Servings: 4-6 Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 1 hr Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
Ingredients
• 2 lb ground beef, 85% lean • 1 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs (or stuffing mix, like Pepperidge Farm) • 3/4 cup yellow onion, diced • 1/2 cup celery, diced • 3 large cloves garlic, crushed, minced • 2 eggs, beaten • 1/2 cup worcestershire sauce, original • 1 tsp salt • 1 tsp black pepper, fresh cracked • 1/3 cup milk, whole • 1 TBSP vegetable oil (for sautéing)
Glaze • 3/4 cup ketchup • 1/2 cup brown sugar • 2 TBSP worcestershire sauce, original • 1 TBSP distilled white vinegar
Directions
Combine all ingredients for glaze. Mix well.
Adjust oven rack to lower middle position. Preheat oven to 350° F.
Using 1 TBSP oil, brown the onion, garlic, and celery in a sauté pan on medium high heat, stirring occassionally, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for the meatloaf, including the browned onion-garlic-celery mix, and add 1/3 cup of the pre-mixed glaze. Mix quickly just to combine. Don't overwork the mixture or you'll get a compact loaf.
Loosely form the mixture into a loaf-like shape and lightly press into a 9x5 loaf pan. Spread the remaining glaze evenly on top of meatloaf. Bake at 350° F for 1 hour.
Optional: To brown the glaze, switch the oven to broil for 2 minutes. This part may get a little smoky. Make sure you have your fan turned on high. Or you may skip this step.
Serve meatloaf hot. Goes great with mashed potatoes, peas and carrots. Enjoy!
