This is the only meatloaf I ever liked! Seasoned with fresh onion,a touch of bell pepper, and glazed with a sweet ketchup sauce. For our small family, we cook one loaf and freeze the other to cook at a later time.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds lean ground beef
½ cup crushed saltine crackers
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 eggs, beaten
¼ cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped green bell pepper
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground thyme
¼ teaspoon ground marjoram
¼ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons light corn syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine ground beef, cracker crumbs, tomato sauce, eggs, onion, bell pepper, salt, thyme, and marjoram in a large bowl and mix well. Shape beef mixture into two equally sized loaves. Place both loaves in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Meanwhile, mix ketchup and corn syrup in a small bowl to make a glaze.
  • Remove baking dish from the oven and remove foil. Brush glaze onto the loaves. Return baking dish to the oven uncovered, and continue baking until loaves are no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

The perfect 1 pound meatloaf recipe perfect for 1-2 people Classic comfort food for any night of the week.

Provided by Sydney Dawes

Categories     Dinner for One

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound Ground beef
2 Eggs
1/2 Onions, diced
1/2 cup Bread Crumbs
1/2 cup Ketchup, divided
2 tablespoons Worcestershire, divided
Salt and Pepper
Optional: Garlic Powder
Optional: Parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  • In a small bowl mix together 1/4 cup of the ketchup and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, mix together and set aside for later basting.
  • Throw 1 pound of ground beef 80/20 fat content into a big bowl. Break up into chunks and salt and pepper. Just give the salt shaker a couple of good shakes, and a little more with the pepper. If you like garlic shake in a bit of garlic powder, NOT garlic salt.
  • Dice up ½ a medium onion and toss into the bowl.
  • Squirt in ketchup, probably about ¼ cup to start.
  • Shake in Worcestershire sauce until it just smells right, about 1 tablespoon. It's a personal preference with the amount. If you really have no idea how much to use then give the bottle a couple of good shakes to start.
  • In a small bowl, lightly beat two eggs and mix into the ground beef mixture
  • Pour in a ½ cup of plain bread crumbs.
  • Use a wooden spoon to get everything mixed up nicely. Compress into a big ball.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and plop the meatloaf onto the lined baking sheet and mold the meatloaf into a rectangle.
  • Put the meatloaf into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes then baste with the ketchup Worcestershire sauce. Continue cooking for a total of 60 minutes. Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees to ensure it's fully cooked.
  • I like a little crispy to the sides so I broil at the end for a couple of minutes. Watch it so you don't burn the top.

MY MOMS MEATLOAF.



My Moms Meatloaf. image

This is a really, really simple meatloaf which uses ingredients I always have on hand. Mom told me the directions over the phone, so amounts are approximate. The relish is really to taste. I have made this way too sweet before, so I recommend starting out with maybe only one tablespoon of the sweet relish.

MY MOM'S MEATLOAF RECIPE

This is the best meatloaf, we always like to have extra glaze to serve with it at the table as well!

Provided by Connors Mama

Categories     Meat

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 Loaf, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs ground beef
1/2-1 cup onion, chopped
4 slices white bread, chopped in food processor
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup brown sugar
ketchup, enough to make paste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*.
  • In large bowl mix beef, chopped onions, bread and half of the milk with hands.
  • Slowly add the remainder of the milk if needed - too much will make the mixture to runny and it won't form the loaf.
  • Shape into loaf and place in a glass 8x8 or 9x13 baking dish, I add just a little water to the bottom of the pan.
  • Bake at 350* for 45 min, cover the top of the loaf with the glaze and finish baking for 15-20 min longer.
  • Let the loaf sit 10-15 min before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your meatloaf.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
  • Be sure the oven is preheated before cooking the meatloaf. This will help to ensure that the meatloaf cooks evenly.
  • Cook the meatloaf on a baking sheet or in a loaf pan. A baking sheet will allow the grease to drain away from the meatloaf, while a loaf pan will help the meatloaf to hold its shape.
  • Check the internal temperature of the meatloaf before removing it from the oven. The meatloaf is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can make a delicious and moist meatloaf that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a simple and hearty meal, give this meatloaf recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
