Best Meatloaf Ever – Bobbi Cupboard

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1/4 cup onion, minced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

• 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

• 2 pounds extra-lean ground beef

• 3 slices bread, toasted and crumbled

• 7 buttery round crackers, crushed

• 1 egg, lightly beaten

• 3 1/2 tablespoons sour cream

• 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, divided

• 1/4 cup milk, optional

• 3 tablespoons ketchup

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat on the stove-top, melt the butter and cook the chopped onion and garlic, until the onion turns translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.

Step 3
Turn off the heat and season with the salt and pepper.

Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sauteed onion and garlic with the beef, crumbled bread, crushed crackers, egg, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 can of the tomato sauce.

Step 5
Add the milk about a tablespoon at a time to the mixture, until the consistency is moist but not saturated.

Step 6
Place the mixture in a loaf pan and bake for 40 minutes uncovered.

Step 7
Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Continue baking the meatloaf until the internal temperature reaches 160 F, about 15 minutes.

Step 8
In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 can of the tomato sauce and ketchup.

Step 9
Pour the tomato mixture over the top of the meatloaf, and bake for 10 minutes.

Step 10
Serve warm.
