Mom's Classic Meatloaf
Description
Mom's Classic Meatloaf starts with a mix of ground beef, quick oats, milk, egg, diced onions, and seasoning, which bind together to form a compact yet tender loaf. The oats absorb moisture, preventing dryness, while the egg and milk help hold the meat mixture together for a consistent texture. The meat mixture is pressed into a loaf pan for even shaping.
A glaze made from ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard is poured over the top before baking. This combination caramelizes in the oven, creating a flavorful crust that contrasts the softer interior. The meatloaf is baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour and fifteen minutes, then rested before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
This meatloaf pairs well with classic sides like mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. It is a straightforward dish that relies on accessible ingredients and a balanced cooking method to deliver a satisfying, home-style meal.
