Steps:
- Mix all together and shape into a loaf on a shallow baking pan. Bake @ 350 degrees about 1 to 1 1/2 hr. Topping: 1/2 c. brown sugar 1/3 c. catsup 1 tbsp mustard. Spread on top of loaf last 15 min of baking. Save some topping to drizzle over loaf after it is sliced and ready to serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right beef. A good quality ground beef chuck or sirloin is best for meatloaf. Avoid using ground beef that is too lean, as it will result in a dry loaf.
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices will give your meatloaf the best flavor. Avoid using pre-packaged or dried ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Shape the meatloaf into a loaf shape. This will help it cook evenly. You can use a loaf pan or shape it by hand.
- Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit. You can also cover the meatloaf with aluminum foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to help it stay moist.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the loaf.
