Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
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.
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.
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
