I've been making this recipe for several years. Always a favorite at my house! Great reheated for another meal or sandwich... Ingredients:
1/4 cup ketchup |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
2 teaspoons vinegar (any type) |
1 lb ground beef |
1 lb ground pork |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 medium onion (chopped) |
2 -3 garlic cloves (minced) |
2 large eggs |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce |
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce |
1/2 cup milk |
2/3 cup crushed saltine crackers (approx. 16) |
1/4-1/3 cup dry parsley flakes |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Mix ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar in a small bowl (this will be used to top meat loaf as a glaze) Heat oil in a skillet adding onion and garlic; sauté until tender.
3. Mix eggs with salt, pepper, thyme, mustard, Worcestershire and milk; add to ground beef and pork in a large bowl along with crackers, parsley and cooked onion/garlic mixture.
4. Blend meat mixture until thoroughly mixed (if meat mixture sticks to side of the bowl add a slight amount more milk) Place mixture in a foil lined baking pan and shape into a loaf (approx 9x5 inches) Brush top with glaze mixture.
5. Bake for approx 1 hour (check for doneness) Let cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
6. NOTE: Try frying a couple of slices of the cold leftovers in a small amount of butter for a great hot sandwich!
