Delicious Meatloaf Secret Ingredient Ketchup Recipes

Steps:

• Mix ground chuck with breadcrumbs.
• (extra lean works well too).
• Add salt,pepper and egg.
• Mixing with you hands now, add the Heinz Chili Sauce and the milk.
• Seperate the mixture in half and form 2 loaves.
• They will both fit comfortably in a 13" by 9" pan.
• Mix the topping together and spread on the top and the sides of the loaves.
• Cook at 375 for one hour or 400 for 45 minutes.
• Check for firmness.
• Let rest for ten minutes before cutting.
• Tips---------.
• If you have stale bread you can lay 2 slices under each loaf and it will soak up the grease so your meatloaf is a bit leaner upon serving.
• Also, you can use the Chili Sauce on top of the meatloaf instead of catsup.
• This makes it spicier but my mother never did this because it would have given away her"Secret Ingredient" -- and the kids probably will like it better with catsup on top.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Stir ketchup, brown sugar, salt, and chili powder together in a bowl until smooth. Spread a small amount of the ketchup mixture into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan.
• Mix ground beef, croutons, onion, eggs, milk, and black pepper together in a large bowl; shape into a loaf and put into prepared pan. Spread remaining ketchup mixture over the loaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
