      I followed my mom’s recipe but it never could figure out why it didn’t taste exactly like hers. I would make it in a Pyrex dish. Mom always used a hideous metal pan that was black with use. Then I broke my Pyrex dish and made in a shallow aluminum pan and voila! It was exactly like mom’s

    My mom used to make the juiciest meatloaf, meatballs & stuffed peppers. I never bothered to learn it until I was older but then it was too late. My mom has dementia and she has forgotten so many of her amazing recipes. I wish I took the time when I was younger. I'm so very grateful though to have her with me.

      My mom also made meatloaf, it was one of my favorite meals. I also didn’t learn how to make it and nobody else in my family knew how she made it. She passed away when I was in my 20’s, I’m now in my 60’s and I’m still trying to figure out how she made it.😢

    My maternal grandmother and my mother made the best meatloaf, of course they would add honey to the ketchup mixture and then while it was baking they would brush the glaze on at certain points of the 350° in the oven at approximately 35 to 45 minutes, it added extra crunch to the glaze and I always requested the end pieces.
    Thank you for the memory.

    Before baking, you can coat the inside of the loaf pan with garlic and rosemary butter. Melt some butter, mix in minced garlic and finely chopped rosemary, let it cool and harden in the fridge, coat the inside of the pan, then add the loaf and bake. The meat will cook in the butter and give it a huge boost of flavor, also making it less likely to stick to the inside while baking.

    My mom always used ground beef and ground sausage, crushed cracker crumbs, diced onion, sweet pickle relish, egg, Worcestershire, salt /pepper and for the top, tomato paste (I use ketchup). She used a baking pan with a trivet under the meatloaf so it wouldn't burn and just free formed the loaf (I use a meatloaf pan so the grease drains away. It was not dry, just delicious. Again it was made with love. One thing I add sometimes is about ¼-½ cup of shredded mozzarella.
    In the 50's hamburger was more fatty than today so a lot of grease was rendered. Some people even placed their meatloaf on bread slices while baking to soak up the grease.

    For the topping, I use a can of condensed tomato soup and stir in a heaping tablespoon of brown sugar. Pour on top of the meatloaf before baking. It makes a delicious gravy.
    In addition to adding ketchup to the meat mixture (plus everything else you added), I add a teaspoon of yellow mustard. My mom used 4-5 slices of bread torn up into small pieces, but I prefer using bread crumbs.
    I have also made “mini meatloaves” in a covered large skillet on the stovetop for something different.

    The meatloaf I was handed down was: Ground 80/20, diced onions, s&p, oatmeal, milk, egg, ketchup, onion powder, garlic salt, sometimes a little garlic & Worcestershire sauce. Combing everything but the beef. Then add the beef & mix well. Put in loaf pan. Cover in ketchup, bake 350 for 60 min , add a bit more ketchup and bake 5 additional minutes. Cut and serve. Comes out delicious every time.

    We once had a Greek friend who had never eaten meatloaf until he ate some that I had made and fell in love with it. He sprinked feta cheese over it and that really jazzed up the flavor. Also, he loved our Manwhich Sloppy Joes and of course, added feta cheese to it. Feta is a cheese that enhances flavors of certain foods. He even put feta cheese on watermelon.

    I love a good meatloaf. I usually use a catch-up glaze but once in a while I’ve used a good BBQ sauce especially of making it during the summer months to add a little extra flavor. I normally use Panko breadcrumbs but when I was growing up my grandma always used whole oatmeal as the binder since that was easy to get at the food banks and that was really yummy.

    • @6901dashpoint

      I agree with the bbq sauce buddy. My wife was building a meatloaf and found out she had no ketchup. Me (being the lazy guy I am) didn't want to drive to the store so I told her to use something else. After a quick look in the fridge, I found some Jack Daniels bbq sauce. She was a little hesitant to use it but after that one time, it was the "go to" topping for the meatloaf from that time on. The best! 😋

    I like the recipe. I agree ketchup is not only an awesome condiment, its also an ingredient.
    I believe breadcrumb or panko acts more as a filler and softener as opposed to a binding agent... Ground beef will hold together but without bread crumbs or panko, it will have a very firm texture.
    Love the recipe.

    I usually use 1lb ground beef, 1/2c-1c regular breadcrumbs, 1/2c-1c instant oats, up to 3 eggs, some Worcestershire sauce and optional soy sauce (a splash), some adobo seasoning or salt & pepper, either onion powder or one small chopped and sautéed onion, optional garlic powder, and either ketchup or jarred beef gravy (my husband doesn’t like it made with ketchup). The gravy works just like the ketchup does, in the dish as well as the glaze. Also, I grew up with my mom finely grating most of a standard size carrot into it, and even finely chopping up some celery and adding that as well. If you need a way to sneak some extra veggies in there, you can’t really tell. It does add a bit of flavor and moisture. I always loved my mom’s meatloaf growing up.

    This is similar to my recipe, but I find it's much easier to get the ingredients mixed really well if I first mix all of the ingredients together that I add to the ground beef and then add the ground beef to it. This also helps ensure that I don't overwork the ground beef, which can give it an unpleasant texture. I do it this way with meatballs, too.
