    A Horseradish Meatloaf with a Kick! I wish I would've started making this delicious meatloaf years ago. A keeper for sure!
     
    Horseradish Meatloaf

    This Superb Horseradish Meatloaf is not for the faint of heart! While it includes all the ingredients you would typically find in a meatloaf, this gourmet meatloaf also includes some horseradish (hence the name of the dish) as well as a bit of chili sauce for good measure.

    💭 Baking Meatloaf

    When it comes to baking your meatloaf, you have a couple of options. You can bake it the traditional way in a loaf pan or bake it on a foil-lined baking sheet.

    meat on plate

    Depending on how lean your ground beef is, you may find the meatloaf sitting in grease. One way to avoid this is to shape the meat mixture into the shape of a loaf and bake it on a baking sheet. This will allow the grease to run off into the pan.

    🌡️ Meatloaf Temperature

    Our friends over at the USDA recommend an internal temperature of 160°F. This should be enough to kill salmonella. You can take the meatloaf out of the oven around 150°F and let it rest for 10 minutes. Check the internal temperature again before slicing & serving.

    Have you ever wondered what's in Horseradish Sauce? Not much to it actually. It's made with grated horseradish root, vinegar, and salt. One of these days I am going to make my own. When I do I will update this post. Update: Homemade Creamy Horseradish Sauce!

    🐄 How to Handle Raw Beef

    Thaw raw ground beef on a plate on the lowest shelf of the refrigerator, to avoid dripping onto other foods.
    Keep raw and ready-to-eat meats separate.
    Wash hands thoroughly before and after handling raw ground beef. Wash cutting boards, bowls, and utensils used to prepare raw ground beef with hot soapy water and rinse well.
    Use separate plates to carry raw ground beef patties to the cooking area and cooked patties to the serving area.
    Use a Thermometer to ensure Ground Beef Reaches the Safely Cooked Internal Temperature of 160°F.

      I substituted Panko because I didn’t have any crackers, and I left the catch up off the top to save on some sugar. It was one of the best meatloaf recipes I have tried. Definitely a keeper!
