Best Southern Style Meatloaf Sandwich Recipes

SOUTHERN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Pre-heat the oven to 350 F.
• Grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan or line it with foil and then lightly grease it. Alternatively, for a free-form loaf, line a rimmed baking pan with foil.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the crushed saltines, onion, green pepper, egg, paprika, garlic powder, salt, thyme, black pepper, 1/3 cup of ketchup , milk, and Worcestershire sauce .
• Pack the meat mixture into the loaf pan or shape it and place it on the baking pan.
• Bake the meatloaf for 1 hour. Carefully pour excess grease into a can or jar (dispose of it in the trash after it cools).
• Spread the meatloaf with 1/2 to 3/4 cup of ketchup or barbecue sauce and continue baking for 15 minutes longer, or until the meatloaf registers at least 160 F on an instant-read food thermometer inserted into the center. (If you have instead swapped ground turkey or chicken for the beef, cook the loaf to an internal temperature of 165 F.)
• Let the meatloaf rest for ten minutes before slicing so it holds together well. Then, serve and enjoy!
