Meatloaf image

Meatloaf is the quintessential comfort food, the antithesis of fancy restaurant fare. Eat it hot with creamy mashed potatoes or, for greater ease on the cook's part, with baked potatoes and a bowl of chive-flecked sour cream.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, finely chopped
Salt
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef, at room temperature
12 ounces ground pork, at room temperature
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
5 Ritz crackers, finely crushed
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons applesauce
5 to 6 slices bacon
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place a skillet over medium heat, and melt butter. Add onion and salt to taste, and sauté until golden brown. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine beef, pork, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mustard, cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup applesauce. Add onion, and mix well. Gently press into a loaf pan 9 inches by 5 inches by 3 inches, and smooth top. Spread top with remaining 3 tablespoons applesauce, and lay bacon slices lengthwise over top. Sprinkle generously with black pepper.
  • Bake until well browned on top and no longer pink in center, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, and carefully pour out juices that have accumulated in pan. Allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before removing from pan and slicing.

I used ground turkey instead of beef and it turned out great. This is a versatile recipe that can be easily adapted to your liking.

This meatloaf was way too salty for my taste. I would definitely use less salt next time.

The meatloaf fell apart when I tried to slice it. I think I didn't mix the ingredients together well enough.

This meatloaf was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add some more moisture next time.
