This is a quick and easy Homestyle Meatloaf recipe that my dad used to make when we were kids. After he passed, I was going through a box of his things, and found an old notebook where he kept some of his favorite recipes. Inside was this gem of a recipe! While I am not sure if he came up with it himself or found it somewhere, I do know that it has always been a family favorite. Hopefully it will become a favorite of yours! 

Homestyle Meatloaf Recipe

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Baking Time: 1 Hour
Serves 5

Homestyle Meatloaf Recipe Ingredients

1/2 cup dry, unseasoned bread crumbs
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped bell pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry sage
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
3/4 cup milk

Glaze
3/4 cups ketchup
2 to 2 1/4 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon mustard or 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard

Homestyle Meatloaf Recipe Directions

1.  Preheat oven to 350˚.
2. Grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan (or whatever you have that works!)
3.  In a bowl, lightly beat the 2 eggs, then add the milk, bread crumbs, onion, bell pepper, salt, black pepper and sage. Lightly mix.


4.  Add meat a small amount at a time, gently working it in until thoroughly mixed.

5.  Press the meat mixture into the loaf pan, or if you do not have a loaf pan and are using another type pan, shape the meat into a loaf with your hands.


6.  Bake in the preheated oven until the meat is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 45 to 50 minutes.  A meat thermometer inserted in the middle of the loaf should read at least 160˚.


7.  While the meat loaf is cooking, mix the ketchup, brown sugar and mustard in a bowl stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.



8.  When loaf is done, pull from oven and spread the topping over the loaf.  Return to oven and bake until topping is set, about 10 more minutes.

Slice, serve with healthy sides and enjoy!
