Sweet and Tangy Meatloaf


I am a big meatloaf fan and I love how it is easy to put all of the ingredients into a bowl, shape it into a loaf, throw it into the oven and voila, you get a meatloaf.  




  • Here is my favorite recipe that I make that is both sweet and tangy.  
  • Sweet and Tangy Meatloaf
  • Serves 4 to 6
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs

  • Glaze:
  • 1tbs Dijon mustard
  • 1tbs Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup ketchup

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Mix all ingredients for the meatloaf into a bowl.  Shape into a large loaf and place onto a baking sheet or in a glass baking dish.   Top with the the glaze.  I save some of the glaze to dip my meatloaf in afterwards because I love it so much (I'm a girl that likes sauces with everything).   I do not like to put it into a loaf pan because as the the meatloaf cooks, it sits in its own grease.  On a baking sheet/dish, it has a chance for the fat to drain to the sides a bit more.  Bake for 40-45 minutes.  I do shape my loaf to be wide and therefore, shorter so the the cooking time will vary based on how thick your loaf is.  If it's a traditional loaf pan size, I would cook it for a hour.  Once it is done, let it rest for 10 minutes and then slice and enjoy!  Last night, we served it with mashed potatoes and sauteed zucchini from the farmer's market.
