Description
This my 86-year-old Aunt Libby’s home-made meatloaf recipe. I finally had her write it down for me last year. You can be sure no one will tell you this meatloaf is dry!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 ½ cups ketchup
- ¼ cup water
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix beef
- onion
- 1 cup ketchup
- bread crumbs
- eggs
- salt
- and pepper together in a bowl. Press beef mixture into a loaf in the prepared loaf pan.
- Mix 1 1/2 cups ketchup
- water
- vinegar
- brown sugar
- mustard
- and Worcestershire sauce together in a saucepan; cook and stir over medium heat until sauce is smooth and warm
- about 10 minutes. Pour 1/3 the sauce over meatloaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven
- basting every 25 minutes with more sauce
- until meatloaf is cooked through
- 1 to 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
