Remarkably Good Meatloaf

Jump to Comments

I know sometimes people laugh or gag at the thought of meatloaf (or they think of the singer Meat Loaf whom some people like and other people detest), but meatloaf the dish can actually be a pretty decent meal.  The key is to have an incredible topping.

Meatloaf

1 – 1.5 pounds of ground beef or ground turkey

1 clove garlic

1 small onion, minced

1 cup bread crumbs (I usually use 3 slices of whole wheat bread)

¼ cup milk

1 egg

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon celery salt

½ teaspoon dry mustard

½ teaspoon pepper

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

½ cup tomato sauce (use more for a moister meatloaf or less if you like it drier)

Meatloaf Topping

3 tablespoons brown sugar

¼ cup ketchup

1 teaspoon dry mustard

½ teaspoon nutmeg

Heat oven to 350.  In large bowl, beat egg slightly.  Mix in the remaining ingredients thoroughly.  Spread in a loaf pan or press into a sprayed 9×9 pan.  Bake one hour until done.  Halfway through cooking, add the topping.

Enjoy!
