Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Amish Meatloaf.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together the ground beef, crushed crackers, 3/4 cup of ketchup, finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and eggs.
Step 3
Stir until everything is harmoniously combined.
Step 4
Next, transfer this savory mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan, pressing it down firmly to create a solid base.
Step 5
For a touch of indulgence, lay strips of bacon over the top, allowing their rich flavor to infuse the meatloaf as it cooks.
Step 6
Place the loaf in your preheated oven and let it bake for approximately one hour, or until it reaches a perfect doneness.
Step 7
While the meatloaf bakes to perfection, whip up a delightful glaze by whisking together the remaining 1 cup of ketchup, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl.
Step 8
In the final 15 minutes of baking, generously spread this glaze over the meatloaf, creating a mouthwatering finish that will have everyone coming back for seconds.
Step 9
Enjoy the aroma that fills your kitchen as this classic dish comes to life!.
