Everyday Meatloaf Recipe - Food.com image

My sons loved meat loaf growing up. While all 3 were teenagers at home I would often double or triple this recipe for one meal. Even the one that hates onions loves this recipe. This recipe is from my mom's Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook (1954).

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 cup milk
1 1/2 lbs ground chuck
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup catsup
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon dry mustard

Steps:

  • Soak bread crumbs in milk.
  • Add beaten eggs, seasonings, onion (process in food processor to puree for picky eaters).
  • Mix together well.
  • With hands, gently add ground chuck and mix together lightly.
  • Place in loaf pan sprayed with PAM.
  • Bake in 350º oven 45-50 minutes.
  • Prepare topping in small bowl.
  • Pour over meat loaf during last 15 minutes of baking time.
  • *The more you handle the ground beef during the making of meat loaf the tougher it becomes.
  • **Edited - For different texture and taste sautee onion in a bit (1 Tablespoon +/-) of butter. Add 1/2 cup grated carrots (sautee with the onions) for a little extra punch of color and flavor.
