Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. 2

    Combine all ingredients except for the last 3 in a bowl (suggest starting with milk and eggs beaten together, next add spices and Worcestershire sauce beat again, and finally add meat and bread crumbs) and mix together with your hands - yes, it really is easier that way.

  3. 3

    Shape into a loaf form. Help loaf former tips: 1" high is recommended thickness and think rectangle shape when shaping. Once formed place on a foil lined baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Whisk together the final 3 ingredients and spoon over the top of the meatloaf prior to baking.

  5. 5

    Bake in a preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees, about 65-70 minutes. Enjoy!

  6. 6

    Meatloaf volcano: I got my kids into eating meatloaf by creating meatloaf volcanoes. As the meatloaf bakes prepare mashed potatoes, steamed peas, and brown gravy (store packaged works just fine). When all items are ready, take a plate, line with mashed potatoes, then 2-3 slices of meatloaf on top of the potato bed, pour a large spoon of peas over the top of that and then ladell generous amounts of brown gravy over the entire stack. This is a crowd pleaser for all ages.

  7. 7

    Leftover meatloaf? This recipe makes for stellar meatloaf sandwiches the next day, shoot my kids almost like that more than the dinner option.
