- 2 packets dry onion soup mix
- 2 teaspoons pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 8 pounds ground beef
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup prepared mustard
Instructions
-
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease four 13×9-inch baking dishes.
-
Mixing the Meatloaf: In a very large bowl, combine the eggs, V8 juice, chopped onions, bread crumbs, dry onion soup mix, pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
-
Adding the Beef: Crumble the ground beef over the mixture in the bowl. Use your hands or a sturdy spoon to thoroughly mix everything together until the beef is evenly distributed with the other ingredients.
-
Forming the Loaves: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a loaf shape. Place each loaf into a greased 13×9-inch baking dish.
-
Baking the Meatloaves: Bake the loaves uncovered in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
-
Preparing the Glaze: While the meatloaves are baking, in a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and prepared mustard until smooth and well combined.
-
Glazing the Meatloaves: After 45 minutes of baking, remove the meatloaves from the oven and spread the ketchup mixture evenly over the tops of each loaf.
-
Finishing the Bake: Return the meatloaves to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F (70°C) to ensure they are fully cooked through.
-
Serving: Once baked, let the meatloaves rest for a few minutes before slicing. This recipe yields 4 meatloaves, each serving about 8 hearty portions.
