SUSAN'S SWEET AND TANGY MEATLOAF



Susan's Sweet and Tangy Meatloaf image

I snagged the basic recipe for this from AllRecipes.com but have changed it a great deal to suit my family's tastes. My husband is not a fan of meatloaf but BEGS for this one, as do my 2 and 4 year old. It's super easy and can be made early in the day and then just spread the sauce on top and bake. It's sweet, tangy and a bit spicy! I bet everyone will ask for seconds!

SWEET AND TANGY MEATLOAF RECIPE



Sweet and Tangy Meatloaf Recipe image

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef
1 cup plain bread crumbs
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup apricot preserves
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup apricot preserves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, brown sugar and apricot preserves.
  • Place in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • Cook for 40-50 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl combine ketchup, brown sugar and apricot preserves. Remove meatloaf from oven after it has cooked, spread on glaze and cook for an additional 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground meats: This will give your meatloaf a more complex flavor and texture. Ground beef, pork, and veal are all good options.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is the right size: A loaf pan that is too big will make the meatloaf too thin, and a loaf pan that is too small will make the meatloaf too thick. A 9x5-inch loaf pan is a good size for a standard meatloaf recipe.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a moderate temperature: This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out. A temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal.
  • Baste the meatloaf with the glaze during the last 15 minutes of cooking: This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing: This will help the meatloaf to hold together better.

Conclusion:

Tangy glazed meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful tangy glazed meatloaf that your whole family will love.
