- 1. Preheat oven to 350. Into a large bowl combine ground beef, eggs, diced onion, tomato sauce, ketchup, garlic salt, pepper and crushed corn flakes. Mix well.
- 2. Pour out the meatloaf into a 9 x 13 baking dish and form into a large loaf making an indentation in the top of the meatloaf for the sauce. (see photo)
- 3. Now make the sauce. Whisk all the sauce ingredients together: tomato sauce, water, vinegar, splenda brown sugar and mustard
- 4. Pour the sauce over the meatloaf in your pan.
- 5. Make sure you get some in the indentation on top of the meatloaf.
- 6. Cover with foil and bake 2 hours. BASTE OCCASIONALLY! Remove foil during the last 30 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
- 7. Remove from oven and let sit uncovered for 5 minutes before cutting.
Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef. An 80/20 blend of ground chuck and ground sirloin is a good option for a moist and flavorful meatloaf.
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the meatloaf will taste.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
- Shape the meatloaf into a loaf pan. This will help it cook evenly.
- Bake the meatloaf at a moderate temperature. A temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal.
- Baste the meatloaf with its own juices during cooking. This will help keep it moist.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.
