Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons snipped parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/4 cup catsup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard

Steps:

  • First, in a large bowl combine eggs and milk then stir in breadcrumbs. Next add onion parsley, salt, sage, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Mix them together a few times then add in the beef and mix well. I suggest using your hands, and this is how I was taught, it mixes faster and better than using a spoon of any kind.
  • Shape your meatloaf into a 'loaf' shape if not using a bread pan, though I suggest you do, or use the mini loaf pan I mentioned above. Then go ahead and bake in a 350-degree oven for 50 minutes. Then make sure to spoon off excess fat.
  • Mix together the ketchup, sugar, and dry mustard, mix it well then spread over the top of the meatloaf.
  • Then return to the oven for 10-15 minutes. This makes about six servings.

ORIGINAL ANN LANDERS MEATLOAF



Original Ann Landers Meatloaf image

This is the original version my mom handed down to me and has been one of my family staples since the 70s. I occasionally add other ingredients such as bell pepper or fresh onions, or top with bacon or cheese slice triangles. Sometimes I substitute saltine cracker crumbs to give it a different texture. My favorite part is meatloaf sandwiches from the leftovers.

GRANDMA'S MEATLOAF WITH OATS



Grandma's Meatloaf with Oats image

Grandma's meatloaf recipe was the best I have ever tried to make. My previous attempts to create a healthy, yet good tasting meatloaf recipe failed repeatedly because each attempt resulted in a dry loaf. Not so with Grandma's recipe! I added more seasonings and scaled her recipe up a bit so 2 full pounds of beef can be used and a whole can of tomato sauce (instead of a partial can). Plus beef is usually sold in 1-pound packages, so assembly time is reduced.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: For a classic meatloaf, use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin. This will give you a flavorful and juicy loaf.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf can make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use fresh bread crumbs: Fresh bread crumbs will help to bind the meatloaf together and keep it moist. Avoid using dried bread crumbs, as they can make the meatloaf dry.
  • Add moisture to the meatloaf: To keep the meatloaf moist, add some moisture to the mixture. This can be done by adding eggs, milk, or broth.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Be generous with the seasonings when making meatloaf. This will help to give it flavor. Some common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a low temperature: Meatloaf should be baked at a low temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about an hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Before slicing the meatloaf, let it rest for about 10 minutes. This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful meatloaf that will be a hit at any gathering. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give meatloaf a try!
