Easy Meatloaf Recipe
I am not typically a meatloaf fan, but I make an exception for Mama's Meatloaf recipe. It is SO good! SO tender and juicy and packed full of amazing flavor. My favorite part of the meatloaf is that yummy ketchup topping. Pile on some mashed potatoes and green beans and you have the best comfort food around! Perfect for a chilly night!

How To Make Mama's Meatloaf
Mama's Meatloaf is very quick and easy to make. Start with some lean ground beef. Add an egg, some oats, onion, salt, pepper, sage, Worcestershire sauce, and milk. Gently mix everything together and place in a loaf pan or meatloaf pan. Top the meatloaf with some ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, and a splash of lemon juice. Pop it in the oven and dinner is done. I garnished the cooked meatloaf with a little dried parsley. It makes it look fancy. LOL!
I used a meatloaf pan for this recipe. I love my meatloaf pan! It has an insert that keeps the meatloaf from sitting in the bottom of the pan. This helps keep the grease off the bottom of the meatloaf and makes it so much easier to get it out of the pan!
To make Mama's Meatloaf gluten-free use gluten-free oats and gluten-free Worcestershire sauce. Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free.
Can You Make Meatloaf in Advance?
You can definitely make Mama's Meatloaf the night before and keep it in the refrigerator overnight. Just pop it in the oven when you get home from work and dinner is a breeze!
Can You Freeze Meatloaf?
Sure! If you are freezing Mama's Meatloaf unbaked, I recommend waiting to add the ketchup mixture until you are ready to bake. When you are ready to bake the frozen meatloaf, thaw completely in the refrigerator. Top the thawed meatloaf with the ketchup mixture and bake as directed below.
You can also freeze the cooked meatloaf for a quick meal later. I like to go ahead and cut the meatloaf into slices before freezing. To reheat the meatloaf, thaw completely and reheat in the microwave or covered in the oven.
