Juicy Meatloaf

madddawg · March 3, 2014

I made this last night and it was the bomb!. Feel free to alternate it to your own cooking styles. I didn't exactly measure the milk, brown sugar and Pasta sauce. but its pretty close
2 Lbs of 85 /15 ground beef (I actually had 2.25 lbs)
2 eggs
1/2 cup of milk
1 cup of light brown sugar
1 pint of pasta sauce ( I used homemade pasta sauce from last year, Ms wages Pasta seasoning)
1/2 tube of buttery round crackers( I actually used wheat but ether or)
1 TBLS of Cumin
1 TBLS Seasoned salt
1 TBLS Paprika
5 TBLS of minced onion

In 1 bowl crush the crackers as much as possible and mix in Cumin, Seasoned Salt, Minced Onion and Paprika.
in another bowl, a big one mix eggs and milk up then mix in 3/4 s of the pasta sauce.
Then mix in the meat and the cracker mix. Mix thoroughly
I hope you got a meatloaf pan for it to drain if not a regular pan will work.
Form meat into a loaf (hence Meatloaf) In the pan and then take the brown sugar and pat it on top.
I cooked mine on the gas grill over medium to high heat until I got an internal temp of 170. but at 160 I dumped the rest of the pasta sauce over it.
In the oven I'm guessing 350 for an hour?

Anyway Give it a try, We thought it was the best!

That's actually not too much different than my Mom's meatloaf. Main difference is she never uses sugar. But the rest is pretty much the same. And very good too.

One other thing. You may want to cook this in a disposable pan. When Iwent to clean up the pan the next day, It wasn't easy. Burnt brown sugar = no fun. Might be different If I cleaned it hot. I dont know..

Try using a Pyrex dish meatloaf pan, cleanup is a cinch !!

I have several of the Wilton pans that are non stick
You can get them at Walmart and at another store where I live.

Here is a good meatloaf pan.
For the sugar you are just going to have to let it soak in hot water for a while.
My bread just falls out of this stuff.

Parchment paper is wonderful. No cleanup. Just toss it in the trash and wipe out your pan.

Parchment paper. It's awesome! Don't use wax paper, though.
