Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 pounds ground chuck
- 1 cup crushed saltine crackers
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/4 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- One 6-ounce can tomato paste
- 5 slices white bread
- 2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the chuck, crackers, celery, onions, Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons of the Dijon mustard, the parsley, 1 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper, the eggs and half the can of tomato paste, and mix together until just combined.
Place the white bread on the bottom of a baking sheet and place the beef mixture on top. Shape the mixture into a 12-inch loaf.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and lemon juice with the remaining tomato paste, Dijon mustard and salt and pepper. Spread the mixture over the meatloaf and tent with aluminum foil. Bake until a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees F, about 50 minutes. Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Let the meatloaf stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

This recipe was exactly what I was expecting - a simple, tasty, easy to make, homestyle meatloaf. You know, the type of stuff Grandma used to make. The taste was outstanding. It did want to fall apart a little, but I think that's because I used 93% lean beef instead of the chuck to cut the fat and calories a bit. The sauce is tangy and delicious. Overall, an excellent recipe.

I'll give this 5 stars for the taste, and that's having forgotten to add the worcestershire sauce. And that's after my wife had to make a special trip to the store to buy it! The taste is great. However, it totally fell apart. It stuck to the bread, and there was no way to slice it. I can't imagine worcestershire sauce would hold the meatloaf together, so I don't know if it needed to bake longer, needed more egg, or if I was just unlucky. It was great, but not something I'd have been proud to serve to company for its appearance. Guess I'll try again.
