Tennessee Meatloaf image

My Grandmother 'Nanaw' Rowan made the most delicious meatloaf in the state. When she passed away, she didn't leave me her recipe, but she left me the desire to recreate it. I think this is it, in flavor and texture. Don't let the number of ingredients discourage you. It's part of the magic in creating a masterpiece!

Time 1h55m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 19

½ cup ketchup
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
cooking spray
1 onion, chopped
½ green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
½ cup milk
⅔ cup quick cooking oats
1 pound ground beef
½ pound ground pork
½ pound ground veal

Steps:

  • Combine ketchup, brown sugar, and cider vinegar in a bowl; mix well.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two 9x5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray or line with aluminum foil for easier cleanup (see Cook's Note).
  • Place onion and green pepper in covered microwave container and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • In large mixing bowl, combine garlic, eggs, thyme, seasoned salt, black pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, milk, and oats. Mix well. Stir in cooked onion and green pepper. Add ground beef, pork, and veal. With gloved hands, work all ingredients together until completely mixed and uniform.
  • Divide meatloaf mixture in half and pat half of mixture into each prepared loaf pan. Brush loaves with half of the glaze; set remainder of glaze aside.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes. Remove pans from oven; carefully drain fat. Brush loaves with remaining glaze. Return to oven and bake for 10 minutes more. Remove pans from oven and allow meatloaf to stand for 15 minutes before slicing.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my meatloaf turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure why it didn't turn out.

Overall, I thought this meatloaf was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This meatloaf was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more moisture next time, maybe by using a different type of ground beef or adding some vegetables.

I was a bit skeptical about the ketchup and brown sugar glaze, but it really worked! The meatloaf was moist and flavorful, and the glaze added a nice sweetness and tang.
