Meatloaf, all Fancy

Comfort food is something we really love here at The Buttered Home. We love to show you all kinds too. There is just nothing like a big old bowl of CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS or a big old serving of BREAD PUDDING WITH BOURBON CREAM.

I know for my generation, meat loaf was a staple in our homes. At times, as kids, we probably even got tired of it. I am here to tell you, this Momma B’s meatloaf will rekindle your love for this comfort food.

As you already may know, food stirs stuff up in me. It takes me back to being a kid. Any adult will tell you, there are days I long to be back in the safety of my Momma’s arms. Not a care in the world and be a kid again. Nostalgia. Food. Is. Nostalgic. Why not make some nostalgia for your kids? This meatloaf takes all the good traditional ingredients and amps it up a bit. It’s easy and sooooo flavorful.

How to Make It

This recipe for meatloaf really isn't all that different than the one your Mom used to make. We have just taken the normal ingredients and jazzed them up with some additional things to make it a little different but really, really good.

~Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds lean ground beef - You can substitute Ground Turkey here too.
• ¼ cup onion, chopped fine - a staple meat loaf ingredient.
• 1 cup of day old bread, cubed - a little more texture and flavor than standard bread crumbs.
• 1 tablespoon Ketchup - to keep with tradition.
• 1 tablespoon prepared mustard - for a little something different.
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire - saltiness and a deep flavor.
• 1 egg - to bind the meatloaf

~For the Sauce

• 1 tablespoon prepared mustard - For the Sauce to keep with tradition.
• 1 tablespoon ketchup - this time for the sauce as well.
• 1 tablespoon horseradish - a little bit of fancy zip.
• 1 tablespoon worchestershire - it always goes well with Beef.
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar - For sweetness.
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste - to add body to the sauce.
• 1 tablespoon honey - for the fanciness!

~Method

1.  Mix first 7 ingredients together and form a loaf. Put in a foil lined pan and cook at 375 degrees and cook for 20-30 minutes.
2. Mix mustard, second tablespoon of ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire, brown sugar, tomato paste and honey in a small bowl.
3. After the meatloaf has cooked about 20-30 minutes, pour the prepared sauce over the meatloaf and return to the oven for 15-20 more minutes.
4. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips and Tricks

This meatloaf is so good y’all. It takes all of the traditional ingredients and makes them so much more. Adding the bread for Breadcrumbs gives the texture what traditional meatloaf has been missing. The glaze, oh man, that glaze, I swear I hear angels singing when I taste it.
