Meatloaf Recipe
Every time, my grandma's BEST simple meatloaf recipe—which calls for ground beef, oats, powdered milk, and a sweet ketchup glaze—yields moist, tender slices.
Yield: 6
Materials
- 1 ½ pounds 85% lean ground beef
- 1 cup minced yellow onion about ½ medium onion
- 1 15 ounce can crushed tomatoes
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- ⅓ cup powdered milk
- 3 cloves garlic pressed or minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Instructions
- Set oven temperature to 350°F.
- The ground beef, onion, tomatoes, oats, powdered milk, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper should all be gently combined in a big basin using your hands. Avoid over-blending the components.
- Place the beef mixture in a heap on a rimmed baking sheet or in a 9 × 13 baking dish. Shape the meat into a rectangle loaf measuring 9 × 5 inches.
- Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, and red wine vinegar in a small bowl and stir until well combined. Evenly cover the top of the loaf with glaze.
- The meatloaf should be baked for one hour, or until the center reaches 160°F. After giving the meatloaf ten minutes to rest, cut it into thick slices and serve.
