This is my favorite way to cook meatloaf, I like my meatloaf moist and I love meatloaf sandwiches, so after trial & error this is how I get it that way. This recipe works great with regular ground beef and 86% lean ground beef,*Note What I experienced with ground beef that is 96% lean you will need to sauté: The onion, celery,& garlic because this grade of meat cooks to fast for the veggies to cook inside the meatloaf.

prep time 15 Min
cook time 45 Min
method Bake
yield 4-6 serving(s)

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup onions, small white
  • 1 - egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon sage
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1 stalk celery
  • 1/2 cup rolled oates
  • 1 1/2 cups dried bread croutons

How To Make moist meatloaf rhonda's

  • Step 1
    Gather Your Ingredients.
  • Step 2
    Add hamburger, onion, egg, salt & pepper to taste, garlic, sage, & celery. Mix with hands completely.
  • Step 3
    Pour 1/2 of the can of tomato sauce in the mixture and reserve the other 1/2 for the top of the meatloaf in the last 15 min of cooking.
  • Step 4
    Mix in the rolled oats.
  • Step 5
    Now mix in the bread croutons. There should be a lot of bread croutons to meat ratio. This makes it moist. I use homemade croutons.
  • Step 6
    Put in an 8 X 8 inch Pan and form a loaf.
  • Step 7
    Bake Covered at 375 degree oven for 45 min. *Note using 96% lean ground beef your cooking time will be considerably less. About 30 min.
  • Step 8
    When you check your meatloaf about 20-25 min later add the other 1/2 can of tomato sauce. And remove the cover. And bake for the last 15 min of cooking.
