The Meatloaf That Will Change Your Mind About Meatloaf

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

barbecue sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade barbecue sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup + vinegar

Homemade sauce can be lower in sugar, and ketchup + vinegar is a budget-friendly alternative.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, combine seasoned breadcrumbs, diced onion, diced green pepper, milk, ketchup, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, all-purpose seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Mix in the ground beef until well combined but not overmixed.

Shape the mixture into an egg shape and place it in a 9x13 stainless steel pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes.

While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the sauce by combining apple cider vinegar, ketchup, minced onion, and dark brown sugar (or raw sugar with molasses) in a saucepan and cooking until reduced.
