YUMMY MEATLOAF



Yummy Meatloaf image

What makes this meatloaf so good is how you cook it! It's very important to cook this in a baking dish rather than a loaf pan. The grease will drain from the meatloaf this way, and it will be firmer and taste better.

SWEET YUMMY MEATLOAF



Sweet Yummy Meatloaf image

My best friend gave me this recipe the last time I came to visit. It has completely replaced MY meatloaf recipe!! Its sweet and moist and SO Yummy!!

Provided by Beth Colon @bethcolon

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pound(s) hamburger
1 - egg, beaten
1 - sleeve ritz crackers
1/2 cup(s) or less of milk, to moisten
1/4 cup(s) catalina dressing
- salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup(s) lite brown sugar, divided in half
1/2 cup(s) ketchup
1/2 - onion, diced
1/4 cup(s) crumbled, cooked bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375*
  • Mix the hamburger, egg, onion, crumbled bacon,crushed Ritz crackers, salt and pepper, salad dressing, 1/4 c. of the brown sugar and milk together in large bowl.
  • Arrange meatloaf in pan of choice. *NOTE: I use a large glass baking dish and arrange it in an "O" shape. That way it doesn't take the middle so long to cook.
  • Mix ketchup and the remaining 1/4 c. of brown sugar and "glaze" the top of the meatloaf.
  • Bake for 45-1 hour. Meatloaf is done when the inside is no longer pink, and has an internal temp of 160*
  • *NOTE: I don't usually measure things so the amounts are approximate. If something seems a little off, please feel free to adjust it. If it's too sweet for your liking omit the brown sugar inside the meatloaf

Tips:

  • Use a mixture of ground meats. This will give your meatloaf a more complex flavor and texture. Ground beef, pork, and veal are all good options.
  • Add some vegetables to the mix. This will help to lighten up the meatloaf and add some extra nutrients. Grated carrots, bell peppers, and onions are all good choices.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and add some extra flavor. Ketchup, barbecue sauce, and Worcestershire sauce are all good options.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature. This will help to prevent it from drying out. 350 degrees Fahrenheit is a good target temperature.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help to keep the juices from running out.

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 your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give meatloaf a try.
