Gwen's Meatloaf Starter

Ingredients

Directions

Lightly grease 9" x 5" (23cm x 13cm) loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving 3" (7.5cm) overhang.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
In bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, combine meatloaf starter, saltine crackers, egg and ground meat. Mix on low speed until just blended, approx. 30 seconds. Alternatively, place ingredients in large bowl and mix by hand until evenly combined. Transfer mixture to prepared pan and mix with fingers or spatula. Press down evenly to smooth top.
To make optional sauce, stir together 1 cup (250g) ketchup, 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 cup (2 oz.) brown sugar in medium bowl. Using spoon or spatula, evenly distribute 1/4 cup of sauce over top of meatloaf.
Transfer meatloaf to preheated oven and bake until instant-read thermometer registers 160°F (71°C) for beef or pork, or 165°F (74°C) for chicken or turkey, approx. 60–65 minutes. Transfer pan to wire rack and let rest for 20–30 minutes.
If using sauce, pour remainder in small pan over low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until brown sugar dissolves, approx. 3–5 minutes.
Lift parchment paper and transfer meatloaf to cutting board. Slice and serve with warm sauce, if desired.
Makes 8–10 servings.
