This homestyle meatloaf recipe is a comforting classic, enhanced with a tangy glaze for a delightful twist.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a blender, combine the eggs, onion, celery, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
Blending the vegetables ensures a smooth texture in the meatloaf.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, and the blended mixture. Mix gently by hand until just combined.
Overmixing can make the meatloaf dense, so mix just until combined.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared baking dish. Leave a small space around the edges for the glaze.
Shaping the loaf evenly ensures it cooks uniformly.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and vinegar. Spread this glaze evenly over the meatloaf.
For a thicker glaze, apply half before baking and the rest halfway through.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Using a meat thermometer ensures the meatloaf is cooked to a safe temperature.
Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meatloaf moist.
