- Hey, it's Shawn with IWashYouDry.com
and today, we're gonna be making a delicious,
quick and easy comfort food.
It's my classic meatloaf.
Perfect for any busy week night.
It has a delicious glaze that goes over the top,
moist and juicy, and just what you need tonight.
Let' get going.
(snazzy rhythmic music)
Now that we have all of our ingredients prepped,
we're just gonna add everything to a large bowl
and use some clean hands to get in there
and mix it all together.
Start with two pounds of lean ground beef,
add in a half-a-cup of diced onion,
one cup of bread crumbs, two teaspoons parsley,
two teaspoons of garlic powder, one teaspoon of salt,
one teaspoon of pepper and two eggs.
(snazzy rhythmic music)
And now for my secret ingredient
that really takes the meatloaf to the next level,
it's barbecue sauce.
I'm just using my favorite barbecue sauce here.
You use your favorite barbecue sauce,
'cause that's really what's gonna make it your own.
(snazzy rhythmic music)
All right, I'm gonna go ahead and remove my rings right now.
Make sure you wash your hands
after you touch any sort of raw meat.
(snazzy rhythmic music)
So this is a free form meatloaf,
where we're not using a pan.
We're gonna shape it into a loaf
that's about eight inches long and four inches wide.
And if you're not a fan of seeing those big chunks of onion,
you can either sub out the diced onion for some onion powder
or just give it a nice fine dice, before you add it in.
We're gonna go ahead and pop this into the oven
for about 45 minutes at 350 degrees,
and then we're gonna bump up the temperature
after we put on our glaze.
So, let's get it in.
Just before the meatloaf comes out,
we're gonna whip up a quick and easy,
just three-ingredient glaze that's gonna go over the top
and then we're gonna pop it back in the oven
for a few more minutes to get it finished.
Just need two tablespoons of brown sugar,
one-third cup of ketchup,
and just one teaspoon of prepared yellow mustard.
(snazzy rhythmic music)
All right, let's pull that meatloaf out of the oven.
(snazzy rhythmic music)
Pour the glaze over the top of the meatloaf
and then use a pastry brush to get it all over the sides.
(snazzy rhythmic music)
All right, now I'm just gonna pop this back into the oven
for another 10-15 minutes,
until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
(snazzy rhythmic music)
(sighs)
Oh, boy, I wish there was smell-a-vision,
because it smells amazing in here right now.
All you have to do is just let this rest
for another five to 10 minutes before slicing it
so it remains nice and juicy.
All right, who's excited for meatloaf.
I know I am, let's give this a slice.
(snazzy rhythmic music)
It is so juicy.
Oh my goodness, this looks so good.
(snazzy rhythmic music)
Okay, mmm, that glaze is seriously one of my favorites.
You're gonna love that secret ingredient in there,
but enough talking.
Let's give this a try.
(snazzy rhythmic music)
Mmm-mmmm.
This seriously reminds me of my childhood.
It is so good and so comforting.
We love to pair this classic meatloaf
with some mashed potatoes, any sort of a steamed vegetable,
would be great as well.
I seriously hope you try this and enjoy it.
