Snakesy's Diner Style Meatloaf

Here's Snakesy's Diner Style Meatloaf. Everybody loves my diner style meatloaf and everybody loves Snakesy!

Here's the recipe and some pics:

Ketchup Brown Sugar Glaze:

½ cup ketchup or chili sauce
¼ cup brown sugar
4 teaspoons cider vinegar or white vinegar

Mix all the ingredients together in a small pan or bowl and set aside.

Wet Mix:

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, diced finely
2 medium garlic cloves minced
2 large eggs
½ cup whole milk
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon table salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Dry Mix:

1⅓ cups fresh bread crumbs
⅓ cup minced fresh parsley leaves

Meat Mix:
2 pounds meatloaf mix (50 percent ground beef, 50 percent ground pork). Mix them together in a bowl.

Instructions:
Line a 13 by 9-inch baking loaf style pan with foil (foil helps to lock in the moisture); set aside. Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté for about 5-6 minutes. Set aside and let cool. We'll add that to the meat mixture later.

Mix the eggs & the milk, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard salt, pepper, thyme, and Tabasco sauce. Combine the egg mixture with the meat in a large bowl and add the crackers, parsley, and cooked onion and garlic; mix with a fork until evenly blended and the meat mixture does not stick to the bowl.

Turn the meat mixture onto a work surface. Shape the mixture into an approximately 9" by 5" loaf shape.

Bake the meatloaf for about an hour until the center of the loaf registers 160 degrees Fahrenheit with a thermometer. Then cool for at least 20 minutes and add the ketchup brown sugar glaze.

Enjoy!
