How to Make the Boston Market Meatloaf Recipe

1. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix the ground beef, tomato sauce, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
3. Combine all the ingredients gently, but do not over-mix because this will make the meatloaf very tough.
4. Divide the meat mixture into a loaf shape and put it on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil.
5. If you want you can also use a loaf pan to make it even more so. If you do, lightly grease the pan before adding the meat mixture.
6. In a small saucepan, mix the tomato sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
7. Simmer it over medium heat until the sugar melts and the glaze thickens.
8. Place half of the glaze on top of the meatloaf and spread it around.
9. Put the meatloaf into the preheated oven and cook it for 1 hour or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf is 160°F (71°C).
10. After about 10 minutes to the end of the baking time, remove it from the oven, spread the remaining glaze over the top, and bake for the remaining time.
11. After the meatloaf has been cooked, it is recommended you leave it to stand for about 10 minutes before it is sliced.

Tips for Making the Best Meatloaf

• For the perfect meatloaf, you want your ground beef to have some fat in it so it’s not dry.
• If you want the meatloaf to be leaner then you can use turkey instead, which will contain less fat also.
• If you are a cheese fan you can add some cheese into the middle of the meatloaf which will melt when you bake it!
• Feel free to add some carrots, celery, or bell peppers and mix them into the meatloaf which will make it healthier.
