AUNT LIBBY'S SOUTHERN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• 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 1/2 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 1/3 the sauce over meatloaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven, basting every 25 minutes with more sauce, until meatloaf is cooked through, 1 to 1 1/2 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.

SOUTHERN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Pre-heat the oven to 350 F.
• Grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan or line it with foil and then lightly grease it. Alternatively, for a free-form loaf, line a rimmed baking pan with foil.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the crushed saltines, onion, green pepper, egg, paprika, garlic powder, salt, thyme, black pepper, 1/3 cup of ketchup , milk, and Worcestershire sauce .
• Pack the meat mixture into the loaf pan or shape it and place it on the baking pan.
• Bake the meatloaf for 1 hour. Carefully pour excess grease into a can or jar (dispose of it in the trash after it cools).
• Spread the meatloaf with 1/2 to 3/4 cup of ketchup or barbecue sauce and continue baking for 15 minutes longer, or until the meatloaf registers at least 160 F on an instant-read food thermometer inserted into the center. (If you have instead swapped ground turkey or chicken for the beef, cook the loaf to an internal temperature of 165 F.)
• Let the meatloaf rest for ten minutes before slicing so it holds together well. Then, serve and enjoy!

GRANDMA BARB'S MEATLOAF RECIPE (THE BEST MEATLOAF)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet.
• Add onions, peppers and celery and saute until tender.
• Add garlic and cook just until fragrant.
• Remove from heat and let cool. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, add breadcrumbs and just enough milk to moisten the crumbs.
• Add remaining ingredients, except for the beef.
• Mix these ingredients well.
• Add the beef. Use your hands to mix it in. Don't be alarmed if the mixture seems a bit too wet at first. Handle the beef as little and as gently as possible to prevent it from becoming tough when baked. Mix JUST until everything is combined.
• Optional: Fry a tiny piece of the mixture to check the taste and adjust the seasonings if desired.
• When all of the ingredients are well combined, spoon the mixture into a loaf pan and smooth to an even layer. Set aside.
• To make the glaze, combine all glaze ingredients and spread half on top of meatloaf.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes and then top with remaining glaze. ( you don't have to use all of the glaze. You can save some to use when serving the meatloaf of desired)
• Continue baking for another 30-35 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160 F. or to your desired (safe) doneness. ( I like to flip the oven to broil for the last few minutes to get the glaze a bit sticky but watch it carefully if you decide to do this)
• Remove from oven, drain off the fat and let meatloaf rest before slicing. (If meatloaf is steaming hot when you cut into it, it will fall apart)
