How to Make 3Rd Serving Meatloaf
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the meatloaf: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup milk and 1 cup breadcrumbs. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly moistened. Add 2 lbs ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork), 2 large eggs, 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pack the meatloaf mixture tightly into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Prepare the sweet sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar.
- Pour the sweet sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). If the top starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
