All-American Meatloaf

September 24, 2018 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Yields6 Servings
Total Time1 hr 50 mins
 1 tbsp vegetable oil
 1 onion, chopped fine
 3 garlic cloves, minced
 ½ tsp dried thyme
 1 cup ketchup
 ½ cup packed light brown sugar
 8 tsp cider vinegar
 2 large eggs
 ½ cup milk
 2 tsp Dijon mustard
 2 tsp Worcestershire
 1 tsp salt
 ½ tsp pepper
 ¼ tsp Tabasco
 2 lbs meatloaf mix (equal parts beef, pork & veal - or else do 50/50 beef & pork)
 ⅔ cup crushed saltines (about 17 crackers)
 ⅓ cup minced fresh parsley
1

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in 8‑inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and cook until softened, about five minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.

2

Meanwhile, mix together the ketchup, vinegar and brown sugar. Set aside half to serve with meatloaf at table, and half to use in baking the meatloaf. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, milk, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, pepper and Tabasco together.

3

Mix the meatloaf mix, crackers, parsley, sautéed onion mixture, and egg mixture until evenly blended and the mixture doesn't stick to the bowl. Add milk if it sticks.

4

Turn the meat mixture onto a foil-lined baking sheet and shape into a 9 x 5" loaf. Brush with half of "baking" ketchup mixture. Bake the loaf for 45 minutes.

5

Brush the loaf with the remaining "baking" ketchup mixture and continue to bake until the center of the loaf measures 160 degrees, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes before slicing & serving.
