Meatloaf is the quintessential comfort food, beloved for its hearty flavors and satisfying simplicity. This traditional dish, often passed down through family recipes, is a staple of home cooking. A well-made meatloaf is tender and juicy on the inside with a caramelized glaze on the outside, making it a perfect centerpiece for a family dinner or a cozy meal on a chilly evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meatloaf Recipe:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prep Time:<\/strong> 15 minutes Cook Time:<\/strong> 1 hour Total Time:<\/strong> 1 hour 15 minutes Yield:<\/strong> 6 servings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 1 1\/2 pounds ground beef (85% lean)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1\/2 cup bread crumbs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 onion, finely chopped<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 egg, beaten<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 cup milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1\/2 teaspoon ground black pepper<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1\/2 teaspoon dried thyme<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1\/2 cup ketchup<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Instructions:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and thyme. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatloaf tough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a lightly greased loaf pan or shape it on a baking sheet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to make the glaze. Spread half of this mixture over the meatloaf.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through (an internal temperature of 160\u00b0F or 70\u00b0C).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    7. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes slicing easier.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Meatloaf is more than just a meal; it’s a reminder of home, of family gatherings, and of the simple pleasures of life. It pairs beautifully with sides like mashed potatoes and green beans, and the leftovers make for excellent sandwiches the next day. Enjoy this classic, which has endured through generations for the comfort and joy it brings to the dinner table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
