This easy and savory meatloaf glaze is made with ketchup and chipotle. This takes the glaze to another level with a bit of spiciness that accents the flavors.
Ingredients ¼ cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon crushed chipotle pepper. Mix together and add on top of the meatloaf. Bake or place in the grated for 2 minutes or less.
The time can vary a little bit from one brand to another but it is about 25 minutes. over the meatloaf in foil paper and cook for 20 minutes, take off the foil and cook for another 5.
I always buy the 90/10 ground beef. Usually, I usually buy the organic packages sold at Costco. If you want your meatloaf to be less greasy use the 90/10 ground beef. 90 is for the quantity of beef and 10 is for the percentage of fat. So if you buy let’s say 80/20 beef there you have a larger percentage of fat that in the end reduces the size of the meatloaf.
