Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground beef
• 1 cup cooked macaroni
• 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked macaroni, ranch seasoning mix, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 3

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape it into an even loaf, ensuring it is packed tightly to hold its shape.

Step 4

In a small bowl, prepare the meatloaf glaze by mixing together the ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard until smooth.

Step 5

Spoon the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf, spreading it out with the back of a spoon or a small spatula for even coverage.

Step 6

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes slicing easier.

Step 8

Carefully remove the meatloaf from the pan and transfer it to a serving platter. Slice into thick portions and serve warm. Enjoy your Ranch Style Maca Meatloaf RSC alongside your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or a simple green salad!
