Momma's Meatloaf
Description
Momma's Meatloaf starts with ground beef mixed with diced onion, plain bread crumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and a blend of spices including basil, oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. The mixture is kneaded thoroughly to combine and then formed into a loaf shape placed in a greased baking dish. After an initial 45 minutes of baking at 350°F, a glaze made from ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce is brushed over the top. The meatloaf is returned to the oven at a higher temperature of 400°F for an additional 15 minutes to set the glaze and cook through to a safe internal temperature.
This preparation results in a sliceable meatloaf with a moist interior and a flavorful, slightly sweet crust from the glaze. The seasonings provide balanced herbaceous and mildly spicy notes without overpowering the beef.
Serve slices hot as a main dish alongside vegetables, mashed potatoes, or bread. The recipe uses common pantry ingredients and straightforward techniques suitable for a familiar, comforting meal.
