This glazed meat loaf recipe is so good it may replace your current favorite. Instead of topping the meat loaf with ketchup alone, we simmer ketchup, brown sugar and Dijon mustard together. This brown sugar meat loaf glaze coats the loaf with an unforgettable sweet and tangy flavor.<\/p>\n<p>The glaze isn\u2019t the only remarkable thing about this meat loaf. We use two unique ingredients to take it to the next level. Shredded carrots add moisture to keep the meat loaf juicy and tender. Meanwhile, sharp cheddar cheese amps up the savory vibes. These simple additions create a fantastic twist on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/classic-comfort-food-dinners\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/classic-comfort-food-dinners\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">classic comfort food dinner<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Glazed Meat Loaf<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1937678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Home-Style-Glazed-Meat-Loaf_FT23_27136_ST_1117_1-SS-Edit.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Home Style Glazed Meat Loaf Ft23 27136 St 1117 1 Ss Edit\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Brown sugar meat loaf glaze<\/strong>: This meat loaf is juicy and delicious, but the glaze is the real star! The combination of brown sugar, ketchup and Dijon mustard gives the loaf the perfect finishing touch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lean ground beef<\/strong>: We generally use 80\/20 ground beef because of its higher fat content. But in this recipe, we add cheese to the mix, which adds needed fat so you can get away with using a lean ground beef.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shredded cheddar cheese<\/strong>: Cheese isn&#8217;t typical in meat loaf recipes, but it makes the loaf hearty and indulgent. (It also melts into the other ingredients to hold the loaf together!)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carrots and onion<\/strong>: Veggies add flavor to any meat loaf, and in this recipe, carrots help keep the loaf moist as it cooks. Use a box grater or a food processor to shred the vegetables as finely as possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs and milk<\/strong>: These are binding ingredients, which means they hold the meat loaf together as it cooks. They\u2019re key to ensuring the loaf stays together when you slice it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crushed saltines<\/strong>: We love meat loaf recipes that use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-with-saltines\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-with-saltines\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">saltine crackers<\/a> instead of bread crumbs. Saltines have a fantastic salty character, and they help the loaf retain its shape.

Just make sure to cook the loaf to the safe cook temp for the meat you&#8217;re using.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Glazed Meat Loaf<\/h2>\n<p>Leftover meat loaf is good in the refrigerator for three to four days. Let the meat loaf cool after cooking. Cut it into individual portions, and store them in a container with a tightly fitted lid. Reheat the leftovers in the microwave until warmed through. To make leftover meat loaf sandwiches, gently fry the leftover slices in a skillet to give them a crisp edge. Layer them between thick-sliced bread and your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/burger-toppings\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/burger-toppings\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">burger toppings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For a make-ahead meat loaf, tightly wrap the cooled whole meat loaf, and store it in the fridge. To reheat, unwrap the loaf, and transfer it to an oven-safe dish. Cook it in a 350\u00b0 oven until a thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf reads 165\u00b0, about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you freeze glazed meat loaf?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, cooked meat loaf can be frozen for up to three months. To freeze whole meat loaf, wrap the cooled meat loaf in aluminum foil. Store it in a freezer-safe resealable plastic bag. To freeze the slices, wrap them individually and store in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.<\/p>\n<h2>Glazed Meat Loaf Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1937680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Home-Style-Glazed-Meat-Loaf_FT23_27136_ST_1117_8-SS-Edit.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Home Style Glazed Meat Loaf Ft23 27136 St 1117 8 Ss Edit\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What is the best meat for meat loaf?<\/h3>\n<p>The best meat for meat loaf is 80\/20 ground beef because of its high fat content. The ratio of lean meat to fat in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/which-ground-beef-is-best-for-burgers\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/which-ground-beef-is-best-for-burgers\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">ground beef<\/a> affects the meat loaf\u2019s moisture content. However, you can mix lean ground beef with higher-fat meats like ground pork or sausage. In this glazed meat loaf recipe, we add fat by mixing in cheddar cheese. You could use other lean meats, such as ground chicken or turkey, if desired.<\/p>\n<h3>How can you make sure your glazed meat loaf is moist?<\/h3>\n<p>We ensure this glazed meat loaf recipe is moist with a couple secret ingredients: finely shredded carrots and cheddar cheese. Meat loaf made with lean ground beef can turn out dry if it doesn\u2019t contain enough fat. Cheddar cheese adds the necessary amount. Meanwhile, carrots add moisture to the meat loaf, keeping it juicy as it cooks. Another way to ensure meat loaf is moist is to avoid overmixing the meat. Use a gentle hand when mixing and shaping the loaf to prevent a tough loaf with a dry, crumbly texture.<\/p>\n<h3>How can you tell when glazed meat loaf is done cooking?<\/h3>\n<p>Using an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/why-you-need-an-instant-read-meat-thermometer\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/why-you-need-an-instant-read-meat-thermometer\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">instant-read meat thermometer<\/a> is the best way to know when glazed meat loaf is done cooking. Meat loaf is finished cooking when it reaches at least 160\u00b0.<\/p>\n<h3>Why did the glazed meat loaf fall apart?<\/h3>\n<p>Meat loaf can fall apart if you don&#8217;t rest the loaf for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Resting allows the juices to redistribute within the loaf so the contents stay together without crumbling. A loaf can also fall apart if you don&#8217;t have the right binding ingredients. This recipe uses saltine crackers, milk, eggs and cheddar cheese as binders to hold everything together.<\/p>\n<h3>What do you serve with glazed meat loaf?<\/h3>\n<p>Serve glazed meat loaf with your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/meat-loaf-sides\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/meat-loaf-sides\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">meat loaf sides<\/a> like green bean casserole, sauteed peas, honey-glazed carrots, mashed potatoes or baked rolls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This glazed meat loaf is perfectly moist thanks to the addition of a couple secret ingredients.

I've never met a meatloaf I enjoyed making before this one.  It really is enough to serve 12.   For the average family, you can form it in 2 loaves in the  9x12 and have enough for two meals. Also, I just use regular mustard and I usually double the sauce recipe b\/c everyone likes extra for rice or potatoes.. For badkitty...make sure the measure the vegetables...too many make it too moist and it will fall apart.  Also, make sure to bake it until it reaches temp...then allow 10 minutes to \"set up\" after removing from the oven.
