Meatloaf with a Ranch Twist image

I wanted a different twist to my meatloaf, so I added a package of dry Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix. Instead of using ketchup for the sauce, I use V8 to add a different taste. Use the spicy if you want more of a kick to your sauce. My kids went back for seconds when normally I have to beg them to just eat meatloaf.

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup vegetable juice (such as V8®)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup Italian-seasoned dry bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
½ cup fat-free milk

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine the vegetable juice, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan over medium heat; cook until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, ranch dressing mix, sage, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Gradually sprinkle the bread crumbs into the meat while mixing so the crumbs are distributed evenly throughout; add the egg and milk and continue mixing. Shape the mixture into a loaf and transfer to a loaf pan. Pour about half the sauce over the meatloaf.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cut the meatloaf into 6 even slices. Pour the remaining sauce over the slices to serve.

This meatloaf was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more seasonings next time, like garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

I've made this meatloaf several times now and it's always a hit! It's so easy to make and always comes out perfectly. I love the way the ranch dressing mix gives it a tangy flavor.

This meatloaf was easy to make and tasted great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and it turned out just as well. I also added some chopped onion and garlic to the meatloaf mixture for extra flavor.

This meatloaf was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time, like some shredded vegetables or a can of tomato soup.
