Meatloaf with Jalapeño Ketchup Glaze

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 lb sausage
• 0.5 onion (diced)
• 1 sleeve Ritz crackers (crushed)
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tbsp Kinder's caramelized onion seasoning
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (for the meatloaf)
• salt (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)
• 0.5 cup jalapeño ketchup (for the glaze)
• 2 tbsp brown sugar (for the glaze)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (for the glaze)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. 2

   Add the ground beef, sausage, diced onion, crushed crackers, eggs, Italian seasoning, paprika, caramelized onion seasoning, garlic powder, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to a large bowl.

3. 3

   Mix just until combined. Do not overmix, or the meatloaf will become very dense.

4. 4

   Transfer the meat mixture to a baking pan and shape it into a loaf.

5. 5

   In a separate bowl, mix the jalapeño ketchup, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce until combined.

6. 6

   Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

7. 7

   Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour 15 minutes.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf cool before serving. Slice as thickly as you like.

9. 9

   For leftovers, the creator recommends chilling the meatloaf and using it in sandwiches; they describe making a grilled-cheese-style sandwich with mayonnaise, essentially a patty melt.

Notes

The spoken transcript gives a looser glaze range (½ to 1 cup ketchup and 2–4 tablespoons brown sugar); the written post recipe specifies ½ cup jalapeño ketchup and 2 tablespoons brown sugar, used here. The written post calls for 1 hour 15 minutes; the transcript says roughly 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 20 minutes. The creator also mentions serving roasted potatoes and making leftover sandwiches. No internal doneness temperature is given in the source.
