Meatloaf Recipe ⊷ Aunt Libby's Southern Meatloaf

This my 86-year-old Aunt Libby's home-made meatloaf recipe. I finally had her write it down for me last year. You can be sure no one will tell you this meatloaf is dry!

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 eggs
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 ½ cups ketchup
• ¼ cup water
• 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
