Moms Old-Fashioned Meat Loaf (Oven)

Description:

This is the quintessential comforting Meat Loaf of your childhood, with a bit of onion, celery and ketchup, covered with a brown sugar and ketchup glaze.  Full size serves 4-6.  Half serves 2-4. 

Cooking Instructions

Defrost the meat loaf in the refrigerator overnight, if necessary.

Preheat the oven to 350 F.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.   Unwrap the meat loaf and arrange it in the center of the baking sheet.  Allow the meat to come to room temperature for 20 minutes.

In a small saucepan over low heat, heat the sauce.  Spoon about half of the mixture over the meat loaf, reserving the rest.  Lay the bacon over the top of the meat loaf.  Bake the meat loaf for 55 to 60 minutes, until the bacon is cooked and the meat loaf registers 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.  Allow to rest for 15 minutes.  Rewarm the reserved sauce.  Slice the meat loaf with a serrated knife and serve, with the reserved warmed sauce on the side.
