Best Meatloaf EVER

Today I wanted to share with you my two secret ingredients to make the best meat loaf ever, promise!  First off, I have never cooked with ground beef and my meat eater hubby is OK with it.  I always substitute ground turkey and and you would never know, it’s about the ingredients you add to bring out the flavors, not the meat itself.

Secret #1

Panko bread crumbs

Panko will soak up all of your flavors and you only need about half of what a normal recipe would call for since they will expand more then regular bread crumbs. Using panko, the meatloaf comes out much lighter tasting.

Secret #2 from my wonderful other “MOM”  Heinz chili sauce in place  of Catsup

It has a beautiful little kick to it, without being spicy.

Here you go, enjoy!

1egg

 Dash of salt and ground black pepper

1/2 cup panko crumbs

1/2 cup milk

Bottle of Heinz chili sauce 1/2 to mix, the other half for the top.

1 onion, chopped

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan.
• In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients but only using 1/2 of the Heinz chili sauce and mix well with your hands.
• Place the mixture into the loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until done.
• About the last 20 minutes cover the top of the meatloaf with the remaining chili sauce then returning it to the oven. This gives a beautiful glaze on top

Drizzle with a little extra chili sauce if you so desire.
