Nothing beats the nostalgic comfort of a perfectly crafted meatloaf that brings back memories of Sunday dinners and family gatherings. This classic Your Momma's Meatloaf recipe combines the perfect blend of ground beef, pork, and veal with aromatic herbs and a glossy, caramelized glaze that creates an irresistible golden crust. The secret lies in the balanced mixture of breadcrumbs and eggs that keep every slice tender and moist, while the sweet and tangy ketchup-Worcestershire glaze adds that signature flavor that makes this dish a true American comfort food icon. Whether you're feeding a hungry family or meal prepping for the week, this foolproof recipe delivers consistent results every time. - Claude

Ingredients
1 1/2 lb ground meatloaf mix (680g) (equal parts ground beef, pork and veal or turkey)
1 cup dried breadcrumbs (120g)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 medium onion, grated
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup ketchup (120ml)
1 Tbsp plus 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp light brown sugar

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
Combine the meatloaf mix, breadcrumbs, parsley, eggs, onion, garlic, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, 1 tablespoon of the Worcestershire, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Using your hands, mix together until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and form it into a compact oval-shaped loaf about 9 inches by 5 inches.
Bake the meatloaf for 30 minutes.
Stir the brown sugar together with the remaining 1/4 cup ketchup and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire in a small bowl for the glaze.
Brush the top and sides of the meatloaf all over with the glaze.
Return to the oven and bake until the glaze starts to caramelize and a thermometer inserted in the center of the meatloaf registers 160°F (71°C), about 25 minutes more.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

💬 Uncle Dave says... This recipe is adapted from Food Network Kitchen. The combination of three meats creates the most flavorful and tender meatloaf, but you can substitute with all ground beef or add ground turkey if preferred.
