Comfort Food at it's best
This is the best meatloaf recipe I've tasted. Tweeked, changed, substituted and fine tuned for years this is it. Simple, economical and can feed the whole family.....Strangely enough, we tend to search for a secret ingredient or ingredients to make a top notch dish; but as this Meatloaf shows, sometimes the simplest recipes are truly amazing.
Recipe makes (2) 8x4 Loaf Pans
FOR LOAF
3 Lb. 80/20 Ground Beef
6 Eggs (lightly beaten)
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Pepper
2/3 Cup Salsa (Mild)
1/3 Cup Heinz Ketchup (LINK PROVIDED)
***** 1 1/4 Cups Breadcrumbs
FOR LOAF TOPPING
1/2 Cup Heinz Ketchup
4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
2 Teaspoons Dry Mustard
Upstate Sc Grub Hub Meatloaf technique :
****** You can use any breadcrumb mix you like, however, using a 1 Cup homemade white breadcrumb (chopped or pulled pretty fine) and 1/4 Cup cornbread (not sweet) mixture is highly recommended.
Put Ground Beef in large bowl, add salt and Pepper. Add the rest of Loaf ingredients, mix well with hands using gloves. For the best flavor really work the mix with your hands and fingers. Mixture will have a jello-like consistency, almost wet. Press mix into loaf pans.
If you have the time....wrap the pans and let them sit in the refrigerator for an hour or two to let all of the flavors come together. However, it will still be okay if you don't do this.
Bake at 300* (convection) or 350* (conventional) for 70 minutes. Drain off some of the fat (be careful).
In small bowl combine topping ingredients (Heinz Ketchup, brown sugar and dry mustard). Mix well, spread generously over meat.
Bake for another 12 - 15 minutes..
Cool at room temperature. Refrigerate.
