MEATLOAF RECIPE
Recipe video above. Meatloaf is so much more than a giant hunk of ground beef in a loaf shape. It should ooze with flavour, be moist and tender yet not crumble apart when sliced. And the caramelised glaze is the crowning glory!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Oil or spray a loaf tin. (Note 3)
- Glaze: Mix together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Meatloaf: Place breadcrumbs in a very large bowl. Grate over onion. Mix so the breadcrumbs are all wet. (Note 4)
- Add remaining ingredients. Mix well using your hands. Form into a loaf shape, pinching together then smoothing over creases and cracks (helps prevent cracks during baking).
- Transfer into loaf tin. Brush generously with glaze, using about 1/2.
- Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with most of the remaining glaze. If there is excess fat pooling, scoop/pour it off.
- Bake for a further 30 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Stand for 10 minutes before turning out and cutting into thick slices. You will probably get a bit of crumbling just on the edges of the first couple of slices, this is normal and indicative of the tenderness of the meatloaf (zero crumble indicates firm packed harder meatloaf which isn't as enjoyable!).
- Ideal served with a dollop of ketchup, creamy mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.

BETTER THAN MOM'S MEATLOAF
My mom's classic meatloaf was lacking in flavor and the topping was way too sweet. This "better than mom's" version still has lots of old-school appeal but has been kicked up a notch with a rich and savory flavor, plus we said goodbye to the sugary sweet topping. Sliced meatloaf leftovers make the best sandwiches. I like mine with mustard, cheese, and grilled onions!

MO'S MEATLOAF
MO is for mushrooms and onions. Canned mushrooms and the liquid were used because together they provide a natural source of flavor enhancement similar to MSG. The catsup, is of course optional, but it does add a desirable sweetness. Cooking is a creative sport. This recipe will serve four people, or one solo meal and enough cold meatloaf to make several more lunches.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix all the ingredients, except for the catsup, together in a large bowl.
- Bake in a loaf pan for 1 hour and 15 minutes at 350°F.
- The internal temperature should reach 165°F when done.
- Pour catsup on top immediately, and then let the meatloaf rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
- If leftovers are desired, remove excess liquid from the loaf pan, and refrigerate, covered for up to 4 days.
Tips:
- To ensure a moist and flavorful meatloaf, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. The pork adds fat and moisture, which helps to keep the meatloaf from drying out.
- Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meatloaf mixture. This will help to bind the ingredients together and prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry and crumbly.
- Season the meatloaf generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or thyme.
- Use a loaf pan that is just large enough to hold the meatloaf mixture. If the pan is too large, the meatloaf will be too thin and may not cook evenly.
- Bake the meatloaf at a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from falling apart.
