Description
A savory meatloaf recipe topped with a sweet and tangy bourbon glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup ketchup (for the meatloaf mix)
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup ketchup. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overmix.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared loaf pan.
- In a small saucepan, combine the bourbon, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Cook for about 5 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
- Pour half of the bourbon glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven and pour the remaining glaze over the top.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a less alcoholic glaze, simmer the bourbon mixture for an extra 5 minutes to allow more alcohol to evaporate.
- You can substitute ground turkey or a mix of beef and pork for the ground beef.
