Aunt Libby's Southern Meatloaf

Aunt Libby's Southern Meatloaf

This my 86-year-old Aunt Libby’s home-made meatloaf recipe. I finally had her write it down for me last year. You can be sure no one will tell you this meatloaf is dry!

Ingredients

Sauce

  • 1 ½ cups ketchup
  • ¼ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Meatloaf

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

Step 2
Mix beef, onion, 1 cup ketchup, bread crumbs, eggs, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Press beef mixture into a loaf in the prepared loaf pan.

Step 3
Mix 1 1/2 cups ketchup, water, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce together in a saucepan; cook and stir over medium heat until sauce is smooth and warm, about 10 minutes. Pour 1/3 the sauce over meatloaf.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven, basting every 25 minutes with more sauce, until meatloaf is cooked through, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.

Cook?s Note

If you need to use two meatloaf pans to make the meatloaf fit comfortably in the pan with room to spare, do so.My Aunt Libby's original recipe calls for 2 pounds of ground beef, but I usually use 1.3 to 1.5 pounds of meat for my small family of three and adjust the other ingredients accordingly. So one meatloaf pan is all I need.Try not to substitute ground beef with turkey and use a fattier 80% lean beef choice. True, it is not as healthy, but the taste is amazing!
