MOM'S GOOD OL' MEATLOAF

This is a very basic yet delicious meatloaf that is pretty much fool proof. I like to mix ground beef with ground venison for less grease and you won't need to drain it. However, all beef is just fine. Nothing fancy here, just good old fashion meatloaf that will please your tastebuds.

BETTER THAN MOM'S MEATLOAF



Better Than Mom's Meatloaf image

My mom's classic meatloaf was lacking in flavor and the topping was way too sweet. This "better than mom's" version still has lots of old-school appeal but has been kicked up a notch with a rich and savory flavor, plus we said goodbye to the sugary sweet topping. Sliced meatloaf leftovers make the best sandwiches. I like mine with mustard, cheese, and grilled onions!

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: A blend of 80% lean and 20% fat ground beef is ideal for meatloaf. This ratio provides a moist and flavorful loaf.
  • Add moisture: To keep the meatloaf moist, add a binder such as eggs, bread crumbs, or oatmeal. You can also add a liquid such as milk, tomato juice, or beef broth.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the meatloaf. Common seasonings include garlic, onion, parsley, thyme, sage, and salt and pepper.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a loaf pan: This will help the meatloaf hold its shape. You can also bake it in a free-form shape on a baking sheet.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: After baking, let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.
