My Grandmother 'Nanaw' Rowan made the most delicious meatloaf in the state. When she passed away, she didn't leave me her recipe, but she left me the desire to recreate it. I think this is it, in flavor and texture. Don't let the number of ingredients discourage you. It's part of the magic in creating a masterpiece!

Tips:

  • To achieve a flavorful and juicy meatloaf, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork.
  • Enhance the meatloaf's texture by incorporating bread crumbs, eggs, and milk. These ingredients help bind the meat mixture and add moisture.
  • Season the meatloaf generously with a blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. This combination of spices and condiments adds depth of flavor and umami.
  • For a smoky and tangy flavor, brush the meatloaf with a mixture of brown sugar, ketchup, and apple cider vinegar before baking. This glaze caramelizes during baking, creating a delicious crust.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F (71°C). This ensures that the meatloaf is cooked thoroughly while retaining its moisture.

Conclusion:

Tennessee Meatloaf, a beloved recipe from the Parton family, is a classic comfort food that combines the flavors of ground beef, pork, and a medley of seasonings. With its moist and tender texture, smoky glaze, and easy preparation, this dish is a delightful addition to any family meal.
