Tasty Easy Meatloaf
Description
The Tasty Easy Meatloaf blends 1 lb of ground beef with half a pound of breakfast sausage, which adds a spicy, savory element to the dish. Breadcrumbs and diced onion provide structure and mild sweetness, while the combination of salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder seasons the meat. The tomato sauce mixture includes cider vinegar, brown sugar, whole grain mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, creating a balanced glaze that imparts tangy and slightly sweet notes.
Formed into a loaf in an ovenproof pan and baked at 350°F for about an hour, the meatloaf is basted regularly with the glaze to keep it moist and develop a flavorful crust. Letting it rest after baking helps finish cooking and makes slicing easier. This meatloaf works well plated with mashed potatoes or vegetables as a filling comfort food main.
