Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup torn white bread (about 4 slices)
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 pound ground beef (I used ground chuck)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan
• 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 3/4 cup ketchup
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. If using a cast iron skillet to cook your meatloaf, like I did, place it in the oven as well.
• Place the torn bread in a bowl. Pour the milk over the top and stir to coax the bread to soak up the milk. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, stir together the ingredients for the tomato gravy. Set aside until ready to use.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and seasoned salt. Remove the torn bread from the bowl, lightly squeezing to remove the excess milk, and place it in the bowl with the rest of the meatloaf ingredients. Use your hands to combine all the ingredients until well-mixed. Be careful not to compress or squeeze the ingredients.
• Form the meatloaf mixture into a loaf about 4-5 inches wide. Place on a broiler pan or the preheated cast iron skillet. Coat the top with tomato gravy and place it in the oven.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Remove and spread more tomato gravy on top. Return to oven for 20-25 more minutes. Serve immediately with remaining tomato gravy for dipping.
