Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour, 25 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup dark brown sugar, or use light
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon or Creole style mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder, divided
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 to 3/4 pound ground pork
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup soft ground bread crumbs (about 2 to 3 slices of bread)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation:

Lightly grease a 13- x 9-inch baking pan or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Heat oven to 350°.

In a large cup or small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of the chili powder. Mix until well blended.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and pork, chopped onion, bread crumbs, cheese, egg, salt, pepper, the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of chili powder, and 1/3 cup of the ketchup mixture.

Shape the meat mixture into a large loaf in the baking pan and make a long indention down the middle. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the ketchup mixture into the indention. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Brush the loaf generously with the remaining ketchup mixture and bake for 10 to 15 minutes longer.

Serves 8.

Second attempt at meatloaf ever, Member lonewolf77

Second recipe I've ever tried for meatloaf, first was the Easy Meatloaf recipe on this site, this came out SOOOOO much better. I cut the onions out because I can't stand them, threw in a teaspoon of onion powder to the meat mix instead, absolutely fantastic!
