Sunday Meatloaf

We love meatloaf. It's such a homey, warm, comfort food. It makes the perfect Sunday meal. There are so many variations to meatloaf. This one is basic, but not lacking flavor. Serve with homemade mashed potatoes and a green vegetable, such as peas, green beans, or Brussels sprouts. The best part of this meal? The people you spend it with.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon granulated onion
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons steak sauce (such as A.1.®)
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Mix ground beef, mayonnaise, bread crumbs, mustard, onion, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until well combined. Transfer mixture to a 9x5-inch loaf pan with high sides. Form into a loaf by picking it up and forcing it down into the pan, making sure to knock out any air and square off all sides.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Spin pan and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
4. Mix steak sauce, ketchup, and sugar together in a small bowl.
5. Remove from the oven and spoon sauce over top. Bake until no longer pink in the center, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
6. Remove form the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove meat loaf to a serving platter and slice into 8 slices.
