Man Catching Meat Loaf Recipes

ETHAN'S "HUNGRY MAN'S CAST IRON" MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Place a large cast iron skillet in the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine ground beef, Italian bread crumbs, noodle soup mix, 1/2 the tomato sauce, eggs, onion, ketchup, cracker crumbs, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, barbeque sauce, steak sauce, salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder in a large bowl; mix well.
• Mix remaining tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl until topping is smooth.
• Remove skillet from the oven. Place ground beef mixture in skillet, smoothing the top. Spread topping over beef.
• Bake in the preheated oven until beef is mostly cooked through, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove from oven and drain off grease. Return to the oven and continue cooking until meatloaf juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 1 hour more.
• Remove meatloaf from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
