I found this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine quite a few years ago. My two boys just loved it when they were growing up, and when you find something that the kids like you tend to stick with it. It's one of those keepers. The only change that I made to the recipe is that I use 1 Tablespoon of vinegar in the sauce instead of...

Super easy and super tasty! The sauce gives a sweet and tangy flavor.

Provided by Missy Asche

Categories     Meatloafs

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lb hamburger
1 egg
1 slice bread (torn into small pieces)
1 small onion, chopped fine
4 Tbsp ketchup (4 tbsp. equals 1/4 cup)
1/2 c milk
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
SAUCE INGREDIENTS
1/4 c vinegar
1/4 c brown sugar (you can also use coconut sugar if you have it)
1/2 c ketchup

Steps:

  • 1. Combine meatloaf ingredients & place in baking dish (I use a bread/loaf pan).
  • 2. Combine sauce ingredients, pour on top of meatloaf.
  • 3. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Tips:

  • To achieve a perfectly browned and crispy crust on your meatloaf, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) before baking.
  • Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for a moist and flavorful meatloaf. If you prefer a leaner option, you can use ground turkey or chicken.
  • Add some vegetables to your meatloaf mixture, such as grated carrots, chopped celery, or diced onions, to boost its nutritional value and add extra flavor.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture, as this can result in a tough and dense loaf.
  • To prevent the meatloaf from drying out, wrap it in aluminum foil before baking. Remove the foil for the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the top to brown.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the loaf, resulting in a more flavorful and moist meatloaf.

Conclusion:

This sweet and sour meatloaf recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a family meal. The combination of sweet and sour flavors, along with the moist and flavorful meatloaf, makes this a dish that everyone will enjoy. Serve it with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal. With its simple ingredients and straightforward instructions, this recipe is sure to become a staple in your kitchen. So next time you're looking for a tasty and hassle-free dinner option, give this sweet and sour meatloaf a try!
