Classic Meatloaf

 

INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs FFF Ground Beef
1 Onion, finely chopped
3 Garlic cloves, minced
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup Breadcrumbs
3 Tablespoons Ketchup
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper
1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
Fresh chopped Parsley for garnish

INGREDIENTS FOR GLAZE:
1 Cup Ketchup
1 Tablespoons White Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper and salt
1 Tablespoon Tabasco (Optional)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Defrost the Ground Beef in the fridge overnight. Chop the Onions and Garlic, and Pre-heat the oven to 375ËšF
2. Saute the Onion and Garlic in a little bit of olive oil until soft, then set aside to cool.
3. Mix together the remaining ingredients (besides parsley) until well-combined, then mix in cooled veggies.
4. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and add meat, gently pressing down to shape evenly - bake meatloaf for 40 minutes.
5. In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients together for the sauce.
6. Remove the Meat Loaf from the oven and spread the sauce over the top, then return to the oven and bake an additional 15-20 minutes. 
7. Remove the Meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
8. Then slice, drizzle with baking juices from the pan, serve and Enjoy!

TIPS:
1. Add finely chopped vegetables during step 3 for some extra greens, (use a food processor to get them as small as possible).
2. Feel free to make it as spicy or mild as desired with Tabasco hot sauce in the glaze.
3. We love meatloaf best with buttered peas and carrots or some other kind of green vegetable.
