Meatloaf Recipe for Two

https://aweekendcook.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Moms-Meatloaf--150x150.jpg
A tender, classic 1-pound meatloaf that’s easy to mix, bakes hands-off, and makes the perfect amount for one or two servings. A simple ketchup-Worcestershire glaze adds great flavor.

Prep Time10 minutes mins
Cook Time1 hour hr
Total Time1 hour hr 10 minutes mins
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground beef
  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ Onions diced
  • ½ cup Bread Crumbs
  • ½ cup Ketchup divided
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire divided
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Optional: Garlic Powder
  • Optional: Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  • In a small bowl mix together 1/4 cup of the ketchup and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, mix together and set aside for later basting.
  • Throw 1 pound of ground beef 80/20 fat content into a big bowl. Break up into chunks and salt and pepper.  Just give the salt shaker a couple of good shakes, and a little more with the pepper.  If you like garlic shake in a bit of garlic powder, NOT garlic salt.
  • Dice up ½ a medium onion and toss into the bowl.
  • Squirt in ketchup, probably about ¼ cup to start.
  • Shake in Worcestershire sauce until it just smells right, about 1 tablespoon. It’s a personal preference with the amount. If you really have no idea how much to use then give the bottle a couple of good shakes to start.
  • In a small bowl, lightly beat two eggs and mix into the ground beef mixture
  • Pour in a ½ cup of plain bread crumbs.
  • Use a wooden spoon to get everything mixed up nicely. Compress into a big ball.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and plop the meatloaf onto the lined baking sheet and mold the meatloaf into a rectangle.
  • Put the meatloaf into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes then baste with the ketchup Worcestershire sauce. Continue cooking for a total of 60 minutes.  Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees to ensure it’s fully cooked.
  • I like a little crispy to the sides so I broil at the end for a couple of minutes. Watch it so you don’t burn the top.

Notes

  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Cold meatloaf makes tasty sandwiches. Yum!
  • Use fattier ground beef, an 80/20 is perfect.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes.

Add sugar to dissolve. Let cool (I put mine in the freezer for about 15 minutes--worked just fine to cool it down).  Once it is cool, add the olive oil, balsamic glaze (optional), and dressing mix.  Shake well and refrigerate for about an hour before serving. Gail's Notes:  This is my version of Zia's Sweet Italian Dressing that I just made and it is absolutely WONDERFUL!!!
