Sunday Meatloaf

We love meatloaf. It's such a homey, warm, comfort food. It makes the perfect Sunday meal. There are so many variations to meatloaf. This one is basic, but not lacking flavor. Serve with homemade mashed potatoes and a green vegetable, such as peas, green beans, or Brussels sprouts. The best part of this meal? The people you spend it with.

Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
• ¼ cup Italian-style bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon granulated onion
• 2 tablespoons steak sauce (such as A.1.®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix ground beef, mayonnaise, bread crumbs, mustard, onion, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until well combined. Transfer mixture to a 9x5-inch loaf pan with high sides. Form into a loaf by picking it up and forcing it down into the pan, making sure to knock out any air and square off all sides.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Spin pan and bake for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 4

Mix steak sauce, ketchup, and sugar together in a small bowl.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and spoon sauce over top. Bake until no longer pink in the center, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Step 6

Remove form the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove meat loaf to a serving platter and slice into 8 slices.
