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the meatloaf stay moist and juicy.

Conclusion:
