Ethan's Hungry Man's Cast Iron Meatloaf

Step 1
Place a large cast iron skillet into the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2
Make the meatloaf mixture: Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, soup mix, 1/2 of the tomato sauce, eggs, onion, ketchup, cracker crumbs, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce, steak sauce, salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder in a large bowl; mix until well combined.

Step 3
Make the topping: Mix remaining tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl until is smooth.

Step 4
Remove the hot skillet from the oven. Press meatloaf mixture into skillet, smoothing the top. Spread topping over beef.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until beef is mostly cooked through, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove from oven and drain off grease. Return to the oven and continue cooking until meatloaf juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 1 more hour.

Step 6
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
