Categories: Entree - Beef

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 t. olive oil
• 1 small Spanish onion, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt
• 2/3 C. crushed Saltines (about 24)
• 3 T. milk
• 1/2 T. Dijon mustard
• 1 T. Worcestershire
• 1/2 t. hot sauce
• 1 large eggs
• Black pepper & salt
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 2 T. C. chopped fresh parsley, optional
• 1/4 C. ketchup
• 2 T. brown sugar
• 2 T. apple cider vinegar

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°.

2. For the meatloaf: Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and onions, season with some salt and sauté until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and let cool.

3. In a large bowl, add the crackers, milk, mustard, Worcestershire, hot sauce and eggs. Whisk together, and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the meat, parsley and cooled onions. Mix with your hands until evenly combined.

4. Using your hands, gently form the meatloaf into a loaf about 9-by-5-inches. Place on a broiler pan which will allow fat to drain. (Line the bottom of the pan with foil for easy clean-up.) Slather the glaze over the meatloaf. Bake about 1 hour or until the meat registers 170° on an instant-read thermometer. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

5. For the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar and apple cider vinegar.
