Equipment
- medium skillet
- Disposable Food Prep Gloves optional
Ingredients
- 2 Pounds Ground Beef could substitute ground turkey for a lower calorie dish
- olive oil
- 1 cup onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ cup bread crumbs
- 1 8 oz can tomato sauce
Glaze
- ½ cup tomato ketchup
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or 2 teaspoons for not as sweet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Sauté the onions in olive oil until caramelized, add minced garlic, sauté for 1 additional minute.
- Remove the onion mixture from heat, add Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper and allow to cool to room temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground ground beef, eggs, bread crumbs, tomato sauce and the cooled onion mixture.
- Use your hands to mix the simple meatloaf mixture very well. Since this is raw meat you might wish to use disposable food prep gloves for this.
- Spray a bread loaf pan with cooking spray and press the meatloaf mixture into the loaf pan, press down well to shape. Only use the bread loaf pan as a mold but not for baking.
- Place parchment paper on a large baking sheet. Carefully turn loaf pan upside down onto the parchment lined baking sheet to remove meatloaf. Finish shaping the meat loaf by hand. This step will prevent a soggy meatloaf since it will be baked on the baking sheet.
- Mix the meatloaf glaze ingredients,( ketchup, vinegar and brown sugar) in a small bowl. Combine well.
- Pour a little over half of the glaze mixture on the entire meatloaf saving the rest for later. Spread with the back of a spoon until its evenly dispersed. Place in preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes until juices run clear and the center temperature is 160 degrees F.
- During the last 10 minutes of baking, brush the remaining glaze mixture on the top of the meatloaf. Remove from oven and slice to serve.
