Mama's Best Meatloaf Recipe

I'm sure you'll agree that this is THE BEST meatloaf recipe!



The vegetables are the key to making this sooo very moist and delicious! Make sure that you cut the vegetables up really fine because you don't want visible chucks or carrots or celery in your meatloaf.




Here's what you are going to need:

2-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
4 slices bread, torn into small pieces
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons dried parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon kosher salt (or 2 teaspoons of table salt)
2 teaspoons pepper
1 egg, slightly beaten

For Topping:

1/2 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 tablespoon brown sugar

Mix all ingredients (except topping ingredients) together. You're gonna have to use your hands to get it mixed up good.

Shape into a loaf and place on a sheet pan (for easy clean-up, line the pan with heavy duty tin foil). Mix together ketchup and brown sugar and spread on top.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 1 hour or until done.
