Welcome to our foodie blog, where you choose the menu. Each week, we will prepare a video tutorial showcasing a recipe of your choice. This week is Meatloaf Monday!
Why Monday? Because Mondays suck! Make a sucky Monday better with this secret (until now) family recipe.
You'll need:
1 standard size loaf pan
1 sheet of foil to line oven
2 lbs. ground beef
1 lb bottle of ketchup, divided into measurements of 1 1/2 cup and 1/2 cup
1 medium onion
3 slices of bread
1 egg
salt and pepper
1/2 cup brown sugar (for topping)
Mix all ingredients except for brown sugar and 1/2 cup of ketchup.
Pour and press into loaf pan.
"Frost" the meatloaf with a mixture of brown sugar and 1/2 cup ketchup
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hr and 45 to 50 minutes. At thirty minutes, drain grease for the first time. At one hour, drain grease a second time. When finished, drain grease a third time.
Allow to cool for 3 to 5 minutes so that the meatloaf has a chance to set. Slice and serve!
Love,
Mom
