GRANDMA MARY'S MEATLOAF



Grandma Mary's Meatloaf image

My grandma gave me this recipe when I was a little girl. I have been making for years. The addition of cinnamon to the glaze makes it a little different. People always love this meatloaf.

Provided by M. Mathews

Categories     Meatloafs

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds ground beef lean 80/20
2 eggs
1/2 c ketchup
1/2 onion
1/2 c dry oatmeal
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
GLAZE
1 c ketchup
1/4 c brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
optional dash of red pepper flakes or cayenne

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350. Chop onion and beat eggs. Mix all meatloaf ingredients and pat into a round pan to form a whole in the middle of the meatloaf ( this is to drain the fat) so that it is shaped like a doughnut. Can also be placed on a broiler pan. Place in oven and cook for 30 minutes. In the meantime mix glaze ingredients and set aside. Mix to taste. More or less sugar and cinnamon can be added according to your tastes. You can also use Splenda for lower calorie in place of brown sugar. After 30 minutes, take meatloaf out of oven and spoon the grease that has collected in the center out of the meatloaf. Spread glaze over meatloaf and put back into the oven for 10 minutes. Note: This can also be cooked in the microwave in a microwave safe round shaped pan for 10 to 15 minutes to save time.

Bloody Mary mix adds a little kick to the regular boring ketchup meatloaf recipes out there! Sour creams makes it nice and moist too!

Provided by Chef BeeGee

Categories     Meatloaf

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 slice, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 egg
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 (1 ounce) envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
3/4 cup bloody mary mix

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients in a bowl, and add into a 9x5 in loaf pan, greased with non-stick spray (like Pam). Top with ketchup (optional). Bake for 1 hour. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving for easier slicing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef. Use a mixture of ground chuck and ground sirloin for a flavorful and juicy meatloaf.
  • Breadcrumbs are a must. They help to bind the meatloaf together and keep it moist.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf shape and place it in a baking dish. Make sure the meatloaf is evenly shaped so that it cooks evenly.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the meatloaf to stay moist and juicy.
