Equipment
- 9×5-inch loaf pan
- mixing bowl
- Saucepan
Ingredients
Meatloaf
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 cup ketchup for the meatloaf
- 1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Sauce
- 1.5 cups ketchup
- 0.25 cup water
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix beef, onion, 1 cup ketchup, bread crumbs, eggs, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Press beef mixture into a loaf in the prepared loaf pan.
- Mix 1 ½ cups ketchup, water, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce together in a saucepan; cook and stir over medium heat until sauce is smooth and warm, about 10 minutes. Pour ⅓ the sauce over meatloaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven, basting every 25 minutes with more sauce, until meatloaf is cooked through, 1 to 1 ½ hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
If using a smaller amount of meat, adjust the other ingredients accordingly. For the best flavor, use 80% lean ground beef instead of turkey.
