Ingredients

Meatloaf

  • 2 lbs ground beef I prefer to use grass fed beef whenever possible
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 1 egg beaten
  • ¼ cup minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon sage
  • ¼ teaspoon celery salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic

Glaze

  • ¼ cup ketchup or tomato sauce I like this homemade ketchup best of all
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine all meatloaf ingredients in a bowl and then mix together with your hands - yes, it really is easier that way. Shape into a loaf form* and then place on a foil lined baking sheet.
  • Stir together the glaze ingredients and spoon over the top of the meatloaf prior to baking.
  • Bake in a preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees. I recommend using a thermometer to determine the cooking time initially. How long it needs to cook will be affected by the shape of the meatloaf.  Approximately 45 minutes.

Notes

* I like to shape mine relatively flat and oblong and it usually cooks in about 65-70 minutes. A more traditional 4x4x8 loaf will take about 90 minutes.
