Mom's meatloaf

This comforting meatloaf is inspired by the recipe that my mom made when I was growing up. I've made a few adjustments to her recipe, but the spirit of her meatloaf lives on in each slice.

Ingredients:

Meatloaf
  • 1 12 pounds ground beef
  • 1 whole beaten egg
  • half of a finely chopped large onion
  • 34 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 12 cup ketchup
  • worchestershire sauce
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 12 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 cup chopped fresh parsley
Meatloaf glaze
  • 12 cup ketchup
  • 14 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 12 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions:

Combine all meatloaf (not meatloaf glaze) ingredients in a large bowl. Mix the meatloaf until everything is well combined. 

Place all mixed meatloaf ingredients on a parchment-lined sheetpan and, using your hands, shape into a bread loaf-shaped mass. Pack it fairly tight so that everything stays together. 

Pre-heat oven to 425°F (220°C) and then add your meatloaf to the oven and reduce the heat in the oven to 350°F (177°C). 

Set a timer for 15 minutes and start to make your glaze. 

Add all meatloaf glaze ingredients into a small saucepan over medium heat. When brown sugar has melted and all ingredients are combined, take your glaze off the heat. 

Pull the meatloaf out after 15 minutes and, with a brush or spoon, paint the glaze on top every 15 minutes or until an hour has passed. After an hour, or 1 hour and 15 minutes, the meatloaf should be done, but you can check with a thermometer if you have one. The interior of the meatloaf should be at 155°F (68°C) when you pull it out. Carry over heat will bring the meatloaf to a safe 160 degrees.
