When I was growing up, my mom never ever made meatloaf and I always wanted to try it - I finally tried it at a restaurant and loved it. When I moved out on my own I started experimenting with different recipes and creating my own version. I finally came up with the best meatloaf I have ever made, and I wanted to share it.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion and garlic 5 minutes, until onion is tender.

Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper.

In a large bowl, mix the onion and garlic, beef, crumbled bread, crushed crackers, egg, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 can tomato sauce.

Gradually stir in the milk 1 teaspoon at a time until mixture is moist, but not soggy.

Transfer the mixture to a 5x9 inch loaf pan.

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven 40 minutes.

Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), and continue baking 15 minutes, to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

In a small bowl, mix the remaining tomato sauce and ketchup.

Pour over the top of the meatloaf, and continue baking 10 minutes.
