This sweet and tangy meatloaf sauce recipe takes only 5 minutes. It’s the perfect topping for meatloaf, meatballs, or burgers, delivering a flavorful glaze that’s sure to impress your family.
Ingredients
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Start by assembling all the ingredients, including ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Having everything ready will make the process smoother.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and white vinegar in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add a dash of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the mixture.
- Whisk Until Smooth: Employ a wire whipping tool to blend the components thoroughly. Thoroughly mix the brown sugar until it dissolves to create a smooth and uniform sauce texture.
- Taste and Adjust: Give the sauce a quick taste test. Consider increasing the amount of brown sugar slightly for a glaze with more sweetness. For extra tanginess, add a small splash of vinegar.
- Apply to Meatloaf: Brush the sauce generously over your prepared meatloaf during the last 20-30 minutes of baking. This allows the glaze to caramelize perfectly without burning.
- Optional Second Layer: For an extra-thick glaze, brush on a second layer of sauce about 10 minutes before removing the meatloaf from the oven.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice your meatloaf and serve it with additional sauce on the side for dipping. Combine with your preferred accompaniments to create a filling and delightful dinner.
