Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350

° (for glass or dark roasting pan). Add 25 degrees if you are using a colored pan.

In a large bowl add beef, bread crumbs and milk. Pouring milk directly over bread crumbs. Add 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar and your spices. Set aside.

In a small bowl, crack egg and beat it slightly. This helps prevent overworking the meat while combining, resulting in a tougher meatloaf. Add egg to large bowl with meat mixture. Combine well with hands, do not overwork the meat mixture.

In a small bowl combine 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar and 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar. Mix well with a fork.

Cover pan with aluminum. Place meatloaf in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Sides should be lightly browned when ready to uncover foil.

Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Allow to rest uncovered for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with your favorite sides!
