Reviving this older topic to highlight a meatloaf recipe from CH poster, Querencia, that I finally got around to trying last night. Outstanding. As she said then " It’s the brown sugar & ketchup & nutmeg glaze."
Meatloaf Querencia
In a food processor or blender liquify a small onion and half a green pepper with an egg and a glop (MTT 2 T) of ketchup.
Mix that with a pound of ground beef, 1 tsp salt, and barely enough commercial bread crumbs (MTT ¼ C homemade crumbs) to hold the mixture together.
Form this into a loaf.
Now mix a little ketchup, just enough to moisten, with a little brown sugar (MTT - 1 ½ T of each) and ¼ tsp to 1/2 tsp (or a few shakes) nutmeg and smear this all over the outside of the meatloaf.
Bake at 350* about 45 - 55 minutes (MTT 55 min) or until done but not dried out (MTT160 degrees F on instant read thermometer) .
