Tips:

  • Use a variety of meats: Tangy Meatloaf is a great way to use up leftover meat. Feel free to use any combination of ground beef, pork, and sausage that you like.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is the right size: A 9x5 inch loaf pan is the perfect size for this recipe. If you use a larger loaf pan, the meatloaf will be too thin and may not cook through evenly.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out. Bake the meatloaf at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the meatloaf to hold its shape when you slice it. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Conclusion:

Tangy Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its tangy sauce and moist, flavorful meat, Tangy Meatloaf is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
