MOMS MEATLOAF RECIPE



Moms Meatloaf Recipe image

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.

MOM'S MEATLOAF

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.

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!

MOM'S FAVORITE MEATLOAF



Mom's Favorite Meatloaf image

I don't really like meatloaf at all, but when mom made this one, she really had a hit with the entire family! Not your typical meatloaf -- very tasty! Use fresh sausage, not frozen! Use more crackers if the loaf seems too moist before cooking. Excellent for sandwiches the next day!!

MY MOM'S MEATLOAF RECIPE



My Mom's Meatloaf Recipe image

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 a combination of ground beef and pork: This will give the meatloaf a more flavorful and moist texture.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
  • Add some vegetables to the meatloaf mixture: This will add flavor and nutrients.
  • Use a loaf pan that is just the right size for the meatloaf mixture: A too-large loaf pan will result in a dry meatloaf.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a moderate temperature: This will help to prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing: This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf.
