This classic meatloaf recipe is the absolute best you'll find. It's loaded with flavor, very easy to prepare, and the sauce is delicious. Meatloaf is a fabulous candidate for freezing, both before and after baking. Meatloaf obviously requires some extra ingredients to give it tons of flavor and to keep it moist and tender, as well.

Ingredients

Meatloaf

1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
16 saltine crackers( crushed)
1/2 pound ground veal
1/2 pound ground pork
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. dijon mustard
2 eggs
2 cloves garlic(minced)
1 medium onion(finely diced)
2 tsp. vegetable oil

Glaze

4 tsp. cider vinegar
4 tbsp. light brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup

Method

01

Make the Glaze: In a small saucepan, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar; set aside.
02

Make the Meatloaf: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool while preparing the remaining ingredients.
03

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, thyme, salt, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne and milk. Add the ground meats, crackers, parsley and cooked onion mixture; mix with a fork until evenly blended.
04

With wet hands, pat the mixture into a 9-by-5-inch loaf shape. Place on a foil-lined rimmed baking pan (you could also use a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a perforated bottom). Brush with half of the glaze.
05

Bake meatloaf until it is cooked through (it should register 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer), about 1 hour, brushing with the remaining glaze when there are 15 minutes left. Cool at least 20 minutes, then slice the meatloaf and serve.
